I am thinking that the emails have not filled up my hard drive too now. After
looking around the Outlook Express menus this time I find that I understand it
better than I did a year ago. I am learning my way around computers a bit more
all the time. I just might get around to trying to get my Gmail forwarded to it
again. As for the William Tenn stories, I would not be surprised if all of them
could be published today if it was kept in mind that they are intended to be
humorous. There might have to be a little tweeking though. The one about the
secretary who gives birth to herself, I forget the title, for example would
have to be redone to remove all the sexist assumptions.

Roger,
Sounds like you have little or nothing there, so I doubt Outlook Express
is filling your disk with email you can't read.
By the way, I just checked "The Human Angle" by William Tenn into
bookshare. It was one of your scans with the extra linefeeds, but I
remembered and dug up an old post about a (relatively) painless way to
remove most of them. You know, after reading these stories, I think
some of these science fiction stories, especially the last one and the
title story, would sell today.
