My love affair with computers actually reached its peak circa 1990, with my Apple IIGS. Late at night, I pine away for the exhilaration of traversing the Oregon Trail or tracking Carmen Sandiego, of creating Print Shop greeting cards on my dot-matrix printer or of using floppy disks that are actually floppy.

But Six O'Clock News opens with a wry guitar riff, and Edwards' upbeat, breathy vocal comes through surprisingly carefree, suggesting she knows that too much tragedy--like a Road Runner cartoon--is its own brand of comedy. On One More Song...
