...Hooray for William F. Buckley Jr. and his enthusiasm for the word processor [COMPUTERS, Dec. 9]. Who says you cannot teach an old conservative new tricks? The ease and lack of frustration that come from writing on a computer make the machine ideal. When I went back to school to finish an electronics degree, I purchased a word processor. Not only was I more creative, but writing became fun instead of drudgery. Thomas M. Nathe Salem...
...most weeks when the hotly contested new ratings come out, CBS Evening News finds itself leading the pack, but just barely. Hooray, the challenge from Tom Brokaw's NBC Nightly News has been beaten off again. But CBS's edge is misleading.

...Building 41 erupted in jubilation around us. The force of labor that had been writing computer code and selling advertising round the clock let out a collective hooray (they would have yahooed, if it wasn't trademarked). "This is 1999 all over again," said one beaming worker. Some were weary and overcome with joy: "I've never worked so hard in my life," said one older, more seasoned veteran. "I've been here for one year, but I wish it had been two." Engineers were sporting wide grins as they bounced off the walls and funneled into...
