I've been playing with the notion of writing a plugin for Firefox or Chrome that tracks the size of emails I'm writing in tweets (SMS 160-character units) and slowly changes my screen background from white via various shades of pink and salmon to a very angry shade of red as the tweet-count increases, in order to curb my habit of putting every thought I have on a topic into every communication. :) I'm bracing myself to encounter widespread encouragement from those who have read my prior posts to this list or have the misfortune of being in my address book. ;) Ralph _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
