...which presumably casts some light on the question of whether Laura
is single.

As to the question.  I'd think a lot better of it if my SO didn't have
such a cleanliness fetish. :-)  No, really though, I think there is 
some truth to it.  The other day my girl-friend told someone that she
thought the only way we'd get married was if our desire to have kids
ever became stronger than our fear of marriage.  Unfortunately I'm not 
entirely sure that that's a healthy approach to a relationship.  Sigh.

    Simon the Walking Glitch was one of the principle sources
of this vast new mythology of dread.  He spent many weekends
in New Y ork, hobnobbing with the literary intelligensia, and
he was a master put-on artist.  He had a way of dropping
casual remarks in a mildly worried tone that carried conviction:
'The Beast keeps asking us to build a mate for it.'  Or, with a 
kind of sad and resigned smile:  'I wish the Beast didn't have 
such a low opinion of human beings.'  That sort of thing.
    Simon kept this kind of demonology circulating because the 
idea that the computers were taking over was one that the 
programmers had a vested interest in reinforcing.
    As long as people kept worrying that the machines were taking 
over, they wouldn't realize what was really happening.
    Which was that the programmers were taking over.
