Timely story for me Peter.

My Dad and his best childhood friend got married about the same time. Luckily, both wives hit it off too. They all became the best of friends. They each had a boychild about 3 months apart (one was me) and oddly enough...they became best childhood friends. Mark and I went separate paths, but still remain close. His Mom, Margaret, is the last one of our parents left and she has always treated me as a son. For Christmas, Mark got her a computer before going back to DC. I took a day and went back home and got her fixed up on the net and within three weeks, she is cooking right along. She's found several groups already and Saturday sent me a long e-mail asking a few questions. So I picked up the phone and called her. Her first question on the phone was, "Why aren't you using the e-mail?" Cracked me up!!! "Pat, I always love talking to you, but I'm having so much fun with the computer." So we talked for 25 minutes and then I sent her a long e-mail.
