I am working on a lengthy shareware program, and would very much like to have it done before mid-August, because I am taking off for Japan for a year and will have to leave my Mac in someone else's care while I am gone. Well, as all programmers know, Murphy was an optomist when he said that whatever can go wrong, will, at the worst possible moment. The account on which I've been posting to comp.sys.mac.programmer is going to be deleted any time now, and I will no longer be able to post news. I already posted once to ask if there isn't some way to post news to comp.sys.mac.programmer through email. Since I've gotten no response, I guess I can gather that there is no known way to do this. So, is there anyone who would be willing to occasionally post a piece of news for me? If not, are there people who would be willing to occasionally receive/answer questions through email, as they are able? I promise not to abuse the favor. Many thanks. --Kurisuto un020070@vaxa.wvnet.edu

According to TIG (The Inspector General) Brief, Murphy was (and is) a real person.
Captain John Murphy, USAF, Ret. Former systems analyst. The original Murphy's
law was:
"In any given system, if you don't plan for failure, you are sure to get it."
And Admiral Hooper didn't invent "bug in the system," she just found one (etymologists
have traced "buggy" back at least 100 years before computers).
