Talk about having one's brain in standby!  My office NeXT is
plugged right into the T-10 net.  What was I thinking?  (Nothing.
apparently.)  I even wrote that guy a long letter this morning,
still blissfully unaware of being a dunce.  Shoulda had that nap
yesterday, I guess.

Btw, Glenn, I just got your book, "Thinking in PostScript."
Looks pretty good on first glance.  Bravo.  (You can't plug
it here, I suppose, but I can. :-)
