...losing touch with my high school buddies, playing phone tag with my parents and staking out the mobbed office hours of my teachers, where etiquette demanded only the pithiest of conversations. But once professors started posting study notes on the Web, I had no choice but to log on and never look back...
Becoming part of a distributed-computing network is easy. You simply log onto a website and download free data-crunching software that doubles as a snazzy screensaver. Anytime you go online after that, the computer contacts a server that beams you a small packet of data for your PC to analyze. The calculations are performed whenever your computer is idle; the next time you log on, the results are beamed back to the server, where they are combined with those sent in by other PCs. Like any other screensaver, the system is utterly unobtrusive. Tap a key, touch a mouse...
...December finds you driven to distraction by noisy, aggressive crowds, head for the Ridgeline Log Cabin in Danbury, N.H., just two hours from Boston. Set atop Ragged Mountain Ski Resort's northeast peak, the Ridgeline cabin is 2,000 sq. ft. of rustic isolation that sleeps anywhere from two to 28 people (the more people, the more reasonable the cost).

After the last lift closes in the early evening, Ragged Mountain is all yours...

The children welcome Santa and his Mrs., who arrive in a sleigh jeep, to their own Christmas Eve party...
With its pedestal sinks, cathedral ceilings, luxurious down comforters and ample electricity, the log cabin is not one that Abe Lincoln would recognize. Each of the five guest rooms--named for local wildflowers that cover the property--has a handcrafted log bed and private bath. Four have decks or balconies, and all face the same view: the Teton mountains. The plushest suite, which extends from the main house, is practically a log cabin of one's own, complete with Jacuzzi, sitting room and gas fireplace. Common areas include a glass-enclosed solarium, filled with plants and a large...
