Dear Spiders,
I've set up a backup Web archive for the Lace chat list:
http://www.mail-archive.com/lace-chat%40arachne.com/. Since Mail-Archive is

because they grew too quickly and had to move to new servers), this should

Hardly "every list"! Believe me, it's only the tip of the iceberg. Many,

They probably mean a drafting pen, sold under brand names like Rapidograph.
It has a reservoir of ink inside and the ink flows down a narrow steel tube.
It makes very precise lines and doesn't smear easily, so it's ideal for
marking prickings. You can find them at any good art supply stoer.

Here's a lace book, presumably from the 60s, that I've never seen before:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2340096725
The seller claims that it shows you "everything you need to know to get started."
Someone should show the cover model, before she freezes to death. Seriously,

You could do a search on R-Reboot at http://www.symantec.com. They have a

Yes, the history is quite accurate, from what I recall on the copyeditors'

Interesting, except that they got the Hebrew greeting wrong. The translation
of their phrase would be "Happy Festival (used specifically for Jewish
festivals). Happy New Year." "Chag ha-molad sameach" would be closer to
"Merry Christmas."

The "ch" in the first and last words is an aspirated "h," like the German
