Ah, I've figured it out -- you must have one of those computer systems
as seen in the movie
"Brazil." (The one directed by ex-Monty Pythonite Terry Gilliam.)

On another front, right out of the blue, I just received the Help List
in Digest format . .
. for the first time in well over a year (?). Obviously I never
bothered to unsubscribe
from this, but what gives ? That option has been seriously broken for
a very long time.
Maybe I *should* unsubscribe from it, because it was extremely
unreliable for quite some
time before it failed, and I don't want to be cut off from you all
entirely.

Speaking of news, this (Feb.) was the 2nd. meeting in a row I couldn't
get to. Did it take
place ? What, if anything, did I miss. I happened to write to Jerry,
inquiring as to the
fate of his convention bid (not too hard to make a good guess on
this), but received no
reply.

Incidentally, my DSL is kaput for the time being. It's been teetering
on the brink all
through this monsoon season, and finally crapped out. The voice
portion won't sustain a
dial-up connection either. No possible relief before Mon. Good thing
the other line is
still happening, or I'd have to explore Mark & Ray's cell-phone
experiments.
