goodies for free, then how is a semi-honest wizard to make a living? ("...
The better to commune with the infinite," as the "little man" in the wagon
pattered, early in the film of _The Wonderful Wizard of Oz._)

keeps 'em guessing on these new "WWW" interfaces. (An esteemed, highly
accomplished European-émigré co-worker once said, and he knew whereof he
spoke: "You can never have too many bank accounts, or too many passports."
Not the same immigrant I cited earlier on another newsgroup who said " ...
vreedom will zeeeease to exist," but another, from not far away.)
