Re b: “ooh… I think actually you need a Mac and a Starbucks coffee.“ RE “could someone direct me to nominations for the Eclectic Reader World Series, by the way?)”
Yo, b – Mister Cartesius, I assume…
You locked a high IQ demographic in your post: operating a Mac at Starbucks, MoveOnOrg, Tibet and “Our Marriage Doesn’t Hurt Your Marriage” badges on your WholeFoods gown, Obama and Free Mumia Jabal-slogganed Prius outside – towering, indeed!
RE cds: “It’s hard to read, because people are constantly asking you what it is, how it works, and where to get one.”
cds, bab’: when you buy a book or whatever contraption like the “kindle”
you don’t do that to rush and sit grinningly in a coffee shop and answer questions regarding it. Unless you’re powered by b’s grasping intelligence.
