Wouldn't you just know that it'd be on my other computer
(at home), but somebody on one of my other mailing lists
has a sig-line that's a quote (I'm paraphrasing):
- Time was that I wished that computers could be as simple
to learn and operate as a telephone. I now have my wish...
I no longer understand how to operate my telephone.
