I'm not surprised either, since you don't really want discussion, you
just want to play your own version of mouse trap, and other people aren't
interested.

If you really want discussion about respect for deeply held beliefs,
and whether it is bigotry to mock such beliefs, even when they are
repugnant to all commonly held standards of humanity, then go to your
supreme court and look at all the discussions about upholding the right
to free speech. Personally, I don't see what there is to discuss. It's
a matter of values. Either you choose to respect or you don't. If you
don't then you can't expect anyone else to respect what you hold dear.

What interests me is how religion has become the new taboo.
Those good, old fashioned Anglo-Saxon earthy words which the Normans
made vile in their attempts to denigrate the people they had
"conquered," words like fuck, and shit, and cunt, are now becoming
commonplace, but let anyone express religious sentiments in an everyday
context, and this new puritanism shows its head. It's rather amusing.

I rather suspect what the reply is going to be, but I won't spoil the
game. Go ahead.

Bien sur!  They're both racetracks.  New Orleans Fairgrounds:  1751 Gentilly
Blvd.  It's about ten minutes from downtown.  Good food as well as good racing.
The New Evangeline Downs:  Interstate 49, north of Lafayette.  Racing from
early April through Labor Day.  Good cajun food.  (Btw, if asking directions
to Lafayette, Louisiana, be sure to pronounce the first syllable as "laugh."
And if looking for Lafayette County, Mississippi, home of Gerald Walton, be
sure to stress the second syllable, which rhymes with "hay.")

That was the same here. When the boys were younger I had to order them out of

most of her free-time outside jumping on her trampoline or playing with the

The foil sounds as if it has definite possibilities...I'll look for it
next year.  One way I do save money (well, all right, a *little* money) is
by not buying tags for the packages for the family.  This all started a
long time ago when I forgot to buy any one year...I just assigned each
person in the family one kind of wrapping paper and wrapped all gifts in
that pattern...it worked great! (Well, except for the year that I forgot
which pattern belonged to which person...)  It was also useful in keeping
small people from knowing which packages were theirs, because I didn't
reveal the code until Christmas.

Like abh said, the best deal is through the school.  The only people who
can get Macs cheaper are Apple employees and Certified Developers.  (BTW,
if you can afford to new IIvx, I'd go for that, but the IIsi is still
great too.)  You didn't mention a printer; if you were thinking about the
StyleWriter, don't buy it now, because there will be a StyleWriter II out
around the end of February that will supposedly run at twice the speed
(two whole pages per minute) for the same price.

As for the modem, try to get a copy of the November '92 MacUser, which has
a long article comparing all the latest high-speed modems.  They rated the
Supra FaxModem 14.4 as the all-around best-bang-for-the-buck.  I currently
own the PowerUser 2400, which is the same as the 9600 except it's about
two years older...it runs just fine, but it's rather cheaply constructed
(it's an OEM modem, sold under about 3 billion different brand names), is
pretty bare-bones, and the included software bites.

You often see a lot of bitching on the Net about problems with the Supra,
but 99% of it seems to be caused by users not knowing how to properly
configure a modem with a lot of features tucked inside it.  Don't let
anything you read like that sway you away from it.

I would argue that you add 10% after hearing it a second time, first hearing
being the 90% done in your head.

We need some way for music to go grom our head to the paper/sequencer, something
that can work has fast has the human brain, hear what we hear, and transcribe
it to any medium.  :-)

    There is a book called _Elements of Computer Music_ by Richard
Moore, who, I believe, was one of the creators of cmusic.
About 1/3 of the book is dedicated to cmusic examples and explanations.
(BTW, the other two thirds are also quite interesting). The book was
published by Prentice-Hall a couple years ago. Richard Moore is a
professor at University of California in San Diego, and UCSD actually
sells (or at least, used to sell) cmusic along with some other computer
music stuff. That's all I know.
