The roadwork on highway 54 at 55 (Railroad crossing) has been completed and
the road is open again.  Now all you have to wait for are the trains which
COMPLETELY shut the road...  I liked two lanes that were open all the time 
better....

[I think this piece of work should get one of the "golden turkey" awards for
 stupidity in planning].

The first time I saw that the road was open, I watched a person pull out 
from about 7th in line waiting at the flashing-gates and drive right
through the crossing.  The only justice in the world would have allowed
the train to crush them as an example.  Fortunately for the driver, the
world is not just.

Yes. You can attend the evening college. It allows you to register
for any course, graduate or not. The office is at Friday Center on
54 east, on the way to I40. I don't have their telephone number
with me, but the UNC switchboard number is 962-2211. You can earn
credits for the courses you registered. You can transfer
6 hours of credit if you enrolled into a graduate program later.

There has been a lot of dissatisfication expressed with the
quality and cost of the cable companies in the triangle area.
I, too, am less than pleased with the service and am curious
if anyone else would switch companies if the choice was
available.  So, here's a little survey.   Please email responses
to me (key@mcnc.org) and I'll post the results.

1.  Do you believe you should have a choice between cable companies?

2.  If you could choose between one or more cable companies, would
    you switch from the one you are currently hooked up to?  Would
    you switch only if the hookup is free or would you switch anyway
    to get better programming and services?

3.  What are your major complaints with the current cable company?

4.  What services would you like to see cable companies offer that
    you are not currently receiving?  (i.e. cable service that is
    compatible with today's high-tech electronics--be specific please).

5.  What is your opinion of your cable company's:
    a)  timliness of response to service calls?
    b)  knowledge of customer service representatives?
    c)  professionalism of customer service respresentative (are
        you treated with courtesy or are they defensive and brusque)?

6.  What programs would you like to receive that you are not
    currently getting?  Would you like an option of receiving
    fewer channels for less money and/or more channels for more
    money (this used to be referred to as tiers and is no
    longer available as far as I know).

7.  Have you ever had problems with your monthly statement?  If so,
    how difficult was it to get the matter resolved?

8.  Do you think the bill is received far enough in advance of the
    due date?  If not, what do you consider a reasonable amount of
    time?

9.  If you have other complaints with your cable company that may not
    be covered above please feel free to voice them.

My mother is looking into buying a special printer that cuts letters out
of a vinyl (with sticky back) type material.  Shes a 'graphic
technician' who needs the machine to do 'lettering'.

The one she is currently looking at comes with a hand scanner (it will
scan in and print images on vinyl too) and the special printer.  She
must supply an IBM Compatible XT or better.

This system costs 2300 and we were wondering if anyone knew of other
vinyl cutting systems or anyway to adapt a regular printer to this.

She only has 2500 in her budget at work and has no XT computer so she
would need to buy a computer too.

thanks!

ps.  Can systems like this be bought mail order?

This is exactly the reason. This ignores the fact that lights or

a fact of physics that if the path of a car and a train never
cross, they can't hit one another. Arguments about personal
responsibility and natural select not withstanding.

That is correct. The first stages of the outer loop.
