Alas, the software of the internet and our links to is also
hopelessly Anglocentric ... Eva's Swedish goodbye came out
almost unreadable because her non-US alphabetic characters
had weird IBM equivalents on my screen. As if to say, you may
not deviate by a jot or a tittle from absolute standardization
-- and yet what should be easier for a computer system with
the power of the one I am using, or the internet, than to
let us speak in our own true voices? JAY.
