Gives me something >to think about... Boy is this a subject that I know about!! I have more net.penpals than is probably healthy. (Not that I'm complaining mind you.) I've gone out with three people that I met through the net. We all live in Portland, but they work at Tektronix, I work at Reed. One of them I'm starting to date somewhat frequently. (Considering how much time each of us has.) It's obviously much more difficult to date people who are farther away (different cities, states, or countries.) But I have received roses from a net friend in Chicago (Hi Sweety!), and chances are good that I'll have a place to crash when I go to NYC this New Years, thanks to another net friend. I've found the net to be fantastic for meeting people. cheers - elizabeth g. purtell (Lady Godiva)
