assistant: An associate of mine has a Mac laptop (sorry, but I don't know the
   model number) which he uses to do his job.  He supervises "program
   staff" who work directly with our 'folks' who are dually diagnosed
   adults -- mentally retarded and psychiatrically impaired.  We both
   work for the State of New York.  A PCMCIA modem would be a boon to
   him and our severely handicapped folks would get most of the benefit.
   Did I make the finals?  I am perfectly willing to substantiate
   everything I've said.  I'm reasonably well known on ILink and RIME
   but I post on Fido only occasionally.
