Maha,

Me too. If you’re going to make me watch a video to make your point, there better be something far more compelling about the video than the text version of it. Let me skim! Give me random access! You’re video isn’t the boss of me!

But I’ve assumed that that’s just me be being a an old man. So it’s especially fascinating to read what you’ve written, not to mention to see you making more of that nugget than there was in it originally.

BTW, last year I got myself a clackety keyboard that imitates the old IBM Selectric that was the pinnacle of electrics; I was just a grad student and couldn’t accord a Selectric (I had an IBM model C), but I’d used them. Fantastic. But it turns out that now it’s just too clackety. So, I’m back on a low-throw Apple-y keyboard. I guess I’m just not that nostalgic.
