By now, many of you are probably trying to decide what to do for fun this
Thursday night.  Clearly there are only two activities worth considering:
Theatresports and Oktoberfest.

In order to help you make this difficult choice, we've compiled this totally
objective table comparing the various features of each.

        Oktoberfest Has...                        Theatresports Has...

  a full evening of "oompah" music       a full evening of great comedy

  loud, smoke-filled Festhalls           a comfortable, smoke-free environment

  abundant alcohol                       abundant pop and munchies

  women wearing dirndls                  women with some fashion sense   

  men wearing lederhosen                 men with some fashion sense

  The Bird Dance                         The Bird Dance!

  people puking their guts out           people LAUGHING their guts out


Remember, Theatresports performs on Thursday night at 8 pm at "The Studio",
9 Princess Street in Waterloo (between King and Regina).

If that's your experience, you have had a bad GP.  I have much more
positive experiences with my doctor (although I wouldn't claim that
he's perfect) and I suspect others have too.  As for naturopaths,
homeopaths and other such fringe folks, allow me to express some
skepticism.  And in any case, don't they, like physicians, deal more
with treatment than with prevention?

Let me put in a plug here for the "Health Services" clinic here on
campus.  Their emphasis certainly includes prevention and healthy
living, as well as quick, friendly, low-key, willing-to-listen
attention to immediate problems.  You can walk in at any time and see
a nurse within minutes.  There is a popular belief that health services
is only available to students, but this is not true.  As a staff member
I have used the clinic frequently for minor problems and I have always
been well looked after.  On a couple of occasions I was in to see a
physician immediately, when the nurse felt that was necessary.  Of course
in that situation the doctor doesn't know me and can only deal with the
immediate problem.

My problems with finding a GP have been the same as the ones you describe.

Perhaps they have changed their policy about who can see them.  I was
told four years ago that you had to be a faculty member, staff member
or a student to make an appointment with them.

All of the GP's that I've talked to who are accepting patients are either
very inexperienced, too busy, or have very poor bedside manners.  I realize

Probably true that you have to be a faculty member, staff member or
student.  I would assume that most people on campus fall in one of
those categories.  (Yes, I realize this discussion is on kw.general,
but many readers, including jack@watarts, are on campus.)  "Appointments"
is a red herring, though, as health services doesn't require appointments.

1.You just said how many things Waterloo has "spun off."  Plus we don't know
   about some that are outside of the waterloo area.  We also don't know about
   how many companies are infiltrated with many Waterloo grads but couldn't be
   termed "spun off."

2.You mentioned two examples for Waterloo, and two for the U.S.  Even if the 
   U.S. had twenty to our two, they country is ten times they size!

3.California is where 80% of the computer industry is headquarted.  Try getting
   someone there to listen to your idea from up here.  It will be very, very,
   expensive (you will probably have to fly down).

I'd say Canada is doing quite well in the high tech industry...Northern Telecom,ATI, Corel, Alias, Watcom, Maple, Adlib (R.I.P.) etc. etc.

If it is a multi-level market thing, it is a shame.

People should not have to depend on something like that to start a 
business. UW itself is capable of providing the inertia to spawn spinoff
industries. Industries which allow NEW and ORIGINAL things to be created.
Not the selling of someone else's products.

UW has created Waterloo Maple Software and Watcom. And I heard that the
people that designed the QNX real-time OS were from Waterloo.

But did you know that SUN Microsystems was once affiliated with Stanford?
SUN stands for Stanford University Network.

Wolfram Research was started by Stephen Wolfram formerly at the University
of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (I think).

My question: Why are the Americans better at creating spin-offs? What are
we doing wrong? What are they doing right?
