Again this month I went to the mountain to receive the saged meditations of Shopper. And again I screwed my courage to the sticking place, and vowed severe studiousness. And yet again I was betrayed, stabbed in the back. The expected article by Arlan Levitan in Trends & Technology I had been prepared for. So what did I find instead? There on page 203 yet another article by the same author. Not even the newly complete table of contents gave a warning. I'll admit that I lost control by the end of the second paragraph of the "IBM and Apple" article. And, yes, tears were flowing by the time I reached "…the M word…" Alright, I was rolling on the floor with the "…post-event cleanup…detritus…" BUT I had it together in record time after completing the article; and, after straightening the room, I was able to venture forward. That is until that second article. Please editors, warn us. I'd heard of a back-hand, but never a left-handed thumb screw (see page 207). I'm certain that the ED disk was concealing the true occupant of the device. We'd all like to turn the nut until those who would squander the resources of the industry turned really BLUE. So I ask you, "Is it legal that the levity of the Levitan leviathan lurks so lasciviously in our tome?" Can't wait till next month. Read action !t
