Sorry about the misspelling of your name. Blasted computer keyboard last night shoulda been used for target practice, but what do you expect from a *universally used keyboard*?

"Sorry about the misspelling of your name."
@@@@ I hadn't noticed, Phyllis. :) If it's easier for you, you can call me "Nan".

@@@@ Those University of Wisconsin 'puters must get a lot of use. I know the ones in my library sure do. Hopefully, though, you don't get many pranksters there who think it's the height of hilarity to unscrew the back of the mouse, remove the little ball from inside, and then put the mouse back together again.
It happens way too often in public libraries. On the other hand, it does present the perfect opportunity to ring up the local office supply store and ask the salesclerk (preferably male): "Have you got mouse balls?" :)

It was at a computer lab, not a public library. I have a nasty habit of being kicked out of public libraries (but they have to close, too, you know ;) ). I spoke to someone about the keyboard problem, and he got a bit miffed ("Hey! Someone's stealing my idea! Now I have to think up a new trick for the computers." Wanted to do something drastic to him...) Said something about re-something. Don't quite remember, but you might get a sense (using your psi-chick abilities).
By the way, there was a guy I encountered that I woulda really loved to have asked about mouse balls. Treated him to an etymological lesson on his name, and translated it into three languages. Too bad he lives in Belgium, possibly returning to Russia after his education... Ah, but that's life on campus. They're either married, your professor, visiting, etc.

"Married visiting professor":

"Married, not-visiting professor" logic, 1998. "Not-married, visiting professor" (first name, Father), English composition, 1984. "Not-married, visiting not-professor" Aleksander (musician, concert), 2001 (the gent I translated name for. He's CUTE ;D) "Married, not-visiting not-professor" forensic sciences, 2001. I could go on ad infinitum (especially with a couple of my dance classes), but I won't.

Phyllis should beware of any professor at that university with the name of: "Pedro Moss Ferrari" or "Ferris Pedro Ramos". Because he's a "married professor". ;)
Did you get the file I sent you last night, P.?

The married professor was one I had to Liston to very carefully. I swear he looks about 35 tops, but he was already working on his doctorate in 1968. To perdition it all.

Does he presently work in a forklift factory?

Works in a forklift factory, was studying for his doctorate at the age of 2, stalks people on the 'net, gets pissed on Newkie Brown, and, for his own perverse amusement, tries to cajole people into searching the 'net for the meanings of Klingon names...
Yep, sounds about like our Daividh, all right. ;)

No. He's the head of the philosophy department. We're currently discussing entailment logic and erotetic logic (logic of questions and answers) when we both have time :P. And unless Daividh was born and raised in Ireland, forget it.

Got the monster file Nan, but my 'puter cant open it...gives me error message that file is corrupt (the whole deal is corrupt, if you ask Hid Diva!). Maybe you could truncate the file in 2 or 3 'n' resend it!
