12:00 midnight

Logged into work again... 63 new messages this time! I respond to the urgent ones (i.e. from my boss) and download the rest to be processed on the plane using Jim Lerner's Portable Mail program. This takes some time at 1200 baud and is hard on the batteries (I didn't bring the AC adapter). I sure could use the NewsStream receiver. I could have my workstation at work transmit new E-mail at regular intervals... especially overnight while I'm sleeping. That would be nice!

Some of the E-mail messages have appointments for me. I switch over to APPT and enter them, and then use lx2cm, a program I wrote, to convert from .ABK files to Sun Open Windows 3.0 Calendar Manager. (Available on Library 14 of CompuServe's HPSYS forum as SUNCAL.95. *.) This way my co-workers back at Sun can browse my calendar at work to see my new appointments.
