A toast to technology- may it be toast!

Greetings,

I just spent an hour writing a wide ranging and thought provoking blog on intonation. Then my computer crashed and blew it away.

May its chip be mated with a hyena.

Grumpy beyond belief,

Buri

or...mad as a wet hen?

There is nothing more frustrating in this world then to spend your resources preparing a document on the computer...only to have it disappear in the blink of an eye and there you sit.

Noooooooo! I'm so sorry to hear that. I usually write the blog on a program called "Notepad" and then paste it in. Because I've learned from unpleasant experience....

That is so frustrating I no... It happened to me and it's even worse when you deleate this essay or quite long little reasearch thing you had to lend to your school teacher the next day.... Then you really want to sit on your computer to crush it in small pieces to set fire to it!

Hope you will still have a nice day,

Anne-Marie

There is another "notepad", made of dead trees. Remarkably useful little item...

Greetings,

much more environmentlly friendly if made of hemp. Then if you don`t like it you can always smoke it..

Cheers,

Your vanished article that shell never be read is the perfect example of the quest for great intonation……yes?

Cheers? D.
