and LOOK at THAT, CHAR-lie is NOW be-STARRED

Welcome to the starry world, Charlie!

I will miss my little green dot when it goes...

[Maryann Corbett]

Jim, as far as I can tell, the green dot signals only that you're online at the Sphere. When you're on, you see it. When it disappears, you're not there to see it. Onward, then, without concern for green dots.

[Michael Cantor]

But if it only disappears when you're not on line - or so we're told - how do you know it disappears, since you're no longer on line to verify. I guess somebody else could check for you, but would you trust a poet?

[Mark McDonnell]

My dot doesn't disappear, but when I 'log out' it turns from a healthy green to a sad grey colour...

[Mark McDonnell]

And four little yellow ones! Charlie is a lucky be-starred!

Or maybe the dots are transmuting from deadly radium to precious platinum, Mark. It all depends on whether the beholder is happier when a particular person is logged in or logged out.

I'll miss mine too if it goes . . .

Think of it as the light in an Eratospherical refrigerator, or the green eye of a Schrodingerian cat. Now you see it, now you don't.
