Hi all,
	Just thought I'd relate to you all that I finally found a
*real* job.  It's at a place called Laserpoint Software Systems in
Ludlow, MA, and I'll be writing documentation about the software they
write, which is CAD/CAM software for the packaging industry.  It pays
well, and I'm looking forward to starting it on next Monday.  Right
now I'm at Drew for the weekend--came down to visit my friends, and
it feels so weird to be here.  What's even weirder is logging in at
9600 bps!  Oh, and this place I'll be working at is on UUCP,
connected through think.com (hi //anne//), so when I find out the
specifics I'll be sure to post them.  Hope the list isn't becoming
too fragmented, and talk to you later.

Steve, my point was that while there's room for honest intellectual
disagreement, the comment falls far short of "slime." Besides,
I'm not sure why Bush supporters would object if foreign
corporations moved to other countries. The Bush administration,
after all, is financing opportunities for US corporations to move
to foreign countries, as L. Martin has admitted.

Akio,

     Sorry for the delay.  I have been somewhat occupied lately.

n?) Harvey Korman

     Harvey Korman is a comedic actor (as opposed to being a comic)
who is probably best known for being one of the regular cast on the
"Carol Burnett Show" and a variety of movies.  All of the character I
could see on the poster was eyes and eyebrows, and they reminded me of
Harvey when he was working with Mel Brooks.

      well, yes and no.....its about what mortgage rates are (or a touch
higher), but without the collateral and other requirements....yes, they
are government insured, at least partially....
      they are also different in that you don't start making payments
30 or 45 days later, like almost any other type of loan....

    would YOU lend YOUR money at 9% to someone who might ormight not

in paying back the money?

Steve - the reason it's so great that the number of women may soon be doubled
in the US Senate is because people are now realizing that women are just as
qualified as men when it comes to holding office. Just think in a few short
weeks, female representation in the Senate may amount to a whopping *4*%! And
it's only taken us >200 years to achieve this! :-)

Don ponders:

   Well Anne, I'm getting a little away from my area of knowledge, but isin't
   the "service charge" (origination fee here) more than offset by the much
   lower interest rate on student loans?

$190 "Origination Fee" for the initial disbursement I can understand...to
skim it off of each disbursement, after the loan has been approved and
entered into the system appears to me to be a criminal offense.  The banks
are "guaranteed" (a "guaranteed" student loan--the government suffers the
effects of default, not the banks who lend) repayment of the total amount
of the loan--$15000--plus what they skim--so, they get a total of $16140
for their "effort" and I get $13860 in actual cash.  I get to repay $15000
principal at 8% interest for the first 4 years...after that, I get to pay
at a rate of 10%.  I agreed to those conditions...I was not informed, nor
did I agree to give United Banks of Denver $1140 as "origination
fees"...no, that's not entirely accurate, I'm sure it was in the fine print
somewhere...but I'm also sure that being hit by this kind of stuff is the
fodder that feeds the discontent with the student loan process and
encourages default.  The banks screw the students and the government.

Hi Carol,

I just got the brochure about upgrading to PC Tools 8, and wondered whether
there's any inside dope on it that might help me decide whether to get it.

I haven't used PC Tools much lately, ever since I (reluctantly) became an OS/2
user.  What little I've done seemed to cause problems of some sort (don't
remember whether it was video or mouse or whatever).  I should mention that I'm
still on Version 6.  So is Version 8 any friendlier to OS/2 than V6 seems to
be?


Had a nice day on the Youghioghenny a few weeks ago.  As the most experienced
rafter in the boat, I was the captain of our 4-person paddle boat.  We did lose
one person in one rapid, but it was really his own fault -- the raft had little
patches on the floor that could be used as 'stirrups', and he had gotten too
dependent on that.  So when his foot slipped out, he flipped out.  Luckily,
with a lot of frenzied paddling and a little luck, the rest of us ran the rest
of that rapid safely.

Anyway, any tidbits about PC Tools 8 would be greatly appreciated.

Natalie, you could start taking one along with you to wash your hands in
a public restroom if there is no soap there.
