birth!</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>An update is in order. The labor was a bit longer and
harder than Amara <BR>had hoped for. But she gave birth to a beautiful
daughter, Vija <BR>(vee-ya). Attached is a low-res cellphone pic and
some daat Amara took <BR>from the hospital. She hopes to get around to
more of an announcement <BR>and sharing soon.<BR><BR>-

samantha<BR>> I'd been thinking a lot about Amara and "Myrtle" today.
I'd been <BR>> struggling to reach the frontiers of home computing
with a quad <BR>> processor 8 Gigabyte RAM computer networked to
specialized lesser <BR>> computers. The usual unexpected hurdles gave me
time to wonder "gee, <BR>> Amara must be going into labor soon. I
wonder how she's doing...". <BR>> Today I finally got my Linux
computer to give "birth" to a virtualized <BR>> XP desktop, and I started
thinking of the things that would no longer <BR>> have to be dual
booted. One of them was Second Life. And that lead to <BR>>
reading the transcript(s) of Amara's baby shower and experiences and <BR>>
thoughts, and the footnotes to her talk. And that lead me to the recent
<BR>> ExI messages and the wonderful news that she has succeeded in having
a <BR>> healthy baby girl.<BR>> <BR>> Congratulations, Amara!
In pursuing a deep desire you have also <BR>> educated a lot of people,
including me, and touched our hearts. Thank <BR>> you, for
sharing you and your precious little girl. May you both (and <BR>>
we) live long and prosper!<BR>> <BR>> -- David Harris, Palo
