Title: Conf.#3

Conference room #3 is the bibliotheca of the Center
as well as one of the better meeting rooms because of
the facilities.  Not only are there several volumes and
notebooks of documentation, there is also a variety
of terminals and work stations from which one can
retrieve endless numbers of databases and software.

Ron sees me as I enter #3, rises and says, "So, the
Great One returns!  Good seeing you, I hope you're
feeling better after the ... accident."

"I'm fine.  Good to be back.  What have you been
doing with yourself all this time, besides, of course,
trying to break my codes and collect books?"
He's smiling and nodding, like he gets the joke or something.

"I just bought a first edition of War and Peace for next to
nothing.  Needless to say I'm really stoked about THAT."

"Congratulations.  Will you re-sell for a profit somewhere?"


Best to you.  Is JUNEGLOOM invading your daze?
