     When the Information Superhighway slows to a crawl or stops, you are

     experiencing "BYTELOCK!" I coined the word on 17 July 1997. Please use

     BYTELOCK,but DO cite the source. I would like to get into the
     dictionary.

              Dear Kevin,

              I no longer work for anyone. I'm a "Gentleman Of Leisure",
              which sounds

              better than "Destitute Playboy" or "Bum." I chaired ALBACON 96
              & helping

              with this year's con. Imagine spending a weekend with literate
              folk. The

              mind boggles.

              Hmm, we do have a science programming. Give Chuck Rothman a few
              bits &

              bytes. Maybe you'd like to attend as a program participant. It
              might not

              be too late.

              Ciao & teggeddizzi! May the Ghreat Wombat smile on you!
