Wow, I was an intern last summer too (assuming that you were, since 
PowerPoint 5 isn't out yet).  Anyway, I really miss Seattle in general,
there are a lot of great diversions there for outdoorsy types (which I
generally think I am).  Can't wait to get back this summer, and hopefully
for fulltime once I graduate.

I'd rather see Windows 95 go away, but NT has some nice design behind
it.  I work on Real-Time Mach here (CMU) though (and it was the first
OS I worked on besides 386bsd hacking) so maybe I'm just a microkernel
bigot.
