*whoa!*  I think Leslie has Ellery's address here somewhere... except I'm afraid it's the actual address of the Albany County Sheriff's office in Laramie.

Isn't it 87 Tourmaline Road, Laramie, WY?

Ellery doesn't have email yet, remember it is only 1984.

After all the hub-bub with Brad Sevigny, he had his business cards reprinted without his home address:

You're too quick for me, Leslie. I just realized what I said and was going to modify my post to ask for the phone number instead!

Thanks for the home address. I think it best if I don't contact him at work.

In 1984, I had one of the original Osborne 1 computers, with an external monitor (there were only 300 of them made!). It had a modem which we could never get to work. I upgraded from that to an Osborne Executive, then a Zenith which had a whopping big 10MB hard drive (you read that right, folks, 10MB). I think I had email on the Zenith, through compuserve. Remember those email addresses? Something like [email protected]. "Real" email didn't really kick in until 1991 when I started working at the Muskie School at USM and I had such a nice, simple address: [email protected]

Of course, this has nothing to do with E&E--please forgive my walk down computer memory lane, I just like to reminisce.

He sat down at a work table, which had a computer terminal wired to large teletype, an acoustic coupler with a phone receiver pressed into as if it were permanently stationed there, and piles of papers. The teletype had a terminal for punched paper feed as well, all of which looked weirdly alien to Ellery. He gawked at it for a long moment before fixing his eyes back on Sevigny.

But Ellery doesn't know shit about computers. I think that was clear when he went to Brad Sevigny's place. So he can't have email, can he?

You're absolutely right, Natali. I don't think Ellery even cares to learn about computers. Maybe he'll have email by the early nineties.
Peace be with y'all,
