Day 208

To Haysend: finished the tickets, and got the 386 to recognise the 5¼" drive by getting into the CMOS (NVR) set-up. Also taught them to use Windows Paintbrush.

To M's in the evening. Back at 10 pm: early encouragement US-election-wise with a big turn-out. Before Pris Bill Clinton looked ahead, now - 1.02 am - he's gained a load of states and it looks like he is next American President. Comparisons to Kennedy and all.

You may wonder at this excessive interest in America, add to my comments yesterday the fact that Bush represented Thatcherism/Reaganomics - now both stamped DISCREDITED. Any port in a storm, Heath over Th**r any day.
