Somebody opened the door...

[Lisa]

Hello, dear colleagues -

I have been having some technological challenges since mid-June and have
not been able to enter into our OSLIST conversation since then.  It's
like looking through the windows and seeing an Open Space happen inside
a marvelous room and not being able to open the doors to come on in -
quite a tease.

Thanks to dear Artur for helping me post a message now and then.

Now that I've returned from facilitating and training trainers for that
workshop in Zambia, Africa, the story of technical difficulties has
continued a bit - a Microsoft 'bug'* - not a virus but something that
acted like one (can you believe it?? Yes you can - it's Microsoft)
disabled my computer and resultingly I lost all my contacts/address
database and all present and saved emails.

As I said to John Engle, I am like a newborn baby - all clean and fresh
without a past and ready to experience life anew - and gee, I guess I
don't have to respond to those 'red-flagged' (priority) emails I was
expecting to come back to - as they don't exist any more.  Having your
computer wiped clean is a great way to eliminate stress - I recommend it
highly.  Very Zen.  That is, if you are like me and let things go easily
that cannot be helped.  Breathing helps.

So: If you were recently (in the past 2 months) corresponding with me
and did not get a reply (somebody asked about Zambia, for instance?
Alexander Schilling, you'd emailed me about Access Queen assistance?) or
if we have shared address/contact information in past for our mutual
ongoing correspondence, please resend me that message and/or your
contact information so I can find you once again.

I appreciate it.

Warmly,

Lisa Heft

*For you English as a second language speakers, a 'bug' in computer
jargon is a little hidden problem in the system (sometimes in the
system's actual original design) that makes everything act all weirdly.
