They work differently, maybe [haven't used Windows enough to know all the
tricks] but they're both for people who can't handle command lines.

Chris, do you have Seasonal Affective Disorder or something?  I's say it was
PMS, but you don't have the right chromosones.  You're quite welcome, but
bow a little lower next time; then I'll be able to see that cute little
butt crack while you're at it....

I've used all of the ones you mentioned, plus a few you haven't.  If you
had gotten enough sleep last night, and enough coffee this morning, you 
wouldn't have made quite so nasty a crack.  This doesn't work on my any more
Chris; I've been immunized.

You're right.  I either need to employ more vigorous evasions or leap
into the issue.  The problem is that my interests and energies now are
focused on more important matters like whether to put the frozen cheese
ball into the lower part of the refrigerator today or wait till tomorrow

and use its stand for food/drink, and when to feed another aspirin to the
xmas tree water.

Not necessarily.  Somebody not actively interesting can become at least
mildly interesting when the passive boringness is intruded upon by an
interesting catalyst.

Both.  Somebody with a predisposition toward boringness can become a bit
more interesting if thrown into an environment of e.g. John Donne's poetry.

Already broken, but it'll have to be just plain O, mixed with
Standard.  It's screwed to the plywood and already wired up; it just needs
some debugging before the trains can run on it.  Too bad the trains are in

I lost track of who it is who wants to start a fan club list for
Christiane Amanpour of CNN:
there she was just now on the early evening news (The World Today)
- holding up a kerosene lantern next to her face so she could be seen
and giving her report over a telephone. Very dramatic.
It's apparently been a rather rough day, even the generators
had been been drowned out in an unusual downpour. She is a real trooper.

I got mail from .su the other day that was a fascinating pile of strange
characters.  I sent it to FWP asking him whether he had any idea what it was.
His response was that it was probably something written in Russian that
might have been readable if (1) it had made it through the gateway intact
(which it didn't), (2) my computer could handle Russian characters (which
it can't), and (3) I could read Russian (which I can't).  I wonder whether
it was from the same person.

There are days when I dial in three or four times a session, because the
dumb line noise drops the carrier two or three times before I finally give up.
It's annoying; it's even cut me of during telnet sessions....:-(

At least I don't have that nasty problem; all the local calls are free,
except for the monthly fee just for having service.  SNET [aka SNOT] does
have an option like you're describing, but given the amount of time this house
spends playing with dial tones, the monthly charge is cheaper.

  I haven't used Windows myself, but the usual comments are that it is

The latest news (heard in a party political speech for the Liberal Party
tonight) is that if they win the next election, then they will sell Telecom
to private enterprise for 21 billion dollars and are guaranteeing everyone
cheaper phone charges. They are also trying to win votes by saying they will
overrule the State Electricity Authorities and force them to charge less for
power..... without a doubt, they are trying to make up for their faux pas in
recommending a GST on all goods... their popularity dropped dramatically, so
they have now revised their policy and have agreed to eliminate food and
childcare from the GST.... bloody big-hearted of them, I don't think! :-(

He's the guy that runs the UGA Listserv.  You should like him...he's a
hell of a nice guy.

        Sounds about right for a Mac cable.  I presume you've had lots of
        opportunity to work with the Digicom by now.  Still pleased with it?
        Any significant shortcomings?

Nope, quite happy with it.  Seems to have an advantage over the Rockwell-based
machines in that it actually manages to connect if called to by a USR.  My
Twincom at work never did.
