I dont know if I’m allowed to download IM onto my computer at work.
I asked them about Napster and they said they took that program off the computers at work, implying that that kind of debilitating behavior (listening to enjoyable music) would not be tolerated any more.
And I think we are just beginning to reap the benefits of that administrative decision. We are reaching a new era of efficacy and enjoyability that will take us, full stride, into the new millenium. We must fight the social currents. The internet is changing things? Hogwash! So a few people have downloaded some songs on the web. Those were the lucky ones. Soon this internet music thing will be a thing of the past, and its a good thing that my company is ahead of the curve on this one. I’m sure computers have almost hit the end of their fad timeline, good thing my company has just purchased brand new typewriters for all the employees.
So will I IM? Not from my work. Alas, I am sorry. I will keep emailing, until the NYC Pony express has been completely phased in by the next quarter.
