Dear Friends:
 
        Concerning the 55 mph speed limit, I can't say 
whether I'm for or against it.  You see, I own an old
1966 Chevy without a speedometer, so I never really know
how fast I am going.
        After I took my first Computer Science  course
I learned that "the future belongs to the digital techno-
logy" and I was determined to start looking to the future,

first it was sort of awkward, backing the car out of
the garage and pulling out of parking spaces, what with
the "ON" button giving me an immediate, tire-screeching
response all the time and with the "OFF" button  locking
the brakes, but I soon got used to it.  Progress is that
way, you know.
