Great letter, amych!
The key is marketing the list to all the clubs and lists, not signing people up without their consent.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
OH MY GOD I LOVE HAVING BROADBAND AGAIN!!!
(The Earthlink cable guy has been and gone, and I am all broadbanded up. I can't tell if it's actually faster than my old DSL was, or if it just seems that way because we've been on dial-up for a month.)
Anyway, I have a real question. I'm currently on a PC. My next computer will be a Mac. I installed a 120GB HD (internal) in this machine a while back, and am wondering what the chances are that I can just take it out of the PC and stick it into the Mac when the time comes. Because that would be pretty sweet. (I don't know the exact model offhand, and I'm about to leave the house, but I'll be back later and can look all the specs up.)

All is well that ends in pizza.

Pretty darn good. What version of Windows are you running?
And? Depending on the format your drive is, it might even mount and you don't have to reformat it as Mac.
And? depends on the model of Mac you are getting.
If it's an IDE drive, I'm wondering if your best bet would be to buy an external firewire or USB case to stick the old drive in.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
What kind of Mac? Is there room for a second drive in an iMac?

No. But the external case bit would work.

I bought one of those and converted an extra internal drive. It works well. Was around $70. But I wish it didn't require an external power supply.

It'll be a regular tower, not an iMac, so there should be room for a second drive. Don't know yet if I'll be buying a new G5 or a used G4, but I'll definitely be upgrading to the most recent version of OSX, no matter what it comes with.
It's an ATA drive.
(And it seems I lied about having to go out. Because they'd rather I pick up the tape tomorrow, it seems.)

Yeah, and ATA drive will drop right into a old generation Mac tower. The new G5's use serial ATA though, so you'd have to go external firewire enclosure on those.
