L!!! It took me three months to get this joke, but it was worth the
wait!

Excuse the delay? I managed some dyer yard work this summer. I'm just
 about heeled, now.

Dukabores , et al. Simple, religious communities all of them. Huterites
are much like the Amish, but they always drive the *slickest* pick-up
trucks, grain transports... They also occupy the back row of the
theatre presenting the seediest restricted movie showing a matinee. When
they start to get 'frisky', they are encouraged to 'expose' themselves
to the 'devils work' to test their faith.

Disarray? 

You'll see I'm still running Multi-Mail. I'd rather use BW to this
day, but it *is* refreshing to punch a key, and have a CLI appear from
a sleep, *and* have a functioning rodent riding on sustainable OS.

Maybe I'll dual boot these new(/old) drives with a MS product, but the
only stable one I am finding is DOS. This HD has W'98 on it too, but
KEYBOARD.SYS or some-such is throwing a hissy fit. I've had enough of
that a LONG time ago. If I was more familiar with a drag and click 3-D
CAD on *NIX, I wouldn't even bother with DOS any more. Oh, and the
games and voice recognition would be missed.

Ah well. The world is still turning, so I can't complain too much. I
keep trying, but it never seems to be 'too much'.
