hello tweets

i wrote a message to the entire tweeters list and instead it ended
up in one person's private email box. dang, i hate it when i say
something valuable and through a simple error on my part, my brilliance
is not seen and appreciated by one and all.

as i had said, thayer's birding software is not designed to be used
on a mac, or at least the earlier versions were not. this means that
the three tweeters subscribers who use a mac will be sorely disappointed
when they find a gift under the tree, unwrap the paper to discover
their hearts' desire: thayer birding software! after they find that it is
not "mac happy" software, they will cry big alligator tears, knowing
that the nearest PC store is CLOSED ON CHRISTMAS so they can't go out
to buy a PC to run the software!

sorta like buying a kid a battery-run toy but no batteries. such
exquisite agony, dare we repeat it in our adult lives?
