 I think the Noo Yawk accent is dissapearing as it is. I'm from the

Well, agreed, but only if you're talking exit-to-exit.  It sometimes takes
me more than 7-10 minutes just to get down Hoosick St to the bridge.

But I think we're missing a more important question here:

   Look at it this way, what does Upstate NY (defn:everything in NY except NYC
   and LI) gain by keeping NYC?  

   They use upstate water, natural gas, LOTS of electrical power, and *LOTS*
   of tax dollars!  What benefit does upstate NY gain from NYC? 


   nothing.
   -------

Well, not nothing. The population advantage of the NYC Metro area inflates
the congressional delegation, which means that they can argue more
effectively for more federal aid which to some (not all, I'll grant) ends
up being spent upstate. I'd think that cutting NYC off is assuring that the
congressional delegation of "Iroquois" would have no clout to speak of,
leading to a lessing of federal pork for the region.

My humble $0.02

 I don't get it.  I hear everyone complaining about the Albany County Airport.
It is no O'Hare field, but it does the job, doesn't it ?  The only
inconvenience, if you can call it that, is that some of the gates do not
have ramps, so you have to walk 30 feet to the side of the airplane
and climb up the stairs.
  Compare it with the Schenectady County Airport, and you will see
that the Albany County Airport is really a major airport. :-)

In fact, New York is known for some very dry wines.  Try a Reisling.
I live just a couple of miles from Casa Larga Vineyards on Turk Hill
Road, just south of Fairport.  They also sell a wine called
Geweurtztraminer (or something like that) which is a little more expensive
($9.50 per bottle), but it's my favorite.  It's not quite as dry as the
Reisling, but I don't like the sweet wines, and the G-wine is still OK.

Well, since it seems that most of the people on this group seem to think
that it would be beneficial, I think this is a good question.  This is 
one responce from someone who seems to think the opposite is true, although
the response is more of a flame then a clear response.

So, do you think NYC supports western new york?  anybody have facts on this?

Lets see, someone stated that %40 of funds goes to downstate, well, about %50
of the people live there, so that is good, well, about right anyway.

It seems to me that states that are similar in demographics to Western NY
have lower taxes then NY, which was just reported highest in the nation!
Perhaps it is the ozone problem in NYC that is costing money.

Here's my two cents.  Anything "up" from where your reference is 
is upstate!  Most non-New Yorkers think only of NYC, so the appropriate
response can be: I'm from up-state, or from western NY, etc.
It's entirely possible to describe a place in more than one way. Up-state
is just more generic than western, southern tier, etc.
I grew up in and near Buffalo, and have worked in Rochester.  When I was
in grade school, my musical instrument instructor got to play in an ensemble on
the Tonight Show (back in the 70's) once. Johnny said they were from 
Up-State NY. That was good enough for me.

Also, since I'm now in California, having this group is AWESOME!
Keep it coming. Anyone who thinks it doesn't belong should shove off, eh!

Yes, this is a nice group and I am living in the DC area

but in order to be employed I had to trek out here.  I miss
it, but at least I get to visit it quite often.

This discussion finally tripped the nostalgia circuit in my
brain.  I have to admit that my Buffalo geography is a little
rusty but was (is?) Salvatore's Italian Gardens in Cheektowaga?
If it wasn't it should have been.  Truly tacky!!  There's nothing
like it in the Universe.  [For those people in the greater-Boston
area, imagine the cow heards at Hilltop Steakhouse but replace the
cows with cheap imitations of Roman statuary, trellisses and every
God-awful piece of tacky garbage you could cram into a restaurant's
"garden".]  There was also a shop only a few blocks from Salvatore's
which sold all of the Cheektowaga-required lawn items (flamingos,
big colored shiny balls on pedastals, jockeys with lanterns, etc.)
What was the name of that place?  


Ah Buffalo.  My favorite memories are of those times when everyone
living in the apartment we had on Elmwood would go out for a fancy
dinner - two pizzas from the Bocci Club consumed in the Bocci Club's
parking lot - and then on to Antoinette Sweets for dessert.

It gets no finer!

Okay music fans, let's hear it for the Great, Great House of Guitars (hop,hop)!
For those of you not from western NY this place puts any Tower/Strawberries/
Sam Goodies to shame. The place was started back in 1964 as a small music store
and has long ago expanded into one of the largest music outlets in the free 
world. They have ~4 million albums/CD's crammed into a room covered with sigs
and memorobilia from any artist ever to pass through the area. They also have
an incredible selection of instruments, amps, etc. enough to overwhelm any
budding young rock star.  

But...the best part of the place are the TV commercials. If you're in the
Rochester area and watching TV for more than 15 minutes you'll probably see one
of their gonzo commercials. They have been producing cool, bizarre music ads
long before MTV ever hit the airwaves. They even used to have the fan mail/
hate mail about the ads put up all over the store.

No matter what kind of music you're into you gotta check this place out
645 Titus Ave. Irondequoit (north of Rochester). Have fun...

(I'm the Easter Bunny, hop hop)

Interesting idea, Jim...

But you should probably take everything in Massachusetts west of Springfield
and put it in whichever of these New York puppies gets Albany (Adirondack?), 
because nobody in Massachusetts believes there's anything west of Springfield, 
anyways (besides which, that section of Mass is as conservative as central New 
York State -- I always feel rather like I'm still in Cooperstown when I go out
there.  It's very much unlike the easternmost reaches of Mass, which are 
more liberal, and Pittsfield and their neighbors would probably feel more
at home as part of Adirondack...)

	I love the liberty that they give you with the guitars and 
amps. At most music stores, they watch over you all the time when you 
have an instrument in hand, they don't appreciate you turning it up 
too loud, etc.

	I remember the one time, I saw a Gibson SG and a 6/12 that I 
wanted to try. I asked the guy... sure, no problem, took both out. 
Asked me what kind of amp I usually play through. I told him a 
Pignose, but I would like to try it through a Mesa Boogie. Sure, no 
problem, step here in back, I'll get the amp guy to set you up. And 
then they take off. After about 45 minutes I had to hunt the guys down 
to put the stuff back.

Oh sure, I used to go to Sal's a lot.  Sal suddenly turned into a real jerk
when about 25 friends of mine all went over there for wings.  He got upset
because we were taking up too much space and kicked us out.  Great business
sense.

I still think DiPaolo's are better - mostly because they have more meat on
them.  I don't really like hot wings, just meaty.

Probably.  I wonder why they don't (or can't) lock him up in a bin.

First, I gotta say this newsgroup makes the world feel mighty small to me:
Genny Cream Ale, Trinkus Manor burning (I can still here those radio ads), 
Mike Weisberg (yeah, I went to high school with him--his sister was in my 
class). It's been a while since I've been to DeWitt, but it all comes back...

But to get back to the subject at hand...

Mom has finally decided to enter the computer age and buy a PC clone (this
despite my evangelising the virtues of the Mac). Can anyone out there suggest
a good discount computer store (or stores) in Central NY where she might get
a better price than what they're quoting her at Lechmere? She's afraid of 
mail-order and I don't know of a Fry's East in her area. 

e-mail me direct. Mom says "thanks."
