The latest:  I've just received a postcard from "David" at Black Patch Systems
("Cat Bytes" ?!?) informing me that they've just received my P:R: Connection
and that I should be receiving my order Real Soon Now (a la Pournelle).
I *think* this was asynchronous with my letter last week.

By the way, I tried mailing my original response directly to Dave Pickett, but
either my mail program can't address his Honeywell network, or I don't know how
to use it, so I had to post this article and its predecessor.  I would
appreciate any "inter-network" assistance anyone out there can mail me.

Thanks.
