Month: February 2002

I only have 15 minutes of web access, so pay attention.

• Everything sounds better in French. Yesterday I watched an all-time personal record of seven (!) minutes of “Sleepless in Seattle” simply because it featured Tom Hanks speaking in French. Also, I love that the exit signs (which are red, by the way) read “Sortie”.
• Somebody won the superbowl. I’m pretty sure it was a team. Hooray for them and everyone who bet on them.
• If you like puzzles and/or food, please take a moment to read the recap of my 2001 Treasure Hunt.

I must go.

I’m off to Montreal for a week, so depending on my web-access you can expect to see (a) no postings whatsoever, or (b) long, rambling screeds with titles like “Holy Frijoles, Am I Ever Cold” and “Misery At Minus Ten Degrees”.

You are required to play minigolf until my return.

Greetings from Canada,
Wish I Were Warm!

Saw your Compaq link to “Any Key” FAQ. To add to that we once received a shipment of cases that had your standard set of stickers for the back of the computer(serial, printer, monitor mouse etc) and in amongst those stickers was an Any Key sticker to put on the keyboard. Originally we thought it was just a joke but we wisely saved them for use on computers being purchased by the customers we deemed most likely to call with that question.

I think it would be fun to put a sticker on one of the keys that said “Delete All Files”.
