<gin> I guarantee you Tom, the day will come when you will be shaking
your head at the screen and saying, "I can't *believe* this guy forgot
to close his Table tags! How could anybody not understand a basic
thing like that!" :)
Three years ago, I had to be *forced* on to the Internet. Even after
twenty years in computers, there was so much hype about the Net that
I was scared I couldn't handle it. There are still a lot of things
I'm only beginning to catch onto now.
But I caught myself muttering the other day over some stupid email I
had gotten (someone had complained to an email-cc'd-to-thousands by
yelling back to *everybody* who had been cc'd!) muttering about
"clueless newbies". And I had to stop and laugh. Three years ago,
almost to the day, I *were* one! :)
