BTW, there is a moment in the April 7 clip in which you can catch a glimpse of my house. It's 56 seconds into the clip, as Claudine walks back into the rest- aurant from the terrace. The camera zooms out and shows that Le Micocoulier is perched on the olde 10th-12th century city walls. The house immediately to the left of the restaurant itself is mine. I've got my WiFi router set up in the window there so that I can sit in the outdoor terrace of the restau- rant and still go Netsurfing. Also, playing with some of the links on Bill's site, this morning I discovered http://www.couchsurfing.com/ It's a really fascinating concept, although possibly a bit too "young" for many people on this forum. The idea was to create an online forum for low-budget travelers who wanted to meet people in other cities or other countries, get to know them and the places in which they live, and possibly crash on their couch for the evening. Obviously, Bill himself has been taking advantage of this network of world travelers. I think that's neat. What a fascinating world the Web hath wrought...
