Russell, Don, Tweeters --

The world of free-loaders trying to get something for nothing
extends into various areas of art. I used to do freelance
computer programming in the Seattle area. You would be (perhaps!)
surprised to know how many people were wanting me to help them
with some aspect of computers -- programming, broken printers,
weird op sys stuff -- just for a few minutes, for problems that
could be fixed *Real Soon Now* -- their predicted / requested /
hoped for (sometimes implicitly, but only sometimes) **COST** ??

Well, as I said, you would only *perhaps* be surprised.
