my miiind (will be slow to answer mail in next few days)»My desktop machine's motherboard is finally giving up the ghost (in a staccato, clattering, stutters to halt every half-hour death rattle kind of way). Its chief function is mail-wrangling. Without it I'm left to stare rather bemusedly at 2000 and counting mail messages a day.
The upshot of this is, I'm not going to be very good at answering mail for the next few days. Stick "OBHURRY!" in the subject line and I'll spot you, though.
(Or you could IM me, which is what all the hip kids who have abandoned mail are doing. Rats! Rats leaving the ship!)
