Personal message from Dr. T.

[fj834@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Dr. George A. Themelis)]

Hi!  Please excuse the following personal message... I have been away 
from email for a few days and I will keep a low profile for the next 
week or so.  I just checked  email at work and found many messages 
from devoted fans or angry customers that need a reply.  Please remain 
calm and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Here is what happened:  My lovely wife (the one named "3-D spouse of 
the year" by Eric G.) had the fine idea to erase all my files from her 
(work sponsored) computer at home.  When I say all, I mean all 30 
Mbytes of good 3-d information, correspondence, photo-3d digests, 
viewer repair books and flyers, software, email setups and files, 
EVERYTHING is gone!  This was her way of telling me that I should buy 
my own computer... Using bare bones DOS it used to be difficult to 
delete subdirectories upon subdirectories... But with Windows it must 
have been a breeze... even my wife could do it!  I am still crying 
over the loss of these files and only the thought that I might have 
some of them saved in disks keeps me from committing suicide or 
murder... Without email at home and with increased pressure at work, 
I'll take it easy for a while...

One passing thought: The equivalent of not bracketing shots in 
photography is not backing up files in the computer.  Unfortunately, 
I practice both...

After considerable thought I decided that buying a computer is less 
complicated and less expensive than filling for a divorce, so I am 
looking to buy a computer this week.  The problem is that the money 
that you generously donated through my Jan. 30th sale is all gone 
("invested" in Realists and other 3-d toys...).  Thank goodness, in 
the USA you don't need cash to buy stuff, you just need good credit 
(and I still have plenty of that...)  After I get a new computer and 
fast modem, I can upgrade my Freenet account to something that will 
allow www access so I can see the various sites advertised here from 
time to time and perhaps make my own web page one day.

Thank you for your patience and understanding! 

-- George Themelis (temporarily email impaired...)
