We have a desktop iMac and I write on a Powerbook G4. I use Entourage as my e-mail application, and the mail from North Park just shows up (like magic to me) at home in my Entourage account. But, today suddenly I started getting a -23012 error message, something with not making connection, and I…

In chp 10 of Joseph Epstein’s book, Friendship: An Expose, Epstein asks this question: What are the friendships between males like? What do you think of the following quotations?
