You all know that when something "technical" comes up on-list
-- no matter how off-topic it seems to be, I usually put my $0.02
on the subject. Not to step on Murray's toes (I always enjoy
reading his "technical" posts (and, yes Murray, they finally have
a Mac version of Opera! ;-) )) but I thought I would throw in my
"$nickel.98" on this very important topic.
Please, Please, PLEASE ... save one or more of the following
URLs in your bookmarks. And, if you get sent an unsolicited e-
mail from someone who is making a claim that even remotely smells
fishy, please check it out before forwarding it to everyone you
know and every mailing list you belong to. Chances are, ...
well, whatever -- here's my list of bookmarks on this topic:

Well, I'm in the process of trying to find 270+ e-mail mes-
sages that Juno lost, working on a new course to teach for my
company, and getting ready to attend a concert tonight. So, in-
stead of one of my normal, mammoth posts, I'll leave it at this
and close with an old tag line: May you always grok in fullness
