Once you realize the computer’s vast memory capacity and learn how to title and use it, all of a sudden things get lots easier. Then you discover e-mail, a nice, easy way to contact others in a flash who are equipped with the same capability and get instant answers [well, sometimes, anyway]. Then you discover that the person might be thousands of miles away. Yet, you got there with no long- distance charges, no operators, no tolls, no stoplights. All of a sudden, you realize you are on to a good thing here. This first flush of delight is just the beginning.
