on borrowed tech

Some of you may not know this of me but I am an email fiend. I blame it on my IBM days when I used to be "popular" and received hundreds of emails. Perhaps some of them were junk, spam, meeting notices, but I have discovered that I love getting the emails. I can still recall coming back from vacations and discovering close to 1000s emails received during my absence and plowing through them in a day or two. And, this is not just automatically deleting, this is opening, reading, assessing and then deleting. So, needless to say, I've got email junkie in my blood. These days, my mail is pretty boring. My snail mail has picked up though and often I get catalogs, junk mail, bills and the occasional "real" letter, but I do get mail everyday now. Instead, there are days when I will get ZERO email. OK - this might be seems like a sneaky way to get more email ( and maybe it is), but really this blog entry started out as a "did you know?". I check email probably everytime I walk by the computer. I have parked my laptop in almost every room of the house now.

Now you know this of me...
