I messed up in my Nov. 21 column, "Weak Case Against Homework," and failed to include comments from the authors of one of the books I was criticizing. I am way overdue for an appointment with the ophthalmologist, so my failing eyes missed their e-mail, waiting patiently in my inbox between a rant...

First, the big news is that lines are forming at Apple stores. Send links to pictures. Oh the humanity. Second, the reason those of us who ordered in advance are not getting our Leopards is that Fedex couldn't handle the load.  Even so, when I called Fedex this morning they said I would have my package today, even though the website says otherwise. Their gears are stipped on a good day. Is Fedex the AT&T of package delivery? Will Apple end up leasing their own fleet of trucks to deliver the next version of Mac OS? I guess we still have to make it through this release.  Will we be able to have a Flash Conference on Monday to discuss Leopard? Only time will tell.

Looks like I'll get the drive back soon. First I got a call from the Emeryville store, then I got a call from a person in Apple Executive offices (she gave me her name and number, but I'm not going to publish it here). I'll report back when I have more info. PS: The number of idiotic comments has gone way up.

ET shouldn&#39;t phone home: the message would never get there. He should post a letter instead, say computer experts. They report in Nature magazine that radio messages would literally be a waste of energy.

Tycho: There were some truly unconscionable spelling issues with the 1.0 version of that last post. I think I got them all. But I am afraid to look.(CW)TB

By PETER GRAD  Did you ever inadvertently send a nasty e-mail about your boss  to your boss?  One such legendary slip-up here at The Record occurred during the early days of computer text-messaging, before e-mail as we now know it.

By MAY WONG  Instant messages. Text messages. E-mail. Voicemail. Blogs. Online social networks. And the good ol' cell phone. If you thought there were enough ways to communicate with others and express yourself, think again.

By Garry Bushell  A BIG thank-you to Virgin for closing my email account without warning. All the nice reviews I'd written of Jo Brand and Louis Walsh were lost forever. Any company able to supply a better internet service, please feel free to get in touch.

Does anyone have the young nympho's number? Comments The iPhone continues to dominate this week, with many comments telling us or fellow readers to shut up. Nobody seems to have any intention of doing so, which is as it should be.â¦

If there were such a book, it would say, instead of Don't Panic: No need for anyone to suffer. Twitter is not a mail list or a chat room. No one has an investment in anyone else's manners. If what someone says causes you too much angst, just unfollow. It's a single click.  Got other advice for Twitter newbies? Post a comment.

Sir, The Nelson Mail's glib and inapt title on a June 23 article "Nappies and compost cause a stink'' is inappropriate and obviously was penned by a philistine.   Compost should never "stink'' if made properly.

Siblings are the first ever to be convicted for sending boatloads of junk e-mail pushing bogus products. Also: Microsoft takes MSN music download on a Euro trip....  Nokia begins legal battle against European counterparts.... and more.

The PHPWomen have posted a reminder about the mailing list that they're going to "dust off" and start using again (and suggest you do too!).   There's just the one list currently (as hosted by omniti) but there's lots of subscribers. You can check out the signup page for more information on the list and get access to some of the archives of previous topics.
