Richard Huff (rhuff@pacificrim.net) asks Ruth:
I could sure do with a nice, tall mocha from StarBucks right now. Do you think all this caffeine will catch up to me some day? If so, is there any way to outrun it?
Ruth Ruth replies:
Richard honey, if I worried about every cup of coffee I drank, I'd be a gibbering idiot. Look at me. I drink three cups a day, and it hasn't done me any harm, has it? Well, has it?

Listen, as long as it keeps you working late into the night and making lots of money at your computer job, then perhaps you might like to come over next Saturday for dinner. My niece Heidi will be over. She's a very nice girl. You'd like her. She drinks coffee.

"Gizzmo" asks Kelsey:
My nose is shaped just like '@'. Is it dangerous to sneeze?
Kelsey Kelsey answers:
That's really gross! Sneezing is the least of your problems. I've heard of someone's nose adding character, but never being a character. My advice is to avoid the Internet. You may be mistaken for an e-mail address. Plus I would see a good plastic surgeon. Or a fontographer.

AuntieB asks Alphonzo:
Does it really take up more memory in amipro to use save as rather than create a style sheet?
Alphonzo Alphonzo answers:
I am allergic to computers. I break out in little red spots all over my back whenever I'm near a keyboard. Just reading about that guy with the nose shaped like '@' gave me a rash! So don't ask me about computers!

How do I meet guys?
Kelsey Kelsey answers:
You could start by being a little more assertive.
