"Sort of like a Baywatch lifeguard, only different, Don keeps a tireless eye on the digital surf. One time I got beat up by a rogue cop and told some people in a discussion list. Don noticed the tear in the fabric of the Web, dove in, prescribed PGP, and I've had none of that nasty business since. "
- Dan McComb, former victim
" Nelly and Don told me something about the rest of their schedule; but it sounded like 'The 15 Countries In 60 Days Marathon Visit' and details of it have escaped me...
Don was packing a very huge camera with a bazooka-like lens. "
