Exactly!  In fact, Apple Macintosh users will note that a lifetime supply
of hugs and kisses come with the new "Taliesin" (sp?) font that comes with
the latest software upgrade... (at least I think that was where I got it).
(They don't work on yourself, though... but that's because "it is more
blessed to give than to receive.")

(For those without a Mac... with the above font, when you type one of the
keys, it prints a little string of handwritten-looking x's and o's.)
