It has kermit--but like I said, I can't download binary files intact,
and neither can anyone else I talked to.  The Computer Services people
are going to try, one day RSN. (To be a little fairer to the CS people,
they are grossly understaffed.)  We did check to see that I had set the
switches correctly (I did).

Well, it sounds like the IRC Nat hosted last evening was not spectacular. Let's
not make tonight's swim in the Big Pond a similar experience. Remember, channel
#bandwidth opens tonight at 7:00 Central time. All you lurkers out there, this
is a pain-free, obligation-free way of losing lurker status and bellying up to
the Bandwidth Bar. And all you more confirmed BWP's, this will be *the* party
on the net tonight.

Hope to see you there!

I do hate IBM mainframes (based on my very limited experience with them,
of course).  TN3270 is on my own computer.  I use it when I turn my computer
into something sort of like a node on the campus net -- except via the
phone line.  I start 'slip' (a packet driver) and then use tn3270.  I was
using it last night to ftp some stuff from Ra to my computer and then
continued using it when playing around in IRC because that way I could
have multiple logins and thus be multiple personalities on IRC.  But QEMM
doesn't like tn3270.  Things will work fine for a while, and suddenly the
computer will freeze, with an error message saying something about QEMM.
The only way out of it is to reboot the computer.  Most annoying.  When
I stumble upon some more RAM somewhere, I may change from Desqview/Qemm to
os/2.

A lot is known about how human brain cells work.  Not much is
known about how human brains work.  And virtually nothing is known
about how consciousness is derived from a mass of such cells
working together.

The basic setup of brain cells is that they do have multiple inputs
and one output.  Brain cells are very much slower than transistors,
so a neuron like transistor could be very interesting.

Sounds like a lot of people on the list have the same good taste in

several years) last month.  Now I'm hitting all the dirt roads I can find.
It's a 4x4 Subaru wagon.  I'm having the time of my life with my new toy.

Of course it's useful. After you have spent a couple of hours

   Sounds like a lot of people on the list have the same good taste in
   cars I do. :-)  I just bought my 1st Subaru (after lusting after them for
   several years) last month.  Now I'm hitting all the dirt roads I can find.
   It's a 4x4 Subaru wagon.  I'm having the time of my life with my new toy.

On a serious note, my sister had a crash in our Subaru station wagon (one
year after someone ran a light and pleated the front end for me) that for
all intents and purposes should have killed at least one of the 5 kids in
the car.  The left back tire was up under her (the driver) seat.  She and
the guy in front were wearing seat belts which saved their lives--the 3 in
back were not, which saved theirs, believe it or not (they were thrown up
over the two in front, making room for the car kissing our car's backside).
My sis was the only one who sustained injury (cuts on her face and back of
her head)...the rest were bruised and shaken, but otherwise unmarked.  To
this day I swear by the construction of the Subaru which allowed it to
crumple as it did.  Well, the insurance agency had to admit that we finally
totalled that car (should've totalled it after my accident but they figured
it was reparable...$4000 later I wonder what they thought).  Needless to
say, pop went out to buy a new car, threatening us with a Lincoln
Continental, and came home with a Subaru sedan.  Haycock family luck with
cars: the infamous hailstorm of '89...you got it.  We were the owners of
one very large motorized golfball...another $4000 repair job...took a year.
Four months out of the shop and pop pleats the front end (not his fault, I
hasten to add).  So, back into the shop and a couple of months
later...another hailstorm.  Oh joy.  This time the damage is minor.  We
figure it gives the car character.

>Okay, I *loved* your motorcycle etude, it was superb.  Satisfied?

Wow, I just was not prepared to have anything but derision in response to that
thing. Oh, yeah, I forgot, Ken hasn't said anything yet, not to worry.

>My question was exactly that:  can you say, "I find the literality
>of Tushar's speech wearing at times" and make sense?

Ha! any wordsler worth his salt would know *exactly* what you meant! It's
obvious to note that speech, like writing, can be literal, metaphorical,
allusory, fantastic, etc. The question I'd like answered is whether Tushar is
himself aware of his writing style, if he writes like that because he genuinely
believes that is what should be done, or if he does so out of some finely hewn
sense of humor, a perpetual in-joke between his list persona and his real self.

As I told him this summer at O'Hare, I like him but I will never trust him.

That is one reason I did not want to buy a Mercedes.  Who wants to
infuriate the disadvantaged?  So now I have to announce that the
contest for the best car-buying advice is OVER.  I am now the
proud owner of a lovely silver grey slightly irredescent '91 Miata
with black interior, looks like brand new, and cost considerably
less than the $15K and in addition, a 5 year, 100,000 bumper to
bumper warranty from Toyota (where I bought it) for only $400
additional.  Being a rather understated color, it hardly looks
like a Miata.  OOOOHHHHH, it is so pretty and makes me so happy
I think I could even be nice to ts tonight. Or to -abh.
Anybody want a ride?
