Re: bombax and no I didn't drop off the face of the earth

I thought you were in Texas?!  

Your story reminds me when we had one of our first computers, an 80286. 
 My cat decided it looked like a nice CAT BOX!  Urinated all over the 
keyboard.  I suppose she was trying to tell me something.  Anyway, we 
cleaned it up, took it to the nice folks who sold it to us and gave them 
our dumbest look and said we had no idea why it didn't work.  Somehow 
that cat lived for another 10 years after that.  Must have been divine 
intervention.  My wife was divine when she stopped me from throwing the 
cat out the second story window.
