     Do you mean about how officers posted to these schools must not
be that good?  That if they can't maintain discipline among these
boys, how could you ever expect them to do anything with men?

     I do not hold that view, but the postings and posturing that
appear to be coming from VMI do lead me to believe that the cadets
view the obstacle course more as an intellectual challenge than a
physical one.

Subject:      Explosion & game question

We had an explosion here about 90 minutes ago - seems to be the Texaco refinery
about 15 miles south of here. I was sitting upstairs reading my email (what
else?) when my two 6ft-high windows started shaking like crazy. Didn't feel
like an earthquake though - at first I thought it might be that secret "spy
plane" (aka "Aurora") which is apparently causing those sonic booms we get
every once in a while.

Karsten *must* have felt this - I think he lives in Redondo or Manhattan Beach,
both of which are very close to Torrance.

Anyway, what I really wanted to ask was, have any of you heard of a computer
game called SimCity? I'm not really into computer games, but this one sounds
like fun. You can "create a city from scratch or try to solve the problems of
a built-in metropolis" which have "a specific problem to solve in a set amount
of time". Rio de Janeiro, for example has flooding caused by global warming.
Mayors who fail are driven out of town, by their own mothers! :-). It sounds
pretty realistic (except for the part about being driven out of town by your
own mother!) and is apparently being used in political science and urban
planning programs, and even with real mayors.

I can now see a faint cloud of smoke through my window, from here in West LA.
Just heard it was a hydrogen sulfite (sulfide?) explosion - and only 6 minor
injuries, fortunately. But it should smell bad tomorrow, and the air may even
be a darker shade of brown! ;-)

Don't overrate him, Natalie--he had notes; they all had notes.
Gore was the only one who didn't look at them, though.  Does anyone know
about debating experience of the candidates?  I wonder if Gore was a college

Subject: Craig Shergold


 This just in - FCC official Craig Shergold has announced new regulations
to add a fee to phone lines used for telecommunication, including bulletin
boards and public network services.  Critics say he is still bitter from
a childhood experience during which he was buried underneath several tons
of get-well cards, largely due to the well-meaning efforts of computer
users all over the world, and this has sparked his current crackdown.

Everyone reading this message would be affected by a tax on modem lines!
It's vital that we make ourselves heard, and stop this FCC ruling.
Please, forward this message to as many bulletin boards and services
as you can, and encourage everyone you know to sign petitions against this
plan.  Send them to Mr. Shergold at the FCC in Washington, DC.

I recently read somewhere that Ken Olson retired as president of DEC.  It
brought to mind a quote of his that actually makes me wonder why he didn't
retire in 1980.

        "There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in their
         home."  (Ken Olson, President, Digital Equipment, 1977)

Perhaps this also explains the underwhelming presence of DEC in the current
home computer market. :)

Graham's advice to enter 'set escape @' solved my problem.  I'm gonna put
that in a macro.  That reminds me.  Did I ever report that I found the
solution to mouse debris on screen in DESQviewX?  Somebody on comp.os.
desqview wrote a program to get rid of cursor mark.  It's freeware.  I
ftp'ed it from wustl, and now when loading DV (which I load via autoexec.bat
since I always use it -- at home, that is) I enter 'zap' and the mouse
garbage vanishes.  (The 'zap' is my own batch file -- I find it easier
to enter 'zap' than to enter something like 'xcursr'.)

Welcome back, Mama.


--ggs:

     Now I know you don't read my postings.  Earlier commentary had
noted that my choices were between Alexandria (actually the N.E.
corner of the Arlington Blvd. exit on the Beltway) and Atlanta.  I may
be living within a couple of blocks of the office, but am not sure yet.


abh, Natalie, Doris, Nancy, et al:

     Had I the time, I would be more than happy to take a <small>
<shortcut> and see you, but I fear the Army and my company would take
a <dim view> of such dalliances.  Another time, perhaps.


     Having reviewed a road atlas, the two primary contenders are Neal
and Brad.  Since the quoted number of miles from here to D.C. and what
I have calculated are somewhat different (>100 miles in their favor),
I need to check with my employer about <what is going on>.  I expect
to be able to report more sometime late Wednesday.  My current (rough)
plan is to drive through to St. Louis on the first day so that I can
relax and visit during the next two days.  All of this depends on when
I leave and what kind of vehicle I acquire in the meantime.

     I am currently taking a 4-hour course at Metro, a course on C at
work (just finished one on UNIX and ETIP), finishing an incomplete
from last Fall, wrangling how I will finish my degree without being
here, and trying to get ready to move (pack, plan, say good-byes), so
my WORDS-L time is a bit constrained.  I will continue to ftp the
Archives and read what I can, but I make no guarantees of responses to
anything not sent directly to me.

Enjoy,

Hmmmmm.  Gives new meaning to the term "fathead", doesn't it?

Btw, did any of the rest of you think about the contrast between Clinton's
letter and the recent babblings of the VMI kiddies?  I realize that Clinton
was a couple of years older than they are and that the letter was written
for a different audience.  I couldn't help comparing them, though.  I doubt
very much that the VMI clowns will ever have the depth to write such a letter.
Sort of like many Republicans, who refer to the letter as a skeleton in
Clinton's closet.  I think it's a beautiful letter.

Well, here I sit empty-handed.  I think the mail people understand
what a <prize> this package is.  I must admit I am very puzzled and
very curious.  I hope it shows tomorrow or I will have terrible
weekend.

Greetings, Dan,

I bet you're right about WSJ meaning Wall Street Journal, but I did
recently post a message about my favorite talk show host, David Paul, who
works the late shift on WSJ 750 AM in Atlanta.
