The internet has changed a lot of the cost associated with
communication. In fido, there used to be complicated set ups for
exchanging the mail -- including such things as taking account of the
fact that it was cheaper to call across state lines than out of area
within the state. These days it costs no more (i.e. 0 marginal cost)
for me to call up the street or across the country to California, thanks
to having my house phone bundled in with my internet (at a smaller cost
than when it was a copper line).


I do not understand the use of the word "reserved" in the recipe below.

Hi Michael,

To some people, flights of uncontrollable rage
are also normal; doesn't mean one should give
in to them, though.

No, definately not.

Point being that there are a bunch of things
that are normal that it's our duty to suppress.
It's pretty much all that distinguishes us from
lower animals, if anything does.

We have the ability to reason, not that all people stop to do so before
doing something untoward.

It would be interesting (and a shame) if there
had been any disparity in attitude or treatment.

True, and some have been reunited now thru F'book and e-mail. I'm not on
the former but do use the latter. Haven't come across any long lost
friends thru e-mail tho.

A lot of it still is junk but some has improved. Your glasses lenses are probably plastic which makes them much lighter than the old glass ones.
Lap tops are also lighter; I remember the 386 Steve had as his first
one. That was quite heavy but my current Inspirion weighs much less. You
get the drift...................

Don't know but you've probably heard the saying "You've got to eat a
