What's that object to the right of the keyboard, right behind the mouse? White, squarish thing, looks like it's got some kind of display on it.

It's a portable, high-resolution, low-power information storage and retrieval device.

It may take some getting used to.

I actually remember the day one of our professors called me up at work and said, "I read an article about something called the World Wide Web in the New York Times... do you know anything about it?"

My 15 minutes of near fame. I worked at Spyglass in Champaign Illinois just after they licensed the Mosaic source from NCSA. It was an exciting time. The web was just starting to take off.

Then Spyglass licensed the source to Microsoft. Microsoft started giving their browser away, and the browser market disappeared.

Unless they've done a total rewrite on either of them, I have little bits of code in both IE and Outlook. (I also worked at CE software, who licensed the source for their calendar app to Microsoft. And the bottom dropped out of the calendar app market.)

I know it's not all your fault, but, can we blame you?

All the code I wrote was creative, well-crafted, finely engineered, and bullet-proof. In short, yeah go ahead.
