I could just see a group of engineers standing before a 1940's computer with
bank upon bank of vacuum tubes , a labrith of wire and covering an area the
size of a basketball court and one saying something foolish like " Gee,
wouldn't it be great to have one of these in my house?" to coin a new term ,
Shall we think outside of the box? at the pace of technology we will do
things in 10 years that are unthinkable today , maybe even tolerate others
or give someone credit for their hard earned efforts. Nah , probably not but
i bet dimes to donuts that we'll never lose another package in the mail or
maybe the Cubs will win the pennant. have a fine weekend everyone. Mark &
