AS from today, my view from the window is different: It used to be a busy street with streetcar rails and the long wall of a 1950ies' factory building. That was when I opened AWAD in my office on the 4th floor. Now I am retired, and installed internet access from my appartment, where I look down on the lawn in front of a school gym hall. Usually the place is animated by children, but today only the crows walk about in the fast-melting snow. The rain on the roof makes a noise not unlike the hard disk of my computer when it is busy loading a file.
