Well yes - that's what I was paraphrasing. Real life meets bad jokes. And the latest from that client: I tried to log in via PCAnywhere tonight to do some scheduled work, and they have not only changed the phone numbers (area code and number) without telling me, but the new phone number according to the phone company is some poor householder's home phone. He and I finally connected via voice so I could apologize for the 5 modem calls at 9 pm on a Friday East Coast time. Work impossible, however (Hurrah a free Friday!!)
