	I'm glad to hear of the release of Menzies' book--thanks 
Leslie!  I also want to let everyone know of my chapter, "A Cyberroom 
of One's Own," in Reload: Rethinking Women and Cyberculture, edited 
by Mary Flanagan and Austin Booth, MIT Press, 2002. I talk about this 
issue of technological multitasking and overload from a feminist 
perspective in that, as well as thinking about what conditions are 
needed for creativity.

	back to  everything else I'm behind on--
