YOU DON'T DO WINDOWS? MEET BOB!
Microsoft's got a new program out for people who find its Windows operating
software too challenging. It's named Bob, and includes a set of eight
programs for handling common computer chores. Bob's interface uses images
of rooms in a home and cartoon-like characters that tell you how to do
things. While Bob currently features comic strip "balloons" to display
textual directions, future versions will interact orally with users. (Wall

At last my copy of Rev-X arrived, and after beating myself around the head
with it a few times I though I'd better get this mailing list stuff sorted
out. I haven't received a single digest of this list in what seems like
_months_ or did I just blink.
