Earlier this week an eMail I got from Adobe started replicating itself endlessly and caused a crash: The old Mac is in the hospital reestablishing contact between hard disk and RAM. I might have it back soon after Labor Day: until then, it's lurk and occasionally post from school. I'm gonna see if I can send a personal message or two from here, but if not--and you've been expecting to hear from me, be patient. I will post the directions to Dan Milner's house concert in Davis early next week, for those of you nearby (the concert is Friday night, Sept. 10--he's also on the Balaclutha in San Francisco on Sunday, the 11th, and then in Sacramento for a house concert at Joe Offer's on Monday. (I hope you don't mind my posting that, Joe.) --seed
