|I just visited with the computer boffins at my university and sent a trial
                         ^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^
|transmission to Wayles Browne.  I'll be sending it to anyone else who has
|requested.  The three fonts are TimesCzech, TimesTurkish, and Cyrillic-
|Gothic.  Send me a message and I'll send you the fonts electronically.
|You'll need to unpack them using BinHex 4.0 at your end.  They work for sure
|on any Mac with system 7 or later.  Try to figure out how to install them
|with experts at your end.  If that fails, then e-mail me.  Best,  --Loren

I am offended by your choice of words.  A more neutral choice might be
`computer support people'.  You could even include a description of how
they met or failed to meet your expectations.

I have three decades of computer support experience.  I have provided
support to both end users and lower level computer support people.

Some of the most difficult situations I have had was convincing a person
whose speciality was in the arts or humanities that there were good
technical reasons why a desired facility could not be provided or why
an explanation of a facility could not be simplified without making
the explanation erronous.  Sometimes the problem is the difference
between the technical language of the computer support people and the
technical language of the customer, eventhough the languages are
nominally English, Russian, or whatever.  These differences in technical
languages can cause the same types of problems, both linguistic and
cultural, as arise when translating between English, Russian, and Chinese,
for example.

Also, I ask you to realize and understand that not every computer is an
Apple MacIntosh.
