> I was at the office late one evening and a younger lawyer who had just

> review a will
> he and an associate were preparing for a client, seriously ill and in

> there's no secretary here to re-do the very extensive changes (a

> total lawyer familiarity with computers etc) and the client is very  
> sick, we
> need to get this to the hospital at 8 tomorrow morning and it's good
