had to fax some stuff

Sitting here doing settlement on my mum's house long distance with a PC and a scanner...

In the meantime I've been browsing (shallowly) the iTunes store for things to put on my iPod touch.

And found a *free* app that contains all the works of William Shakespeare. Plays. Poems. Sonnets. Everything. In a flash, sent over the tubes and condensers of Teh Intrawebz to this little thing that fits in my pocket.

Young people, please remember in your amusement at my astonishment that I had been out of college and in the job market for at least ten years before anyone (outside DARPA) had email or websites. I used to play Star Trek text-based games on the computer when I was a teenager, but only because my brother in law at the time had access to the Yale University mainframes.

I feel very, very old. And I'm only 45.

I'm 10 years older than you. Yeah, much has changed in terms of data density in our time. I have a 250 GB USB drive that probably represents more computer memory than was available on the entire University of North Texas campus when I was a graduate student.
