Whew! Here it is 4 days after returning from vacation and I’m just now crawling out from under the piled up work from my day job, Gadgeteer stuff and the rocks in my yard (don’t ask…). I’d like to thank all of you for the Birthday wishes in the discussion forum and for the personal […]

In a few days, I’ll be winging my way to Texas to spend a week with Judie and her family. I won’t be lugging my Powerbook with me on this trip. I figure I can check my email from Judie’s PC if I want to. I will probably just bring along a PDA and digital
