That's also on the high end. Disregarding the initial cost of the car
(after all, if it's giving good service otherwise, who cares how little
you paid for it), a big job like this deserves at least two estimates,
neither of which I would be inclined to go to Sears for. It is possible
to trash rotors even if the calipers are seized, but if they're locked
on, you'd get all kinds of stink and pulling to one side (most likely),
and if they're locked off, you'd get incredibly leisurely stops using
only the rear brakes. You don't say what prompted you to bring the car
in for service in the first place, but I assume you were not aware of
any horrendous problems. (If the calipers WERE seized, the back brakes
were doing all the work and probably DO need replacing, btw.)

> Just when you thought it was safe to go back to SEARS AUTOMOTIVE !!!

Technically, I believe they've dropped their commission plan already,
but maybe the mechanics are still thinking in the old ways. Go to a
couple of local places, wherever your friends recommend, and ask for
new estimates. They probably will be inclined to let you under the car
to see for yourself. My preferred local place, which may be a bit far
from you, is Arlington Standard, at Arlington Heights Road and Central
Road in Arlington Heights; phone number is (708) 259-1457.

Would some of our IBT or ATT brethren shed some light on why the 591-
exchange numbers in Chicago (and other high-volume exchanges in other
cities) are always so busy.  Q101 hardly ever has _all_ the incoming
lines lit (except when we futz with Robert Murphy's schedule :-) ) but
I do get frequent complaints that "your lines are always busy."  They're
_not_, doggone it.  Maybe the system for handling high volume calls needs
to be redesigned in some way.

Of course, even with a few dozen incoming lines the DJ has only a single
mouth, so perhaps more than a couple of incoming lines per radio station
is unnecessary.  Could we get a larger percentage of each radio station's
audience in direct contact with their respective stations by reducing the
number of lines to each one but keeping the overall system capacity the
same?

How about it?

If I may make a suggestion....

Has anyone considered using a gopher server for this?  You can run the
clients off just about any major OS now, and servers on most as well.  All
the paper people would have to do is save it as text, drop it onto the
gopher server, and it becomes available to the whole world.

Several school newspapers are already available through gopher, as well as
a ton of other info.  To try it out telnet to consultant.micro.umn.edu and
log in as username "gopher".

At last we are leaning in the direction of what I was wondering about: It's
true that they get the ANI of the calling number, but SO WHAT??? This is one
case where they most assuredly are more interested in what you have to say
than in who you are. You would be better off wondering about what sort of
malicious damage can be done to an innocent person's reputation by someone
making a bunch of these anonymous calls maliciously (from a pay phone, of
course).

If you really want to find 800 numbers that chase down the ANI of the
caller and actually do something with the info, try calling Betty Crocker
to ask about about recipes, or some TV preacher's Prayer Line to ask about
investment advice. :-) It won't be long before the junk mail and phone calls
start rolling in.

From my sys file on uchinews:

Since we carry all of chi.*, including chi.weather, and we've never

Which do you want? RSA or DES? these are two different things, you know.
DES is not public key, RSA is. Also, RSA is patented, so even if you
could get your hands on a copy, you's be violating patent laws. And the
industries de facto encryption standard is DES. So which do you want?

But, if you want it, you could ftp RSA from here:

ftp pc.usl.edu(130.70.40.3) in directory /pub/msdos/crypto. file:pgp10src.zip

Note that possesion of this algorithm is violation of patent laws.
Use at your own risk.

Schwa - the modern rock band - will be playing live at the
Arlington Trackside from 6:30 to 8 PM next Friday July 31st.
Simultaneously this show will be broadcast live on Chicago's
newest music station - The Bear 92.7 FM - WCBR
as part of host DJ David Anton's 10th Race Club Show.

Come to the show and be part of the live broadcast over the airwaves!
This should be fun, since the DJ is there at the club and they broadcast 
other songs between our songs.   I think some snacks are provided gratis
too, otherwise the Trackside also features a 'Levy' Restaurant.

The club/restaurant is at the corner of Euclid & Wilke Roads
in Arlington Heights directly next to the Arlington racetrack on the side
opposite the grandstands.

Take 90 West to 53 North to Euclid East and you'll see the Trackside
on the left just before Wilke.

If you go into the track, you can get free passes from a racing program or
from the concession stand fliers for the Trackside.  Otherwise tune in
to 92.7 and they'll be giving away passes to the show next week.  You
might be able to call WCBR any time at 708/818-9227 and just ask to be put on
the guest list for the show.

If you don't find a racing form (I'm not sure if you have to pay to get into the
Racetrack itself, but I bet lots of people leaving the racetrack
from the parking lot give or throw away their racing forms),
a small cover includes admission for Dick Holliday and the Bamboo Gang 
who'll be playing their ever popular good 'ol party kinda cover song 
rock'n roll after us at 8PM.

Also save Wednesday September 9 for Schwa at Cabaret Metro - remember 9/9 :)

Tapes of our 6 song EP 'Hoop Da Yyeeeee' will be available at the show
and at Tower Records (Belden & Clark) and Reckless Records (Broadway &
Belmont) in Chicago.

If you have the time (and it won't really take a lot) then get yourself a
book on the car you have. If you have a European car, or one of the 
more mainstream American cars, Olyslager is a very good publisher of
instraction books on car repair. Then start doing the small repairs
yourself. Things that you usually can do straight off, without any problems
are:

Oil replacement
Spark plug cleaning or replacement
Adjustment of ignition timing. 

This alone can save you over $150 per year. 
Then when you get more experienced, things like brakes, clutch, fuel system,
and actually everything that doesnt need highly specialised equipment  could
be done by you. In this way, over the course of 2 years, I have done all
these things, and saved myself at least $2000 in repairs and maintainance.
And you really learn something in the process!
