Hi Pooch! Where the hell you been? Figured the Q's link with your favorite MSFT would inspire an avalanche of X-File posts from the kennel. Welcome back. Well gang, the world moves in mysterious ways. Just as I was settling in at MIT and the rest of the computer science professors were starting to grok on my novel interpretations of wave form theory, the boys in real estate finance decided that they just had to have me get back into the game. Fired off a few e-mails to Alan G. to get those Super Dollars cranked up before the world's liquidity started to get dryer than my martinis and hot damn if we're not rocking and rolling again. Just as Maurice predicted, nothing the central governments' printing presses couldn't handle. Okay, so here's proof that God has an enormous sense of humor--Surfer Mike is now chillin' in Silicon Valley and I got to tell y'all that there are some very far out dudes in this neck of the woods. Prime example being a placed called Fry's Electronics in Palo Alto which is essentially Vatican City for all things computer. Popped in the other day to grab some software and observed a near riot among super geeks hotly debating the merits of disk drives in Aisle 12. Didn't catch the whole drift but apparently the Skuzzy (sp?) clan are the Protestants and the ID (sp?) contingent are the Catholics. This was at lunch hour and it seemed like everybody but the Surfer was wearing little neck tags cuz they work in Very Frigging High Security Places and were not bowled over with my "We don't need no steenking badges" attempt at humor. The Intel and Silicon Graphics guys said Skuzzy was the only way to travel, but the HP and Advanced Micro Devices fellas thought their ID was way cooler and none of them was very impressed with my effort to find an After Dark screen saver. Go figure. Been spending a little too much time in airplanes to stay up with all the posts and plugging my laptop into the little phone jack thingie on the seat in front of me only resulted in a severe reprimand from the otherwise lovely stewardess--terrific conversation opener though. Looks like the Mighty Q blew the doors off with that last report, and I must confess that linking up with the Evil Empire in Redmond caused my heart to go pitty-pat. Ericsson's denial of the significance was just pathetic. I know Ramsey's getting itchy reading through this War and Peace post so I'll give it a rest. Surfer Mike
