	Reminds me of the days before e-mail, when I had to move to
a new continent and thought my life would be just about perfect if only
both me and my best friend could convince our parents to buy us... fax
machines. Of course that never happened, and as a result I now have a
rather large stash of regular old paper notebooks filled with writing
by my friend. She has similar artifacts filled by me. Sometimes
the old ways ARE best.

	Yeah, I find that visiting web pages that are too "kewl" these
days usually necessitates a quick kill -9 to my netscape before the 
gerbils keel over.
