I had to trash both of my computers at the same time. I spilled a glass of wine on the PC´s keyboard but the cause of the Mac blowing up remains a mystery. Anyway, a new computer is arriving at the end of the month and then things should be back to normal. In the meantime, here´s a word from our sponsor:
“If you ask a fool what space or the sky is, he or she will stick out a finger and point at the sky. But just sticking out your finger like that, pointing at empty space and thinking you are pointing at the sky, is only something a foolwould do.” – Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche, Karma Choling, Summer 1991
