``I have what I call the Lyle barometer,'' she said. ``If a guy cannot deal with the fact that Lyle and I are such good friends, then OK, we just don't go any further.''

WEDDING BYTES: Marriage proposal mixes high-, low-tech techniques

It was a marriage proposal made on the streets and the Internet.

And the woman, surprised and overwhelmed by the way her fiance-to-be proposed, said yes.

An elaborate plot was hatched by Brian Winn of Bothell, Wash. - with the help of his fiancee-to-be's brother, a friend and a co-worker - and carried out Wednesday night and Thursday morning.

On Wednesday night, Winn received a call from his office, where there supposedly was a computer problem. That was the beginning of the ploy.

Lisa Cook said he left the home they share in Bothell and returned four hours later complaining of the big problem that had to be fixed.

And as the sun rose Thursday morning, there were 250 signs stuck in the ground from Kirkland to Redmond proclaiming, ``Lisa C. will you . . .'' and at the bottom a Web address - www.tosayyes.com.

Cook spotted the first signs as she left Interstate 405. It didn't take her long to figure she was ``Lisa C.''

The signs were strung along the road all the way to her 3-year-old daughter's child-care center and then to her workplace.

``As soon as I got to my desk, I called up the Web site. He left me a message that he would be waiting outside with a ring box and roses . . . and he was there,'' the elated bride-to-be said.

She didn't know where he got the idea, ``but he always comes up with good things.''

Cook said they often have talked about marriage, but Winn never really popped the question.

Until Thursday.

Winn, whose work involves Internet software applications, said he wanted to do a Web page but wasn't exactly sure how to get her to access the site. While driving recently he saw a campaign sign and that gave him the idea.

``I wanted to do something different, and with the way the Internet is, we can start with this and keep an existing scrapbook A Macintosh disk file that holds frequently used text and graphics objects, such as a company letterhead. Contrast with "clipboard," which is reserved memory that holds data only for the current session.  way into the future,'' he said. The next chapter on the Web page will be the wedding on Aug. 28.
