Shoot...sounds like I may be working in the same office. I have to downplay
the Newt at work. If our IT person found out it is web-server capable, and
now (thanks to Steve W.) VNC capable, the hammer would come down HARD. Right
now it's just an electronic calendar...you know, with 5 year old technology,
shhhh.... ;-) In fact, the IT person assumed that Win2000 Pro would totally
disable me, maybe next time. =8^b
Good cartoon, however, it doesn't hit home per the Newt though, sorry. The
wife considers me using it as a personal victory, it's the first Apple
product I've owned. Now that I'm a convert, I can play with it as much as I
want. She used to complain when I stayed up late building or tweaking pc's,
but now it's ok to stay up late together reading email or books on our
respective Newts....as long as we beam with each other once in a while -
after all beaming can be romantic!

I just showed it my wife and she said, "Humph, I'm gonna kick YOUR ass!"
She's a Newton user too. She can't beat me up too badly though, I just
brought a laser printer to her office today just for her newton. (the IT
nazi's have appletalk turned off on the office Lexmark. I don't dare tinker
with it for fear of her dealing with the fallout of unauthorized technology
enablement for the purposes of unauthorized productivity enhancement on an
unauthorized OS brought onto the premises without authorization. Heck if
they knew how efficient she was with her MP, they probably have to form an
IT nazi task force for the purposes of re-defining corporate policy
regarding employees using their own property to manage information in
non-uniform manners.)
So in any case, I think she still loves me. :)
