First post from the new laptop!

I have no idea whose network I'm on, but someone around here has an unsecured network. So I'm sitting on my bed to make this post (the outlet in the bedroom was the only one not completely in use which would allow a three-prong plug).

I'm not going to stay connected for long - especially since I do have the desktop on in the living room - but I just wanted to lose my laptop virginity. ;) (And get used to this keyboard... I have no idea where the insert, delete, home and end keys are, and I use them a lot when I go back to correct typos...)

And make Terry Fong even more jealous if he's reading this... which I doubt. But when I got home from work and returned the message he'd left on my machine, I happened to mention it and he boggled that my father would have given me such a gift. So to play fair I had to admit that I am susceptible to hypnotism. (Which I am... I once went on stage at one of Mike Mandel's shows.) But then we had a giggle over the idea of using Jedi mind tricks on people at Anticipation to make them buy at-the-door memberships for friends who aren't present...

Anyway, back to the other computer for now.
