ATM Odds and Ends

[Anthony Stillman <atmer@flash.net>]

I recently returned from two weeks out of town.  I didn't take a computer
or a modem, so I've spent the last several hours going over the half ton of
e-mail that was waiting for me.  To my friends on the list, please forgive
my delayed responses.

I answered a few post just prior to leaving and then, off and on for the
last two weeks, sweated the mistakes I made.  I really have to watch these
pre-dawn posts of mine.   A couple of mea culpa s will follow shortly.

I spent some time working on two different ATM software projects.  Assuming
Hale's ghost continues to rest peacefully, I'll deliver them both forth
with.

While in flight I re-read "The  Perfect Machine" by Ronald Florence, well
most of it.  What a difference a half decade makes.  I'm molding a post and
trying to keep it ATM relevant, on this as well.

Finally, once again I have been bemused by airport security. Though
certainly, it is no longer comic.  I was fearful that the days of carry on
travel scopes were numbered,  but not so.  And I must add, I thank g-d for
statistics and the good will of the majority of humans.
