Really-From: nbc@informatics.rutherford.ac.uk Well if we were all rich (like all those Californians!) we could club together to buy Kate a machine, some X.25 software, a PSS line and a subscription to UKnet and then we could all inundate her with email and Love-hounds digests. On second thoughts, perhaps Kate would prefer IED's suggestion of flowers or chocolates. Neil P.S. It's not my birthday but I still would like *someone* to mail me the images of Kate for a Sun. There are others in the UK who would also like them - and I can pass them on.

Hello again--
At Tracey's coaxing for ideas and IED's suggestions for potential
Katemas presents, here's my opinion:
Go for the white roses, full speed ahead. I don't know of any woman
who couldn't resist a big fragrant bouquet of roses. My only other
thought is that, rather than WRAP ivy AROUND the flowers, to just mix
it in with the blooms and let it kind of trail gracefully around....
So, there you have my two cents' worth again. But by all means, let's
do something for Kate...she's been so good to us, it's the least we can
do!
All the best,

I don't know of any woman >who couldn't resist a big fragrant bouquet of roses. Hmmm...I once read a fascinating book, a biography of a British rose grower. (The book was, of course, perfumed. :-) In it, he claimed that men preferred red roses, while women preferred yellow. I don't know whether he's right, so perhaps the best thing is to give an assortment. (Come to think of it, though, since he mentions men, does anyone send anything to Kate's brothers? Not necessarily for Katemas, but it seems to me that they should be appreciated too!) James Jones

Really-From: KROVETZ@cs.umass.EDU I think sending Kate white roses is an excellent idea. I also like the suggestion of including some ivy. Side note to IED: I tried mailing you a message directly, but I don't know if it got through. My check and SASE is in the mail, but it might get to you a day or two late. I had to give a talk at a conference and couldn't afford the time to go to the post office earlier. Please don't send it back unopened! -bob krovetz@cs.umass.edu (internet) krovetz@umass (bitnet)

Hello all--
Upon seeing IED's note regarding the cost of a dozen roses for the
fair Miss Kate, all I have to say is:
IED, if you want further donations to the cause, I do have your home
address, and I would be more than happy to send you a check for $6.50,
if that's what most people are donating.
I only have one request, though....somehow, I would like to see just
what our purchase looks like before it gets sent off to Kate, so if you
manage to get a picture, I'll give you my address so you can send me a
copy??
Thanks much,
