In defense of Martyn, after all the talk about long distances, lack of vacation, and who flames who all to hell . . . . It's a lot of work to put these things together, and you can't please everybody. For me, it's all summed up in one moment . . . Bugger the telephone, the bank, the tax man, and even my clients who couldn't even format a floppy if it were the only thing that would rescue them from the bowels of hell. .
