wow Dan im moved by those words in a serious way! I reassure you nothing is lost, it's only transformed... Opportunity cost and an open mind for alternatives and opportunities is what I like in this new life away from the computer...
Dan, You're one of the best and really wished I could write like you! I'll do you proud hopefully with a book on TAOO - and let the reader imagine! I think the idea is still ahead of its time though some might say it's been there since the beginning of computing! But I have a science fiction book I started writing and left unatended too long... I'll surely miss revland! But it's not the only way to serenity! It sure was a great way. I just realized I had other revolutions I wasn't tending to ;) Cheers Xavier http://monsieurx.com > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Dan Shafer > Sent: Friday, 24 February, 2006 21:21 > To: How to use Revolution > Subject: Re: So long and thanks for all the stacks... > > I have long been a supporter and fan of Xavier's.
