apologies

Rumor has it that Jay West may have mentioned these words: I haven't tried... I *know* my arms won't reach from yooperland... ;-) No need to apologize, for sure! I just went through a week of the same stuff, diddling a database for a friend of a friend... Have you ever met Mr. Winwood? My wife would be all a-twitter if I told her I know a guy that met him... ;-) =-=-=-= On a related note, back in the early days of my learning about this interweb thingy, I was sent down to Duh-troit for a week of "training" --> well, these folks were great at their jobs of setting up & hosting websites, but they really weren't cut out for the education jazz. Anyway, one of the websites they hosted was Thomas Dolby's -- he was an "early adopter" of the 'net; his website couldn't truly be appreciated unless you had high bandwidth - (read: at least fractional T1; and a pretty fair fraction at that[1]) and the guy who was "educating" me took a call one day from Mr. Dolby himself -- as I sat right next to him. Believe you me, Bubba: Looking back, it was rather anticlimactic -- hearing the speakerfone: "Andy... Mr. Dolby on line 2 for you." and then 20 minutes of "Yea... Neat... We could try that... How about this... That would take some time..." whilst I had nothing to do but watch him click fervently at the website's links and get the short end of a 1-sided conversation. But at the time, it was kinda neat... (This was *almost* 10 years ago, but the machines we worked on at the time are all over 10 years old now... Yea, lame attempt, but it's a Saturday morning and I'm at work...)
