          Salmon is party a bio about Douglas, mostly told through his own words in the form of interviews and articles. The second part is an unfinished story. I've read the first part, which I thought was pretty great as I really didn't know much about Douglas. I haven't gotten to the second part yet. --Mike-- "So where does that leave us?

            Douglas Adams swore by his Macs. He also swore at them frequently, but still, he loved them. Anyone else read Salmon of Doubt?

                              Is it worth bumping its priority? Depends what else is before it in the queue. If you are a huge fan, then read it. If you are not a huge fan, put it down to read sometime and enjoy it for what it is.

Well, now that Microsoft has dropped IE for the Mac I figure quite a few people that would not have owned one before will have to now if they build web sites. Was already a pain to figure if a font would look good on a Mac without having one, but figured if there was not a lot of screaming it must. Now MS, has really made it hard since you cannot just say use IE. I am glad to the ones are out since maybe some of the old makes will finally drop to the price of a beefed up new PC ;) Rocky Moore <><
