I'm thinking a<br>high-deductible "major medical" type plan, with infrequent routine stuff<br>out-of-pocket. I'm young and healthy, with no family to worry about.</p><p>The ACM and IEEE each have group deals with insurance companies. Anyone had<br>experiences with them, or with some similar deal?</p> mary.poppins 2004-06-25T05:24:53+00:00 journal http://use.perl.org/~mary.poppins/journal/15500?from=rss <p>It is really cold here in norcal.

If I am discussing several topics at the same time with someone, it's not clear which topic an individual message addresses.</p><p>I can't think of a convenient user interface for threaded IM, however. Perhaps the program would show, for each thread, all messages less than some age? The user would select a thread before responding, perhaps with the most recently responded-to thread selected by default.</p> mary.poppins 2002-11-15T11:56:34+00:00 journal
