An article that will amuse many of you appeared on page 33 of the July 2 issue
of the New Yorker.  Entitled 'Man, Bytes, Dog', it describes a person's
decision over whether to buy a personal computer or a dog.  He has narrowed his
choice down to the Apple Macintosh and the Cairn Terrier.  Among the points
brought up:

 The Macintosh has a wonderful astrophysics package, but the Cairn has superior
 'Fetch' software.

 The Cairn is easily networkable - it can communicate with any dog within 3
 miles without any additional hardware.  And all dogs run the same operating
 system (not IBM-compatible, however).

And so it goes.  If such appeals to you, read it.
