Subject:Howard's offer to show us his OED From:Patrick O'Connell <titanide -at- MICRO -dot- ORG> Date:Wed, 7 Jun 1995 08:34:45 -0400
Sure, Howard! Type it ALL in for us. You should be able to do that for
midnight tonight (when the techwr-l digests are sent out for the next
day), no?
I'M KIDDING! I'M KIDDING!

(yup, still haven't got around to constructing that .sig).
P.S. Seriously, folks, having a no-fee publicly available version of the
OED on the Net would be nice indeed, although personally I've only
referred to the dead-tree edition once -- and it was someone else's copy.
ANY Net-accessible dictionary would be nice!

===================
Ido, I do! Many years ago My wife purchased a 2-volume set that you need
a magnufying glass to read (honest!! -- it was included). It was on sale
for like 100 bucks or so (I think) about 14 years ago. Wanna see it?
