Just out of curiosity, what do you do for a living where you have money and time to be that much on-line?

I've got a plan for a new entry in mind Jake. I just have to organise my time to do the research and get it written. I've been over to Peer Review and it definitely looks more like a mall than a mausoleum now. Much more inviting!
Oh, last day of your holiday Orcus - that's so sad. Last day of mine was Tuesday. I've got Windows 3.11 on my computer at work and the only excuse for an ISP on it, is CompuServe. I tried to get on to h2g2 (sign of a true addict I fear) this afternoon, using that clunky old hulk and just got a bunch of error messages followed by the usual big one: "this program had performed an illegal function" (or something like that) "and will be closed down". Doh! I think it's a plot by my employers to get some work out of me.

Keep up the sympathy Sal, I've spent most of the day writing my new article, nearly finished now, but phew, hard work 
I'll have to scour the guide for links to put into it soon. Look out for it on Peer Review soon

Hello,
Well, it's become much more busy in Peer Review, which is a great thing. Unfortunately, I've become a bit more busy myself with work this week, so I can't keep up. Still, I'd rather be playing catch-up than looking at the same few entries over and over. Thanks guys!
Yours,
Jake

I dunno, when I clck on the "Who's Online" button, there seem to be the same number of researchers online as I remember it being pre-Auntie. Maybe even more, sometimes.
