For the bible tells me so. Little ones to him belong. They are weak, -but he is strong." Even though her voice would emerge high-pitched and -slightly cracked, she seemed to gain courage from those lyrics. -Tonight, I realized that I was humming the same tune to myself as I sit in -front of this blank screen. Repeated flashsessions throughout the day and -evening have produced the same message: No Mail. All of you have fallen -into a black hole. Why should that seem scarey? -If you answer that question, I can't hear you. Now, I want you to put your hand on the terminal. Right now, just reach out and put your hand on your screen. Don't be afraid, we won't peek at you...just put your hand up there right now. Can you feel the heat? Can you feel the bits reaching out to caress your palm with the electricity of the networks? I know some people think that's static, but it's really us reaching out... 'Cause we're in here. We're hiding in here, waiting for you, and if you just believe, deep in your heart, and put your hand on the terminal... Those bits are going to *f*l*a*s*h* at you! so don't be scared, don't be late, never, ever hesitate, the email is coming for you! tink
