Distribution: co

	For Sale: 2 Stanley-Vemco garage door power units with remote
	controls.

	Note: these do not have the tubing nor the chain nor the
	mounting hardware.  Just the power head and remotes.

	These were manufactured in 1977 before the remote controls had
	the digital encoded signals.  I replaced the power heads
	recently and that makes the originals available.  Everything
	works, but the remotes need some tuning and minor hardware help.
	One of these would be ideal for a current door which has an
	inoperable Stanley unit whose owner doesn't need the remotes to
	work or who is willing to work on them.

	Will sell separately or as a package deal.  Best offer by 17
	April 1992.  Best reply path is phone number listed below.  I
	check mail once every day or two, but this offer is first come,
	first served.

Hi, Austin:

My brother is about to finish High School from an American school outside
the U.S., and he plans to come to Austin this summer to take some preparation
sessions for the upcoming SAT.

I wonder whether any of you know of a reputable preparation center (or 
even high school, if available) in Austin AND NEAR UT campus that prepares
kids for the SAT.  I don't mind buying him a Mac software package and
ask him to spend 6 weeks staring at the monitor and learn from the program,
but my mom seems to only believe the traditional way of preparing for a 
college entrance exam: The hard way...  Oh well.

Please e-mail replies to javier@cs.utexas.edu, or otherwise leave a message
at 473-2361.  I appreciate your prompt response.

What's a Biharie?  If this is a political orientation, then I can
understand.  On the other hand, if it's an ethnic designation of some
kind, then it's disgustingly racist.

The CACTUS meeting agenda for this Thursday's Meeting has been
decided.  (Yeah!)  The talk we had scheduled for the Netblazer
has been postponed.  Instead the main topic will be on PSI net.
PSI offers dialup Internet connections for under $40.00 per month.

Texas Internet Consulting will present the services offered by PSI
and be available for questions and discussions.  The main topic
will be preceeded by a the first of two tutorials on Modems by Chip
Rosenthal.  Chip will discuss various topics such as signaling rate
vs. data rate, "What is a modem?", and "Introduction to Modulation".

No, Peter was correct.  Ross Perot cares about exactly one thing -
turning a profit.  And he is quite excellent at that.  But people's
civil rights?  No.  [ I happen to think he is within his bounds, as
owner of the company to do as he pleases, but that's a different
subject. ]

Just a few facts from EDS -
	1). Unmarried women were not allowed to have live-in
	    boyfriends, even if the women weren't religiously
	    affiliated and didn't believe in marriage.
	2). New employees were required to sign promisory notes
	    obligating them to "re-pay" EDS for the value of
	    their training should they leave.
	3). Freedom of expression at EDS was completely
	    stiffled.  Either you towed the party line or you
	    left.

I lived in an apartment complex that had half a dozen or so kids
straight out of college who worked for EDS.  It was the corporate
equivalent of boot camp.  And while it WAS Perot's company, I hardly
want a President who ignores religious differences, practices
indentured servitude and restricts individual expression.

Lots of conjecture, very little real-world facts... 

While I don't agree with most of what Perot stands for, I do agree we should  
make Europe and Asia pay for their defense.  If they don't want it, fine.   
We'll leave.  No trade sanctions, to re-percussions.  We'll save the $100M that  
Perot would charge.  Right now placing our servicemen in foriegn lands costs  
the US over $100M versus the cost of keeping the same force here in the US.  We  
have clearly demonstrated the ability to pick up and fight anywhere we are  
needed, so I am not sure that there is a clear and decisive reason to have  
forces elsewhere.  At the very least, we should not be paying foriegn countries  
to keep our forces there.

This year I graduated to the 1040 long form, and having filled it out

Does anybody care to recommend an accountant for tax preparation?  I'm

advice, and possibly general financial-planning advice.

What are considered fair rates around here?

Let me get this straight.  We berate US automakers for years for not being
able to do the job right, and when they do something smart for once, you
complain. GM's job is to maximize profits for their shareholders.  How
does paying the UAW outrageous wages accomplish that?

Exactly.  Does anyone seriously think that Ross would try to
abolish the Bill of Rights?  Do you think the Supreme Court,
the Media, or the People would allow such a thing?  Do you
*really* think this? 

>  I don't like his ideology,

Fair enough.  I assume that you've taken the trouble to listen to
his speeches to various organizations on CSPAN, CNN, etc., right?
Or, you've contacted the Perot Petition Committtee Headquarters
and asked for his position papers, right?

BTW, Ross is not known as being especially ideological.  He has
no PAC, nor special interest groups, that he must woo and answer
to.  Just the people who elect him.  Contrast this with the
Demopublican (Republicrat) candidates ...

Oh, I'm pretty much *counting* on this myself.  Followed closely
by their elimination based upon sunset laws, a line-item veto,
and something that sounds a lot like Bob Kerry's plan to consolidate
the bureaucracy (and shrink it).  A kind of Preperation H (tm) for
Washington, so to speak.  For the general idea, see P.J. O'Rourke's
book "Parliament of Whores."

Actually, IMHO (and experience -- I'm involved in the campaign here
in Austin, and just wrote and directed a radio ad that will run on
KLBJ-AM) he is drawing from both so-called Left and Right groups.
Not to mention some libertarians attracted to his reduction-in-government
and balanced-budget ideas.  So, I personally think that Ross may become
the alternative to George Herbert Walker Bush, and sap some of
Clinton's "anyone but Bush" constituency.
