Re: new Mac Pro
I had a pretty friendly reception in the good 'ole USA. I did feel disturbed, that there was such a difference between the very rich, and very poor. Thank Goodness I am back in Blighty. It is not

Re: new Mac Pro
Would love to visit you & Peter, but alas, I think my tourism days are gone. If I had a seizure on a long haul flight they might have to divert, which would cost millions. No one is going to step up

Re: new Mac Pro

Re: new Mac Pro
Dearest Jude,Not sure when your MRI is coming up, but just want to reassure you, it is totally safe. I'm not so happy about the CT/CAT scans, but I think it is within the level of a radiation worker.

Re: new Mac Pro
Dearest Jude,I was writing up my PhD, probably, about 1998, when this really big hornet flew in. I decided to handle it with a 30 min coffee break. Thank Goodness it was gone after thatJohn
