A life?  I think I used to have one, prior to 2000 or 2001.  I actually went on 
a real vacation last week, so some of the memories are coming back...  (A lot 
of people think that giving presentations at SHARE, WAVV, and zSeries Expo is 
the same as going on vacation, but they've never taken me up on my challenge to 
shadow me during those events.)

I'm planning on updating the website a little this week, now that I've caught 
up on some sleep.  Hopefully it won't be quite so "obsolete" when I'm done.  :)

You'd have to ask Marist, but my guesses are:

1) Hysterical Raisins. Some people get off on retro-computing (this from
a person that runs TOPS20 on an emulated KS20 under VMWare on this same
Windows box just to run a *proper* version of Emacs for writing stuff).

2) Marist is out of round-tuits for updating obsolete web pages. Mark
Post may have a similar lack, or he's finally decided to Get a Life(tm).

3) Inertia, leading to entropy. It'll be the death of the universe at
some point.
