Software conflicts are driving me nuts; why should products from one source constantly conflict with one another? Everything's conspiring to hinder the great annual design project. For some reason the free stuff is firing up again. Direct marketing may be recovering after the great drop in use of the postal service following the day of calamity. In the mailbox today were a free calling card from Televisa and a Mojo Bar from the Cliff's people, plus an offer of a free software download that's very useful. I'm not tempted to try the Mojo, which arrived in "mixed nuts" flavor.
