  I'm just curious to know if their are any places in Etobicoke
  that sell the U.S.A. Today.I know they sell it downtown and at
  Kipling Station but it's too far for me to go just to get it
  for only a couple days a week.

I heard from some friends who attend U. of T. that there is an outdoor club
there. Does anyone have information on it? What are the fees? Do you have to
be a U. of T. student?

The type of activities I am interested in are hiking, cycling, cross-country
skiing, camping, etc.

Please e-mail any info. Thanks.

Why in the world would you want an AST?  These boards were THE most
unreliable pieces of junk I've ever had to deal with!  I've got about
a dozen rattling around in a cardboard box.  I don't know if any have
the 16650's or not, I think some do.  I really wouldn't wish that kind
of grief on anybody but if you are really determined drop me a note.

today, i attended an IBM announcement about their additions to the PS/2 line.

the main thrusts were:

new models
lower prices
OS/2
lower prices
OS/2
helpware

with regards to the new models, they have announced some 28 additions
replacements.  25 of the 28 models are basically shuffled version of previous
machines with faster processors, more memory (8 meg is their standard now)
and defining SCSI as the standard drive interface.

the other three are ISA machines, again nothing wonderful, although i quipped
that it was nice to see IBM selling IBM-compatible equipment again. 8^)

they had a presentation about OS/2 LAN management software, SNMP, CMIP, etc.
actually this portion was quite good.  the rest was basically sales pitch.

IBM is now offering a 3 year on-site warranty with some of their boxes,
and has set up a support arm, Helpware, that looks like it would be useful
to supplement helpdesk type support groups.

IBM appears to be getting very aggressive about pricing, although they did not
relase any pricing on the new ISA machines.

after the presentations, i had the opportunity to discuss MicroChannel/EISA
with an IBM rep standing at a demo booth.

now, mind you, the demo booth had a micro channel box and an ISA box, and
they were illustrating that MicroChannel was faster than ISA.

Big surprise.

i got into a "discussion" with the rep, and towards the end i asked if IBM was
going to do an EISA box.  he said no, why would we want to do that, we have 
MicroChannel.

i asked if they were going to loosen up the licensing on MicroChannel so that
it was easier for third party developers to make new adapters.

he said why should we spend money developing something and give it away?

i said because we are in an industry that wants standardization, and it would
be a good thing.

then i walked away before i reached out and slapped him in the forehead.

by and large, it was interesting to see IBM come out with more support for 
ISA, but at the same time, i feel that it is strickly a marketing gimmick
as there is no 32 bit upgrade path for the ISA machines, except to go with
the IBM proprietary MicroChannel boxes.

as i normally see things from IBM, they are "strategic directions", in this
case i think it is more along the lines of "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em."

CITY *does* censor movies, just not as much as most.  This was discussed in
the papers recently.

Seems to me misc.consumers would be a better choice of net-wide group

Another sometimes useful discriminator is that legitimate contests
here have to state the probability of winning, though sometimes they
are legitimately able to get around it by stating "the odds depend
on the number of entries received".

The particular "contest" being described reminds me very much of
one that I got an "entry" for about a month or two ago.  I didn't
keep it, so I can't specify who was involved, but it was from a
health club; it asked me to scratch an area and if there were three
palm trees revealed, that meant a trip to Hawaii.  So I scratched
it, and sure enough, there were three palm trees revealed.

I inspected the fine print and found this typographical gem:

	Chance of winning 1/1 500000 printed

No punctuation after that nice little fraction 1/1!  Enough said.

We were lucky at that, though.  Consider that many who advocate metric
measure also want the convention that large numbers are written with
commas between "thousands groups" in English to change so that spaces
are used instead.  Now, if it had said "500 000 printed"...

Hi,

A friend of mine without access to the net is in immediate need of a
garage to park her car for the winter (until the end of April) at a
reasonable rate.

Proximity to York University would be a plus, but not necessary.
Prefer private or shared garage at someone's house (e.g. not apartment
garage).

please respond to my account

hal@nexus.yorku.ca

or preferably call me at 650-9942 and leave a message.

Thanks

Hi,

Someone here is looking for an answering machine with facsimilie and
speaker-phone capability. Automatic switching between voice and fax,
auto-redial and programmability are desirable. Can anyone recommend
anything along this line? BTW, for those who watched the Bell commercials,
I definitely want a visible one in this case :-) Please reply by email
so that you won't be flamed for advertising on the net. Thanks in advance.

Andy

York U Computing Services runs a computing help centre.  If
it has to do with computers and computing at York, call the help
centre.  As someone already suggested, a phone call will go a long
way.

The York University HelpDesk phone number is (416) 736-5800.  Give
them a call and ask them for help; it's what they are paid for.

A friend of mine has "won" a trip to Hawaii and we're wondering if this
is legitimate or if it is a scam. I'd appreciate it if anybody who KNOWS
would reply (replies by people who actually took them up on this would be
greatly appreciated).

The trip was part of a package from a local health club Fitness Connection
at 900 Don Mills Rd, although the return address on the envelope containing
the Hawaii information says L&R Fitness Ent. Ltd., 900 Don Mills Rd.

The deal was that, if one joined the health club for a "free" membership
costing $250 one won a free trip for two to Hawaii (airfare only). According
to the brochure, one had to stay at a particular hotel for at least 7 days.
Checking in a guide book, the hotel actually exists and is listed as a 4 star
hotel costing about $US 115 a night.

One has to book the deal through a particular travel agent :
Vacation America! (the exclamation point is part of the name) at 7320
Griffin Road, Suite 105, Davie, Florida 33314.  They are registered with the
state of Florida as a Seller of Travel, Registration #10058

The deal is $69.50 per person per night. There is some fine print "Based on
double occupancy, run of house, and rates year round" which I also don't
understand. All communication has to be done with the travel agent, it all
has to be arranged at least 60 days in advance (and paid for 45 days in
advance) etc.

So, it looks like for about $US1000 one gets 2 airfares and 7 nights
accomodation in a good Hawaii hotel. This seems a little too good to be true
(and so, probably, is).

As far as we can tell this isn't the normal situation where you pay $1000
for something worth only $800. So, it would seem to be either actually worth
something (presumably the health club is willing to spend something to get
new members) or it is an outright scam (the Travel Agent will go bankrupt
the week before the trip and you lose the $1000). Being more than a touch
sceptical, we suspect the latter. However, sometimes one does get honest to
goodness bargains and I'd like to be convinced that this is one.

Has anybody had experience with this? Does anybody know how, exactly,
everybody is making money off it? Is this indeed too good to be true?
