AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! NOOOOOOO!!!!!

Boy, that was quick.

I was just getting used to the idea of having a computer again, figuring I had at least a couple of days to enjoy life. And then WHAM! Right before we leave for a piano lesson, the phone rings. I'm powdering my nose (metaphorically -- look, I may be a hothead, but I have occasional moments of delicacy, okay?), and I hear my son yell, "Hey! It's APPLE calling!"

Oh, man.

My husband's now waiting with bated breath to grab my little woogum and drag it off to the scary place, but I told him I need to generate a random number first. We have, let's see...nine contestants. Okay. Hang on just a second.

Okay, okay, I'm hurrying! Sheesh.

And it's --

Michele, Mom of 8!

I am the worst person in the world to do this kind of thing, because immediately I start feeling really bad for everyone else. But I did get some other Darwin stuff from various publishers, so I'd like to have another giveaway when Sofonisba comes back from the shop. Kind of a celebration.

(What -- you guys don't name your computers? I'm the only one? Huh.)

Anyway: Michele -- email your mailing address to:

Deborah @ 2ds dot org

See you all when I get back to the electronic planet...

Congrats to Michele and, um, name my computer. My old Dell (now belonging to my son) is named Kitty.

I haven't named my new reward-for-flying-halfway-around-the-world-despite-my-fear-of-flying laptop yet.

Hmmm...

Well, keep us posted on Sofonisba's status. AND I can't wait for issue 8.

Yes, yes, I know 7 JUST arrived. But I'm ready for the next one! :-D

Deb, love it, again. I love the way you think (just like me) and I love the way you write (OK, not like me, but I can always aspire, can't I?)... I haven't named my mac pro book, because I am afraid to get attached to it. Um, I will think on it. If you want to offer some suggestions, do it on my facebook page and I will make an appropriate ceremony of it.

suggestions for further articles... how about the one right now on CHN about manners....??
