Heidi,

Whoever it was (I'm now too old to remember so far back) specifically talked
about the 2nd Empire style, which is why I'm being such a snot about it.
1820's seems to me a little late for the first Empire, even, but I suppose
news traveled rather more slowly in the pre-internet days.

Just wait til the future Little Heidis ask you what kind of computer you had
when you were a little girl.  I forgot-- you're so young, you probably DID
have one.

Ralph

What, me crotchety?
