There are a few things I would like to make clear. I think the note at
the end of this message is too harsh, to the point of being rude.
I do not endorse this kind of talk, nor does Moe or anyone else speak for me.

However, I do not think it is right for a state to impose "standards" such as
those to which he refers. I agree that the State of Massachusetts should not
only "allow" Macintosh computers, but they should also consider how to
encourage or at least better incorporate more of them or to take advantage of
this superior technology.

I have added to this message notes from various people (all included in
address field above) and some other useful information and addresses for the
people of our great state to look at.

I added the letter from Moe at the end of all this.

several times if you rinse it well after use with alcohol. You may be able to
get a syringe from a drugstore, your doctor, a vetrinarian, or a blunt
