...good reason to be concerned: her mother wasn't eating. Ginny had a gag reflex every time she put food in her mouth. Some mornings she was unable even to brush her teeth without thinking she would vomit.

...keeping count. Previous versions of OS X were criticized for being slower than their predecessor, OS 9, but Jaguar zooms on by. Graphics and text look smoother than ever and are put to good use in some neat new programs. There's iChat (compatible with AOL Instant Messenger), in which conversations take place in little speech balloons. Sherlock 3 will find movies, flight times and Yellow Pages listings in a click or two without the hassle of actually getting on the Internet. And there's a great new spam filter in the e-mail program...
