bag containing a laptop isn't an action that seems good for security
control.

Merry Christmas, but be careful if you are crossing international
borders

Not a surprise, considering the country involved.
At first guessed US or UK, they would be the only others (short of
crackpot dictatorships) mental enough to pull a stunt like this.

you mean:
http://zws.com/ Lewin Edwards ?

I recall when I wrote Lewin a letter of recommendation from Dontronics,
to potential US employers on the 19th January 1999, as he had completed
some work for me.

He has come a long way since then!

Me, I just got older
(and rounder) (Shorter?)

The other Edwards ended up in the loony bin, quite literally, at least twice.

It's not my fault you live your life in a silk-lined tunnel, holding
the trapdoor closed with your two front legs and waiting for prey to
walk by. Still connected to Fidonet?

I can't remember being young. I think I was born old.
I can't remember being single.

My dad said there was 3 signs of old age, but I can't remember any of
them either.

Carefree. I'm almost there now.


Cheers Don...

You don't need to remember things these days. There's always wikipedia

Rod was one of the reasons that zone 3 fidonet collapsed when it did,
although it was on borrowed time given the increasing popularity of the
internet.
