My local PBS channel WGBH broadcasts the beeb World Service on the SAP sound channel of our cable system.  I found it by accident and have not seen any published announcement about it. They seem to broadcast the WS all day except when there is a voice over for the blind. The quality is much better than SW, I guess they must have a satilite feed.

Its nice to be able to record your favourite programmes on your VCR.

	This is, in fact, my second post, although my first went entirely
unnoticed in the early stages of this newsgroup.
	I have played it and even solved it.  I personally love the Infocom
gaves in spite of lack of graphics, which can in fact detract from the
game.  When I say "even solved it", I mean that, because it's not the
easiest Infocom game.  I didn't think it was that great as far as Infocom
games go but my obsession for HHG overcame that.  It involved a bit too
much guessing at solutions here and there.  I'm sure you could ask us
for clues if you get stuck though... does my memory reach that far back?
	The original release of the game came with various gag items
like your own perile-sensitive sunglasses (black cardboard sunglasses),
a microscopic space fleet (empty plastic bag, or I gess it was empty,
I never got out the microscope), some space lint, some demolition "notices"
(who did they notify?), and a Don't Panic button (best part).  I sort of
doubt that you can get those things now since Infocom is bust and the
games are sold through someone else I've heard.  I'd still get it though.
	Oh, my copy of the game is even autographed, but that's a different
story.

Simple.  It's the stuff that you lay down in to keep bulldozers
from demolishing your house to make way for a bypass.

However, if the bulldozer is going to knock down your house to make
way for a parking lot(car park), you have to lay down in a MUCK.

And, if your house is going to be knocked down because the neighbors
are mad at you for playing "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik" at full volume
at all hours of the day and night, then you need to lay down in
a MUSH.

Simple, no?

I know what an okapi is.
Is this what DNA writes? (I guess this is the main question)
And if so, what significance does it have, if any. (someone already said it
doesn't need to be significant).

It would be a strange way to die.

Infocom is alive (sort of) and well (well...) as part of Activision.
Leather Goddesses of Phobos II is a new title from them, and
Activision seems to want to keep releasing new Infocom titles. Maybe
I've been misled, but we'll see.

Dave & Steve, I don't know specifically, but I know that some Infocom

No.  Re-read the chapter in which _Kubla Khan_ is being read during the
Coleridge dinner.  At the end of the chapter, we are told that the reader
continued on to the second, stranger part of the poem.  Now, get a copy
of _Kubla Khan_ and read it.  The poem ends at the same point that it did in
the book.  Coleridge, or so the story goes, awoke one night from a vivid dream
with an entire epic poem in his mind, but, as he was writing it down, he
was interrupted by a traveller from Porlock.  By the time the stranger had
left, Coleridge had forgotten the remainder of the poem.  In Adams' version
of reality, the traveller was, of course, Dirk.

_The Rime of the Ancient Mariner_ also comes up in DGHDA.  The Rime is 
an account of a mysterious sailor who had a startling series of experiences
(killed the albatross, etc.) and accosts a man in a wedding party to
tell him his harrowing tale.  Compare this with the scene in which 
Michael (possessed) accosts a man from a wedding party and tells him the
story of the alien/ghost.  Substitute spaceship for seaship and asteriod 
for albatross, filter it through the laudanum-bent mind of Coleridge and
out pops the _Rime..._.

All of this is from memory, so the details may be fuzzy.

Good ears!! The Monty Python theme is actually a Sousa march going by the name
of "The Liberty Bell." I strongly suspect Brown wasn't responsible for the
choice. The meaning was pretty clear, though -- a none-too-subtle way of 
showing Brown and all his supporters who's really boss in the Demo party now.

You're right he's certianly not the first.  If you want to go way back
I'd say that you probably could call Wolfman Jack a shock Jock.  He
played that newfangled Rock and Roll stuff.

What I don't think you get about Howard is that he took what he does
(I hesitate to call him a "Shock Jock") to a new level.  It's sort of
like this.  Long ago there were people who wrote plays, some were very
good plays, even excellent.  But then along came this dude, Bill
Shakespeare was his name, and he took playwriting to a new level.
What had once been known as the crem-de-la-crem of plays had now been
bumped down a couple of notches on the "Play Excelenc-o-meter (tm)"

It always makes me laugh, that this planet has more Buddhists than any
other religion, yet everyone seems to _KNOW_ that they worship the
only and best god.  Who are you to say that anyone is wrong about who
is god.  Is it Budah, Jesus, or the Almighty himself.  I have a theory
that the SecondComming of Christ has already occured, and we have him
locked up in a mental institution.  Or what's to say that howard isn't
the saviour that so many have been waiting for?  I don't know that he
is, but I'm willing to have an open mind about it.  And I'm absolutely
willing to entertain any other theories anyone may have.   I would
never presume to be so arrogant as to think I have all the answers.

In the SF bay area, Infinity owns KOME-98.5.  KOME is a 50KW FM licensed
to San Jose.  The signal is heard in SF but not all over the SF ADI.
For example, in the suburbs east of SF (Dublin, Walnut Creek, Danville, etc),
co-channel KNCI-98.5 is heard from Sacramento.  If HS goes on KOME, he will
not be heard throughout the SF market, making their own station a poor choice.

Just because someone else beat you to this story in this group, it doesn't mean you

Well, Howard was on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno on Friday, and he did
not mention San Fransisco.  He did mention the other three however.  I
just read someone's post a few messages after yours, and it was quoting
a news article that said that it will be going to San Fransisco.  So, I

I agree... stop being a party pooper scooper.

MOST other news groups tolerate people posting binaries, especially ones
so very related to the topics of the group.
