Oh, I was! <g> But you know what? Not having access to the net when

you're working on things which need research is the pits. I have all my

reference books, but the problem is, instead of looking up a single fact,

I get distracted and start re-reading the books because they remind me of

this or that, or the other thing that I'm also interested in!

Boy, how did we ever do research before the net?

It really makes you wonder.

And things definitely took a lot longer (in multiples of time) to find out.

LOL! Unlike the way we use the net - never get distracted there by anything!

In one sense, point. In another sense... I can't carry my desktop back in

the bedroom to stretch out while reading. THerefore, if I get started

reading this, and that, and the other thing, I do not have the email

chime to remind me that I'm supposed to be answering something.
