With the advent of digital data (you know the zeros and ones), we have essentially perfected the ability to make copies. The days when each copy of a copy was worse than the copy before are now over. They're all perfect. This fact makes Hollywood and the music industry crazy. Remember Napster (may it rest in peace)?
The problem is that perfect copies are just too easy to make. ... (read more)

The Art of Writing E-mail, Part I24 October 2002
The art of writing e-mail is this week's topic. This will be the first of a three-parter, which will run over then next few months, unless of course I run out of things to say about this before I finish part three.
