Well, my heart ran to irregular (bigeminy pattern) at 60 and even 70. He says my heart muscle is good, that I can take it. And yes, I sleep just fine.

80 BPM is what my Cardiologist set for my pacemaker minimum. It's some cool hardware - A Medtronic ADDR01 model. Much better than my older rate in the 30's. The doctor was amazed that I was alert and talking with a pulse rate of 30. But, I'm an old geek - from my normal coding state, it's a step up to reach lethargic.

The Internet won't die. Internet sites will die. AT&T's 3G network will certainly die. For instance, on 9/11, CNN had to drop to a text only site. They survived that way when their graphical version died like a slashdotted site. But, on 9/11, sites unrelated to news were still readily available. Amazon was still up, TV Guide was up, Travelocity was up. Yes, the bureaucrats at GAO are 1d10ts. They need to crawl back into their hole. This sounds like some document pre-written by AT&T.

Developers are also near Dallas, TX. www.aa.com is hosted there. But the servers are in Tulsa.

The IT branch spun off by American Airlines, which outsourced operations to EDS (which was bought by HP). Through a few layers of gateways, Travelocity is in the same room (albeit huge) as the TPF system. They can cluster up to seven of the fastest mainframes to run as a unit with TPF, and have set records for real-time transactions per minute. All this in Tulsa, OK.

Been married for 31 years. Let me specify: Access to another person's vagina is not simple, unless you are a gynecologist. Then you get paid for it but you aren't supposed to enjoy it. Then you are back to my theory.

A vagina is simple. Access is not.

They do have fantasy reality shows - the original ones, that is. Pro Wrestling.

Using green on black also helps to warp your brain to where you will think like old-style programmers. I've used several: Blue on light blue (C64 style), gold on black, purple on a pale blue, and more. You want some contrast, but not too much. And, chose colors that fit your personality. I remember someone who loved the "hot dog stand" colors in Windows 3.1!
