hadn't realized you were gone so long.

Well, it _seemed_ longer...

Pity you weren't here when Jim Cate was asking for opinions (aka
support) on his new Mac toy. You could have told him it was possible to
do a lot of sailing on thin water, a lot faster *and* cheaper than what
he'd just paid.

Oh well. It'll be interesting to see how long he stays in denial.

Cooling down here in Tas. Was a big icicle hanging off the roof
yesterday morning, down to 12C inside. Might have to think about
turning a heater on soon, but that'll be after a couple weeks in
Sydney. Climate there is verging on tolerable now and a friend of mine
has some boats he wants looked at.
