The Mind Snatchers (aka “The Happiness Cage”)

, a reluctant scion of the postmodern age, is larger on the inside than the outside: perhaps not a composer, but a producer and arranger of sounds; nor a writer, but an avid writer-down; an occasional author of doggerel; an erstwhile urban hermit; last but not least an inventor of countless software-based solutions to vexing problems and provider of IT advice and service; and privately a man of very great ardor and, hopefully, appealing good humor. He is currently in what he calls the "red bathrobe period" of his life. If you're wondering what all this has to do with FileMaker development or IT consulting: you done taken the wrong turn, this river don't go to Aintry—Mike's professional services are on his San Francisco FileMaker Pro consulting website.
