Sixteen years ago I had a pda. Not one of those nifty Palm devices or expensive Psion's. No, a regular organizer; a little electronic device with a whopping 128KB of storage which you could fold shut like a litte book. Opened, it provided a nice little qwerty-keyboard and about 4 …

Stress! The confusion created when the mind has to override the body's desire to choke the living daylights out of some idiot who desperately deserves it... (Also, I'm fine, thanks for asking! Just busy and not using my own computers that much...)
