	Congratulations! Although I went through my defense in summer of 1987, 
I still remember it all too vividly.  (Of course, I passed too. :) )
	There were no iBooks then and my "dissertation machine" was a 
dual-floppy IBM PCjr and I used PC-Write for software and a daisywheel 
printer for the output.
	The prior autumn when I did my final comprehensive exam, however, I 
chose to haul my trusty full-size Royal office manual typewriter with 
me. (Comps had to be typed.) Several other students brought 
first-generation "portable" PCs. Two of them had to be allowed extra 
time to finish because the computers "ate" their files and corrupted 
their floppy disks.  I would imagine that today an iBook would prove a 
whole lot more trustworthy.
	It's kind of nice the first time they call you "Doctor," isn't it?  :)
