Okay I'll right to you.  Why a physics project?  I'm taking physics this year in high school and am loving it.  Since I am a senior I have to write a research paper and I have chosen to do mine on the physical aspects of motion focusing on SHM and various types of waves.
Write back and tell me more about your physics project

Organization: University of Newcastle, AUSTRALIA
Date: Thu, 7 Jan 1993 02:48:33 GMT

Hi there Rebekah,

My name is Steve Remington.  I am a student at the University of Newcastle in
Australia.  Newcastle is about 100 miles north of Sydney.  I work at the
University also as a part time Computer Technician.

I was filling in sometime reading some of the messages on the NEWS BBS and
discovered that you were trying very hard to get people to reply to your
messages so I thought that I would send a reply and help break some of the
boredom you may have.  I would imagine that being in a foreign country at
school could be a bit of a drag.  I know a bit what it is like because my dad
used to get tranferred around alot within Australia.  Consequently I changed
schools alot.

This is my first attempt at sending one of these messages so I hope that I am
doing it right.  At the moment I have to use the terminals at the Uni but I
hope to be getting a modem for my computer at home soon.

I just realised that you only know my name at the moment so I'd better fill in
the rest of the details.  I'm 20 years old, 6' tall, medium build with blue
eyes and light brown hair (shortish in length).  I am study business management
and am in my final year.  My hobbies include scuba diving, snow skiing,
photography, computers, weight training at the gym, and listening to music.  I 
am outgoing and have a warped sense of humour.

Now you know some of the gorey details about me and have probably formed some
picture of me in your mind.  

I hope to hear from you soon (If you haven't already moved as you said in one
of the replies you gave to someone).  When (if???) you reply to me try to make
the subject something that will stand out to me like "Hi Steve From Aus" (maybe
something less corny).

My computer address is "sosr@cc.newcastle.edu.au"

Regards, Steve

Hey you!  Sorry about the Beatles thing, but I had to think of some creative way to get some replies back because the end of the semester is coming up for me!  Thanks for helping me.  For our project, we have to have a least three conversations with the same person on this network.  You guys are lucky you have snow!  We only get rain and maybe some hail if it's cold enough.  Oh yeah, I live in San Leandro, CA.  It's a small city a bit past Oakland in the San Francisco Bay Area.  Lately, it's been either ra
ining or really cold.  I guess the rain part is cool because we need water!  Enough of that stuff.  So I guess I'll tell you a little about me.  I'm a senior at San Leandro High School.  I used to play tennis a bit, but not so much anymore because there's not time!  Well, I just finished
applying to all the colleges (UC BERKELY, UC DAVIS, CAL POLY SLO, and SACRAMENTO STATE).  Geez, I don't know why I even mentioned them because you probably don't even know these schools, except for Berkeley.  Are you a senior?  If so, how did the college thing go for you?  What else about me?  I was originally born in Hong Kong, but came to the U.S. when I was about 14 months.  I have long dark hair and real dark eyes.  I'm about 5'4" (no short jokes!).  Oh yeah, congrats on Michigan State, if you're a foo
tball fan.  Didn't they win one of the big bowl games?  Hopefully my memory is serving me right.  Well, I hope to hear from you really soon and when you write back, tell me about you!       Althea
P.S.  Feel free to ask me stuff!

    Ha! Well, I've been looking for a tenor now for quite some time. I don't want a school one, because you know how those are! Do you listen to Stan Getz? His tenor music is GREAT! I recommend Stan Getz - 'Serenity' That's probably his best. 
    Um... Jazz camp was great. We had a sax master class in the morning, and then private lessons, and then 2 band rehersals (there were 5 bands). It was GREAT! 
    I didn't take first in district, we only have 1*'s and that's what I got. Then you get to advance to state, which our band teacher didn't take us! :(

hey, i'm suprised you wrote back so quickly. most of the time i have to wait a week, if i even get another reply. i've sent my applications to u.c. davis and to cal state hayward. i'm hoping to get into davis, but i'm not sure if i will. i also am planning to get "early decision" in a community college. i just want to make sure that i've covered my butt in case anything went wrong. i've always got a back-up. i have a twin brother, (don't know why i really mentioned it), and he was too lazy to apply to anyw
here. he forgot to get the forms. he's an idiot. he has better grades than i do. in my free time i like to call bbs'. i really only got started in this stuff about 2 months ago. it was actually because of the assignment i was made to do by my physics teacher. i guess i'm glad that i had to do it because i've been having a lot of fun. i really should get a faster modem, i'm only using a 2400 and i hate waiting for the stuff to come up on screen. i also like to play music. i'm in a death metal band and have 
always used a lot of my time doing that. i play the drums. i've played at clubs where other bands like metalica and slayer and ozzy osborne have played, but we never got around to making a demo. do you play any instruments? what about sports? i'll save those questions for you so that we have something to chat about next time. hey, i guess i can write a longer letter, if you ask the right questions. write back soon. later.

If you can find out if there is a BBS that carries K12 closer to him I would 
really appreciate it.  I will tell him about the BBS you use and let him

Nope no more questions.  For the moment . . . :)  Looks like I have some 
research to do on sound cards to see what's available and what will work 
with the CD-ROM that's out these days.  Also I'll need a bigger system.  I 
have a 386 20Mhz, but it only has three expansion bays and those are maxed 
out not to mention my drive bays.  I have two 3.5 and one 5.25 drive bays 
and I have an internal HD in one 3.5 bay a HD 3.5 drive in the other and a 
CD-ROM in the 5.25 bay.

My best friend stared me and my first book was X-Factor #11. For awhile I was doing 17 series a month with 1 bi-weekly and 1 bi-monthly. now I've cut back to 6 a month and only go in about once a month.
I have to go to class now but if you want to talk more about comics and I know who will be a new artist for marvel next year give me a call

(Sob, Sob)  Yeah, I'm a senior, but I haven't sent out College stuff...  I'm probably (Most likely) going to Bay De Noc College.  Of course you haven't heard of it...  It's about the size of your high school.  But, it'll do for a year or two...  Umm, Yeah, I think michigan won one of the bowl games, or something, but I'm not really into football or much sports.  I'm about 5'11", and a little over weight, but I'm taking care of it.  I've been working out alot, and drinking milk, and in a couple of years....
  Well, you've seen the comercials (J/K)....  No, I work out though...  Umm....  I'm into Digital Electronics, and have been doing pretty good in it...  I've taken a gold metal in Digital Electronics at VICA (Vocational Industrial Clubs of America) competition (Regional). But that was last year...  I'm going to it again, and hopefully I'll win another one....  Am I boring you?  Well, if so, just lay a book on the space bar, and let it scroll by for a while..

Umm...  Just woundering...  Is it like dangerous out there..  Like do you have to worry about guns in you school?  We normally don't, cause we're a pretty small town (More like Village), but we have had a couple of problems with guns..  We even have a bigger drug problem them most people think, though I'm not into that "crap"....  Well, Hope to talk to ya later.

Hi. That last message you got from me was crossed with someone elses' mail.... heres' your message!
 1: Hi! I LOVE Christmas food, but I got sick during that week, and couldn't
 2: handle some of my families' cooking. Theen again, I've never been partial
 
 3: to cabbage rolls, but Kobasa and all that good stuff surpassed the
 4: limitations of my stomach. Guess what? I slept in the living room
 5: Christmas eve, and they trusted me there, with this Santa thing and all
 6: (what about SAnta? Is he ill?). Anyway, &:30 sharp, all my younger
 7: cousins charged in to tear into their stockings. Stupid me, I put my
 8: sleeping bag right in front of the hearth, so I was trampled to near
 9: senselessness (well, I was pretty close to begin with; it WAS 7:30!) One
10: actually stumbled over my tired skull, just to keep scrambling for his
11: Santa presents, whose writing is suspiciously familiar! Well, Hoopy new
12: Year!
