I wanted to wish all American readers of this list a very happy
Thanksgiving Day from a reader in Canada. Reading 'Classic Computing'
still plays an important part in my appreciation of the role of
computers from earlier years in why I still enjoy working with
computers. Happy computing. Murray :)

Murry, I'm sorry that we forgot to pre-empt your wishes on October 9. I
did wish some of my Canadian friends happy returns for the day then,
however.
I'm a bit giddy right now--the pies are done, the other dishes are
cooked and tastes and the bird's in the oven. Short of the dog getting
into the feast, I think I'm home free. (You can tell who does the
cooking in our house).
I imagine that some have already hit the stores and others are settling
down for an evening of football...

I've ever had. And all my computer work (document editing) was local. All
good! -- Ian

They seriously call them 'pubs' in Venezuela?? ;-)
(Among many other things, I'm also thankful to live in a place where the
odd power outage is unexpected, and may even constitute a special occasion.)
