Happens here all the time. :-( It's not only the upgrades that are a problem
for me though, last week when the phone lines collapsed at the Uni, the men
from Telecom seem to have really fixed them right up..... now the lines
are so noisy that it took me 20 minutes yesterday to upload a 30 sec file  -
it encountered 556 data errors.... I don't know what's happened to the error
-correcting modems we're supposed to have. Perhaps they're suffering from
hypothermia too (like UGA).

No, it's not.  But when I think back and compare the times I walked
across the sand with the times I walked through the snow (note the
prepositions), I can't help but remember them as being distinctly
different.  My memories may have more to do with temperature, clothing
and surroundings than with the textural differences underfoot,
but crossing sand seems sensuous and warm while trudging through the
icy fluff seems to involve stomping, huffing and puffing.

It's true!  True!  I'd forgotten about that, Anne; thanks for reminding me.
I  used to have an account on a beta bulletin board there [I think it was 
the forerunner to Holonet, or whatever they're calling it now]  and stuff
could take *forever*.  Mail would only go out at two or three times a day,
instead of constantly, like a real system.  Even when it went, it could take
anywhere from 24 hours to four days to get where it was going, and that's only
if it was straight Internet.  Bitnet stuff took LONGER.

And at 2400?  Forget that Ken; you need 9600 to make it worthwhile.:-)

Xanax is an anti-anxiety drug, similar to Valium and more potent
milligram-for-milligram, but is generally preferred by doctors over
Valium today because whereas Valium both reduces anxiety and increases
sedation, the sedative effects of Xanax wear off after about the first
week of use.  Also, Xanax is less addictive than Valium, and thus it is
easier to wean a patient off of Xanax when it is no longer needed.

That would be fun, and I *almost* would do it if it weren't already
Saturday night.  Anyway, I am trying to clean up my tc/sw's mess in
the house in anticipation of the arrival of my daughter from Nebraska,
her husband from Nebraska, my son from Hoboken, his wife from Hoboken,
the bebe from Hoboken, my son from Hazelton PA (temporarily), and my
son from five blocks up the street, all for Christmas eve and three
days afterwards.  All wordslers are invited to stop in at the
Woodburn Road mansion on the way back from Mississippi to bring gifts
to the child on his first Christmas and to help me put together the
toys until four a.m. Christmas morning.  I *am*, though, thinking
seriously of driving the infamous Miata to Portland, via San Antonio
if the timing is right to do both in one trip.
What the hell, it has a seven year, 70,000 warranty.  Might as well
use it, and visit about twenty wordslers on the way if I plan it right.

Every since our daughter (now 24) at the age 2 or 3 observed that our cat, the
social beast that he was, spent many hours sitting on a stool which usually
lived in a corner next to the kitchen table then asked why he couldn't
eat there (he ate our food for the most part anyway), cats in this household
eat at the table with the 'people'.  It sure does make for interesting dinner
situations -- some guests don't like sitting next to the cats -- for us, it
is strange when they are not there.

Sorry, John, I can't help you there.... I probably know less about Aussie Rules
(a.k.a. Aerial Ping-Pong) than you do. Aussie Rules has never been a popular
game in this area.... it's mainly played in Victoria..... soccer was the most
popular male sport here during my youth, but that has been replaced by
rugby league since Newcastle managed to get a team (The Newcastle Knights)
into the Sydney competitions. NSW only has one major Aussie Rules team....
The Sydney Swans....who play against the Victorian teams on a regular basis,
but that team has been battling bankruptcy for a number of years now and
doesn't look likely to be able to afford to compete next year.

I'd rather go to the local and drink their brew that look at their billboards.

I learnt something this morning - never try to write/type anything with a
6 year old sitting on your back and talking incessantly. :-( My deepest
apologies to Evelyn and Agnes. In a post I sent this morning, detailing a
possible method of playing the game, I had a momentary lapse and typed
Evelyn's name when I meant Agnes..... for some reason I thought Agnes had
said she wanted to play, but after rechecking the list this afternoon her name
is not there and with a clearer mind this evening, I recalled that I haven't
seen any posts from her in the last 24 hours. Therefore it looks like it is
just Australia versus the US. I had a look at a few of the questions this
afternoon and although some of them have a distinctly Aussie flavour, most of
them are of international appeal - therefore there's no reason we can't play
the game more in accordance with the original rules but selecting topics by
more direct means than the role of a dice. There remains only one other
problem, I can think of...... who gets to ask the questions? I could take
a sideline seat and ask all the questions, but I want to play to. :-( How
many of you have the game on hand? Perhaps those who have, may be able to
take turns at asking the questions. Let me know how you want to play?

Here is the list of players in order, so far:-

 Anne Burton Harwell <harwell@TENET.EDU>
 Entropy Warrior <AUSBROOK@UCS.INDIANA.EDU>
 Carolyn Baird <lncjb@wombat.newcastle.edu.au>

to be more explicit if they want to be included.

I used to do this for a living.  (Yes, I was actually *paid* to look at the
sky and see how nice it was, and measure rain and snow, etc.  One of my
favorite jobs in this life.)  We had a snow board away from any buildings so as
to get a true reading.  It was measured every 24 hours, then the board had to
be swept clean for the next measurement.  When the wind was blowing while it
was snowing, an 'educated' guess was supposed to be made as to how much snow
would have piled up if it had all landed where it was supposed to.  The
snow board was a 3' by 3' wooden platform sitting on the ground.  Measuring
was done by sticking a ruler into the snow.

By Wednesday we'll have 1.36GB for 10 Mac users, including 100MB set
aside for mail. I have already removed the size limitation on enclosures
from the mailer, and after the 1.2GB goes online, I'll remove any size
restrictions that might still exist from the message file itself, and stop
hammering people about deleting old messages that are hogging valuable
disk space. Yes, it is good to be the lan designer.
