flying by

I said "I saw that fly by." Dag asked what I meant, supposing it
had to do with my way of reading email.

I don't have time to read everything as it comes in. I try to scan
on my terminal. Then I put it in files and print it. I was reading
these on the train (at the expense of my linguistics homework). Now
I am riding with a friend who drives in, and it is harder. As it
happens, the quick scan on line was all I had seen of that particular
message. Hence, I had seen it fly by.

Martin's hypercard stacks sounded real nice. But I don't have a
Mac.
