I know what you mean!

And, I gotta tell you, the more Lisp I do, the more the Perl I do for
work just grates on my nerves.  :)  (To be sure, I write reasonably
Lispy Perl, but it's not the same.)

:)  Dunno who said it, but it seems to be true.

I think, though, as technology advances, it may turn into "... until
they can answer the phone/watch TV".  (I base this on the fact that
AOL has added VoIP to their chat client.)  Reading mail is just sooo
last century.  ;)

(Google found me this[1], but I should have suspected it'd be there.)
