You can't tell. There's no way to send a "snapshot" of the ROM of this SE
to PROVE this email is actually coming from an SE. But, on my honor, and to
my never-ending satisfaction, it is. 

And in the spirit of what makes us all more than we can be when it's called
for, this old Mac, rescued from a parking lot after weathering nearly a
year in the high desert extremities, is sitting here on my kitchen table
pulling and pushing email over the vast distance that separates us all.

Joining us all by a common thread. From a computer no one sees as significant
in the stream of machines in time. Doing its given task without faltering.
Maybe it doesn't know any better. I'm glad it doesn't. Maybe there's the
message.

When I'm done sending this message to you all, it gets boxed and sent to a
friend
of the lady who we sent another Compact to. An Ozarks dweller of little means,
so excited by the gift of a computer,she told a friend in Colorado, who THE
NEXT DAY asked the Mac Ranch, (me), to send HER one.

This one's hers. 

She'll get to chatter with her Ozark friend, joined by a line too thin
to see, too strong to sever. By the luck and skill that I've been given,
despite the damaged brain I deal with. Two long-time friends, apart only by
distance,
are "right there" with and for each other.


There's little more that can leave one with a better sense of purpose than this.
No other job I could have ever held brings me this kind of joy and satisfaction.

>From very obviously wrongly discarded computers.


To the lives of two women getting just the right use out of them.


Once Again, Old Macs ROCK. On and On.......
