Andrew, SET THIS GUY UP ON HAPPYDOODLE!

[Ted Nelson <ted@xxxxxxxxxx>]

What we have here is our most inflamed and eager
 customer.  Sure, let him fiddle to get organized,
 but in the meantime, let's give him an account on
 Happydoodle so he can step into the ZigZag world!

The first fix is free, tee hee ...

Peter, I think you're going to like this a lot.
