Abide with me

Here's a wake-up call. In preparation for my Lisbon talk I went looking for notes I took while working on my dissertation, almost 20 years ago. Guess what? Although they were taken in MS Word, which I have used in successive versions ever since, the current versions of MS Word won't open them. None of the various options listed worked either. So had it not been for the ingenuity of one of our IT specialists, everything I did in graduate school would have been lost to me. IT guy is helping me update all my files from those days, but meine Ruh' ist hin.
