Paging Capt. Illyan...

Damn, damn, damn. I was supposed to be on campus today at 12:30 for a student's Senior Project presentation. Given the bus schedule, there's no way for me to get there before 2:00. I told them to go ahead with the presentation; I'll make my evaluation purely on the basis of the written work.

I need an appointment calendar, or something. Little electronic notes don't do me any good if they're on the other computer.

A prosthetic memory, that's the ticket. Anybody know where Cordelia got the one she gave Simon? (Anybody know of a more realistic alternative?)

Well, you _definitely_ have my admiration for that.

I hate the phone (it doesn't even have a GPS - that I could accept), but it was impossible to get work without it and it does have some sort of security value when one is out hunting or fishing.

Hell would freeze over before I got a microwave oven, dishwashing machine or an answering machine, though.

Mm. I think I'm about to forfeit that admiration: I have all three.

It is a result of a technophobic upbringing. ,-)

Seriously, no one in my immediate family has a microwave oven. Or a dishwasher. My sister has an answering machine I bought for her pre-commanded some christmas, but I doubt she ever listens to messages on it. It is all items I've never learned to appreciate.
