Yesterday two things happened:
1.    In entering my Conus from Cook Islands into my computer, I noted
for the first time, in spite of looking at the photos several times
before that one Conus pulicarius had three tentacle pedestals, each with
a tentacle and eye.  Never saw this before, so quite amazed as I am not
usually finding freak shells.

2.    In installing a new Zazz drive, my computer failed after the
opening screen allowing no hint as to why other than varied messages
concerning fatal error exception 0E or 0D or other exception.  Done for
the day.  Also hadn't backed up my work (complete except final editing
on October IHSN).

Today shifted things to the old computer & couldn't get Email.  As I had
replugged everything into the new (March 99) computer, I tried that
again & it came up ok and Email worked.  Immediately did some additional
backup.
