I thought it would be appropriate, at this cultural juncture, to talk about the logic of storage and retrieval. My use of the phrase "this cultural juncture" might set off an alarm bell or two, but I promise I won't bore you tonight with talk of the millennium, lest somebody brandish in front of me this new book I keep seeing everywhere, called Two Thousand Reasons to Hate the Millennium. Mercifully my name is not included in that book, but in all fairness it could have been. The M-word is becoming boring, as I myself predicted it might when I published my book Dreams of the M-Word back in 1996.
