Oh mighty tech God, we offer you all our worldly possessions in your honor, save our humble laptop computers and laptop accessories, so that we may continue to post your praises. Please accept these twenty vestal virgins as our thanks. ---

I don’t know if it’s because not many have made it back yet or not, but the hamsters sure seem tanned, rested and ready. ---

Thank you for all your hard work and beautiful intelligence, Jerry. If you want to send me your address, I’ll thank you better with some honest-to-goodness PNW smoked salmon. With handmade card. And chocolates. And marionberry jam. And maybe even a cute little MsScottiBear to sit on your computer…to remind you how much we appreciate you. [sub] you don’t, of course, but isn’t it the thought that counts? :)[/sub] ---

I was sending Jerry vibes of my best tech support skills. Hope he got a good laugh out of them. So what’s the new hamster’s name? Does anyone else get the vaguely creepy feeling that this was somehow linked to a hacker retaliation from [Metatus.com](http://Metatus.com) for any legal threats or actions from The Chicago Reader? ---
