 was mumbling something to Kiev Lo 

 JW> I've never bothered to go see a doc about my allergies so I really
 JW> don't know  what I'm allergic to. (aaAAACHEwwwww) It's still bothering
 JW> me!!! I think  they do have needles that help to reduce the symptoms,
 JW> but you need them  every week! I hate needles!
 
 Acutally, I'm not hat scared of needles, as long as they wipe some
 tanqualizer (sp?) on before they stick the needle in - I was a victim once
 when I was 12!

 KL> So what was his (the salesman) excuse?
 JW> Well, when I returned it, he said that because of the T-storms we had,
 JW> there  may have been a surge through the phone lines that may have
 JW> fried the board. BUT my modem was fine and so was the motherboard!!
 JW> Pretty lame excuse. Anyways, I got a brand new card out of the
 JW> deal...actually, it's an updated model, and it's working better. But
 JW> I'm still kinda mad about the excuse he gave.

 You know what they say... salesmen are the worse trained liers.
 
 KL> Yeah I went last Friday and I got myself totally oriented... it took
 KL> me almost an hour  I'm glad that I won't have to do this on the first
 KL> day 
 JW> Good! Now you won't be singled out as FROSH!!!

 The first day actually went quite well, considering that there were whole
 bunch of forsh trying to locate their lecture halls and I was not one of
 them.

 JW> Well, less then one week before school! And I'm getting a new modem
 JW> today. I ordered it from a mail-order company in the States. It should
 JW> be here today, delivered by UPS. It's an Intel SatisFAXtion 400. From
 JW> what I've read, this is one of the better modems (bragging a little :]
 JW> ). I think I'll have a lot of fun setting it up. Oh NO....I'll probably
 JW> end up spending even more time on the modem!!!! There goes my
 JW> marks...out the window....or is that out through the phone line :] .
 JW> It's got fax capabilities too. Now, I  can fax my assignments to U of
 JW> Waterloo instead of mailing it (can't really rely on Canada Post).

 Can you, really (fax your assignments)?  Why do you have anything to do with
 U of Waterloo?  As I recall, you don't go there, do you?

 JW> also recently got some Bible software from Texas. It's pretty good! The
 JW> whole Bible (NIV version) fits onto 3 MB of disk space.

 That's pretty nifty!  Only 3MB... I suppose it is a DOS app, right?

 JW> a Windows wordprocessor. I can get Ami Pro and Word for Win for an
 JW> excellent price from the university bookstore. I've been told to wait
 JW> for Ami Pro 3.0 that was just released. Supposedly, it's
 JW> excellent....well... we'll just have to see what the price is like!

 I have both Word and WP for Windoze but I'm still sticking to the good 'ol
 WP for DOS since I'm more used to the template.  Word for Windoze is very
 versitile and has a lot of functions.  It's my second choice beside WP for
 DOS.  I heard that Ami Pro is more business like.  But frankly, I don't
 think you'll really need 2 windoze wordprocessors though.

 Later...
