Well that is entirely up to you! Why bother with all those messy lines,
you would have your own satellite (with servers on board for upload)
positioned right above you and whatever....

It is and it is not, depends on how you want to think of it. You PCers
and other fans of multi-buttoned mice can think of it as having over 100
keys, others can think of it as having just one button or indeed as
being buttonless. Look, Jonathan, I can't send out an official
prospectus at this moment in time, but stop hesitating so...

I'm sincerely sorry to see this. I didn't think a third request inside of
four months (to follow commonly accepted netiquette) would cause such a
violent reaction. Now another usenetter has departed, taking his useful
contributions with him.

Maybe usenet has become so barren that I've become the biggest jerk left
here. :-(
