...ashes of Dr. Seuss have settled in a small wooden box in La Jolla, Calif. Audrey Geisel - who is sometimes referred to simply as "the widow" - has placed them there, neatly and lovingly, on a heavy wooden hutch in the sunny foyer of the home they shared high on a hill by the ocean. They were married in 1968, long after the rest of the world had fallen in love with him, and still she keeps him close, just steps from the study where a hat-wearing cat and a Christmas-stealing Grinch and a Who-hearing Horton once scampered...
...mountain, to the petite, 79-year-old blond, blue-eyed widow. When she met Ted Geisel in the mid-1960s, she was still married to physician Grey Dimond, with whom she had two daughters.

Call me cheap, but the $499 price tag seems about twice what Audrey is worth. The device works with such popular ISPs as Earthlink, Prodigy and AT&T but not with the biggest: America Online. That may be because AOL (which still plans to merge with TIME's parent company, Time Warner) is releasing its own appliance, built by Gateway, before...
