Spider Robinson on BillCo. A nice little rant from Wednesday's Globe & Mail, bracketed by the obligatory Heinlein quote and a really lame pun.

Screw this anti-BillCo stuff, there's an important announcement hidden in here.

Bantam will publish his new novel Callahan's Key in July.

"One of the most popular of its many products contains an innovative feature -- ironically, one of the few genuinely original features ever offered by BillCo -- called 'scripting'..."

Thanks, Spider! With deep technical know-how like that, it's no wonder Stardance was so good!

I think my world-view has been mildly rocked to see Spider use the word "dissing."

I don't know, it just doesn't quite fit my image of him.

(gotta agree with harmful on this one though)

How old is his daughter now? I think that anyone with a teenage daughter is allowed to use current slang.

She's pushing 20, if memory serves.
