Yes I like it in Australia, but I'd prefer to live in America. How do you like America? Seen any great movies lately, that haven't come out here? If they are new in America then I'll probably see them next year, that's how long it takes for new releases to come to Australia. Anyway, it's nice chatting to you (well the computer version of you).        catch you later

Dear Sergey,
            Hi! How are you? It's a pity you don't watch the Olympics, actually it's not such a pity. Sports aren't my favourite past-time either. Although I go to the gym twice a week to work out. Don't get me wrong I'm not really fit, even though I'm getting better. So, what are your hobbies? And you never told me how old you are.

G'day John,

That poem was so delightful to find in the packet I downloaded this
morning. Yours? Or whose ever it was, has he been published here in the
States? If not, how can I get some of his poetry.

I'm assuming that the poet is an established, published writer. A
priest, did I read in a previous message? I'd love to see more of his
work. Can you tell some more about him?

Are you a teacher or a student? I graduated from school quite some time
ago, but I still consider myself a student. In any event, please tell me
about your school.

The band I play with was down there in 1988 for Expo, so I got to see
some of the country and liked it very much. We actually did get to
play at the Expo in Brisbane on July 4, which is our Independence
Day.  I thought that was a nice touch. Would have liked to get to know
some of the people more, though. You can't see a whole lot in 15-18
days, and that's all the time we had for both New Zealand and Australia.

Can't do much about making new friends that way either. Write back if
you're in the mood.

Regards, Barbara

Hi John!!  
I teach elementary school in Helena, Montana.  I am also on a committee that is making a Technology plan for our School District, so I am trying to learn more about computers.  I took a computer home for the summer with a modem and am just hooked up to METNET, a Montana network.  I read the Language Arts Echo because it's interesting.  What about you??  Are you a teacher??  I'd love to go to Australia sometime, but I heard women aren't very well respected there.  Is that true??  Not that women are always 




very well respected in America either!!!  But've heard that they don't have the same rights as men always.  I'd still like to visit because it sounds like a beautiful place.  I've known several teachers who have taught over there and they loved their experiences.  Tell me more about you!!

Roger,
Thanks for bringing the message to my attention.
Please move subsequent messages to either netmail or a zone3
K12 echo, as it will be off the topic here. In response to
your message, then -

In fact, K12 has been very slow getting off the ground here.
I have been putting what time in to it that I can, but it is a 
spare time pursuit.  I have tried to get maximum coverage by 
feeding the media.

A recent article in an education journal brought a breakthrough.
A group of 18 schools that have PC's and modems, refer to your:
 RB> Aus<->NZ.  We were told that modems are virtually non existant in NZ
 RB> schools and that telecommunication costs within NZ are fairly high.
 RB> Is this correct?
have been trying to get communications to ONE SCHOOL in Perth going
via Telecom's Starnet. The K12 article opened their eyes to what the
real potential is, and they are about to come on board.

I got another call from a sysop representing two more schools, and 
they look likely to come in as well.  As far as comms costs go,
I have IBM's help there. IBM pays for K12's full set to come across
from Geoff's feed direct to this machine.  IBM also allows me to use
the leased voice lines between Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch
during the night. That means that K12 is available from the three
main centres at local phone call costs, and that rural areas have a
minimum distance phone call.

I hope that answers your questions.

Yes, I'm a teacher, the Co-ordinator for computer studies at a Christian Brothers School for boys, grades 8 through to 12.

You should by now, have seen my potted history that I inserted on becoming the 'official moderator' for this echo.

Yes, we're a friendly mob. :-)    I was in Brisbane this year for our ANZAC Day celebrations, I marched in the ANZAC parade, with members of the Queensland Royal Air Force Association. A great feeling.

I'm off to visit my mother in NZ in September, for two weeks (end of term holidays). She and my step-father migrated to NZ from the UK. They were both in their 70's at the time!

Hey John, there are a few of us here.  I'm a computer teacher K-8 in a
little town about 60 miles (about 90KM?) north of Seattle.  I'll probably
have some kids that will want to trade notes with yours if you're a
teacher, in a month or two.  Interested?

 Otherwise, I like to spend time in the mountains, and spend far too much
time on BBS stuff, but it keeps the mind alive. Isn't Green Island out
there by you?  Went diving there once way back in '64 on my way "home" to
the US from high school in Japan.  Met a character named Fred ___, who put
sparklers in a boomerang and threw it for me so I could take a time
exposure and show their flight path.

Ever been over this way?  What's your thing?  What's ooroo? Sounds like an
aboriginal greeting.  How's the economy downunder?  Bad as here?  Thanks
for the poetry  ...Tom

John O'Brien continued.

There is a delightful story of him when he went back to Europe for a holiday.

He was travelling on a train in England in his clerical garb. A lady engaged him in conversation and when she heard his speach, asked him if he was from Australia. When he confirmed that he was, she told him of a writer of beautiful poetry she had been reading called John O'Brien. He was from Australia, had he read any of his poetry? He replied, that he hadn't!

John: I want to thank you for those poems you've been uploading,
and add my plea to keep 'em coming. And in return, I'd like to
share some poetry you and your classes might be interested in from
another overlooked and poorly circulated source. Song lyrics were
too minimized in poetry study when I was a student. (Do any English
classes today talk about Rap? I loved it when I first heard it, but
most recent examples are too gutterish...) Some sub-cultures have
their own musical and lyrical styles that the mainstream never
hears, or even guesses exists. The most notable (IMHO) is the Filk
tradition of Science Fiction Fans. Even without the music, they
make good poetry. For example:
 
                  F i r e   I n   T h e   S k y
                                                     by Jordin Kare
 
Prometheus, they say, brought god's fire down to man
And we've caught it, tamed it, trained it since our history began
Now we're going back to heaven just to look him in the eye,
And there's a thunder 'cross the land, and a fire in the sky!
 
Gagarin was the first, back in nineteen sixty-one
When like Icarus, undaunted, he climbed to reach the sun
And he knew he might not make it, for it's never hard to die
But he lifted off the pad and rode a fire in the sky!
 
Yet a higher goal was calling, and we vowed to reach it soon,
And we gave ourselves a decade to put fire on the Moon
And Apollo told the world, "We can do it if we try,"
For there was one small step, and a fire in the sky!
 
Then two decades from Gagarin, twenty years to the day
Came a shuttle named Columbia to open up the way
And though they said she's just a truck,
                                   she's a truck that's aiming high
Hear her big jets rumble, see her fire in the sky!
 
Yet the gods do not give lightly of the power they have made
And with Challenger and seven, once again the price is paid
For a nation watched her falling, and the world could only sigh
As they passed them up to glory riding fire in the sky.
 
Now the rest is up to us. There's a future to be won.
We must turn our faces outward. We will do what must be done.
For no cradle lasts forever. Every bird must learn to fly,
And we're going to the stars. See our fire in the sky.
 
Yes, we're going to the stars. See our fire in the sky.
 
 
[The song was originally written for the first shuttle launch, with
the Columbia verse in present tense. The Challenger verse was added
by Jordin later.  TTYL.  %)  Owen K.]

TW>Ever been over this way?

Back in 1954, I was in the British Mercahnt Navy and had a voyage from
Calcutta to Tampa FL. In those days currency was hard to get hold of and
when we arrived in Old Tampa, our shipping agent couldn't get us any US
dollars, so we were stuck on board. We were tied up to a wharf loading
phosphates (I think) for Antwerp in Belgium. So one afternoon I walked
down the gangway and onto the wharf, walked along the wharf until I got
to dry land, walked a few feet, turned back and went back on board ship.
Yes! I have been 'over your way'

TW>What's ooroo? Sounds like an aboriginal.

See earlier msg. No, I don't think that it is an aboriginal greeting.

TW>How's the economy downunder? Bad as here?

Yes! As bad as yours and most people here, say it is caused by yours!

"Home Burial"!  Why couldn't I think of that.  I didn't think it was by 
Frost because his poetry is so pastoral and this is almost disturbing.  Don't 
you think?  Now that you gave me the name I looked it up in good old Norton's 
Anthology and lo and behold, there it is.  Thanks a million.  How are you 
making out with your conferencing plans?  Was my Rief info any help?

John
