Good morning crew,

Another Monday, another snow storm. But only 4 to 8 inches this time. That's barely a dusting. Just enough to turn the commute home tonight from 25 minutes to 45 minutes. Well, at least it didn't snow over the weekend, when I spent 95 percent of my time indoors. It waited until the work week when I actually have to get out in the world.

Thanks global warming.

Laugh it up,

Joe

New to town, I was eager to meet people and make friends. So one day I struck up a conversation with the only other woman in the gym. Pointing to two men playing racquetball in a nearby court, I said to her, "There's my husband." Then I added, "The thin one--not the fat one."

After a slightly uncomfortable silence she replied, "And that's my husband - the fat one."

The start of the new school term always brings out the most interesting questions for computer consultants on campus. The predominant questions this term pertain to "getting into" E-mail and how to access the "Information Highway".

An obviously distraught student came into the consulting office yesterday complaining that his E-mail wasn't working; his attempts to get tickets for an on-campus concert kept resulting in returned mail.

He showed me the mail address he was attempting to reach--I asked him where he obtained such an unusual mail address.

He replied, "The sign told me, 'begins@7:30P.M.'"
