'Electronically Yours' Baud: the rate of speed at which information is sent between two computer devices, for example, modems. From 1200 plus, our baud declined. At under 300, a blank. EXIT. Or so I thought. But bits of you <alluring syllables, the burnt-in codes of half-unearned caresses "lost" when power died> were saved, it seems, to memory's soft disk. I found a file called HIDDEN FILES. Delete <Y/N>? -- Gerald Jonas
