Doris,

     I remember most of the people from WORDS-L.  I also want to add one
comment about the 'amatuer' discussion wrt the Dream Team.  The U.S.A.
campaigned *against* using professionals.  But we were voted down.  Part
of the problem is how much effort it takes to produce a top-of-the-line
effort (consider how much time the gymnasts have put in, even the ones
who will never get to the olympics, much less a medal, and it is mind
boggling).  Part of the problem also is how to define an 'amatuer'.  If
someone is officially in the army, but his duties are strictly practicing
a sport (e.g. the Soviet hockey teams and American shooting teams), are
they really amatuers?  How does one create a defintion that cannot be
evaded?  At one time I also was incensed about semi-pros in the Olympics,
but when I couldn't come up with a sufficient definition of 'amatuer', I
decided that if the skills displayed were worth watching, then whether the
person did nothing but practice those skills or not had no bearing on the
asthetic quality of the display.  I still have a special admiration for
people who have finely honed skills without giving up the rest of their
lives to achieve these skills and thoroughly enjoy watching amatuer sports
(in the traditional meaning of the word, which is what I think you meant)
such as local rugby and LaCrosse clubs.  Your ideal exists and is available
to you.  It is unfortunate that something else is packaged under the same
name.

p.s. This is not an e-oops.  It started off as a note to Doris, but grew
     into something that I felt I should inflict on the list as a whole.
     I still am only able to keep up now and then, so if anyone makes a
     posting and expects me to reply, that person should send a copy to
     me at the above address.  It may be a couple of days before I can

1) Yes, but this *has* to be a convertible, and I think a 240 is not?
2) Beautiful car. My nephew in Dallas has one, but no convertible.
3) Too conspicuous consumerish for me.

I have a graduate student who is about to type a final (we hope)
version of his thesis short story collection. I have bee urging
him to use a computer rather than a typewriter. He complains that
the monitors hurt his eyes, etc. etc. But it turns out he has an
Atari with a word processing program ("Something with the word
Word in it..." but not WordPerfect). He says he has no printer
and doesn't know how he'd get his thesis printed out.
  His (and my) question concerns how to go about getting an
Atari-produced disk printed on a system that's an IBM-clone or
a Mac. Is this possible? Complicated? Any advice?

This is precisely what the Assistant Director of Telecommunications was
thinking while ago when we were talking about my managing to check e-mail
throughout most of my recent travels while not yet having bothered to find
out how to check my telephone answering machine from other places.  I fear
that he finds me a bit weird.  I, OTOH, find his telephone fetish weird.
The only good thing about telephones is the lines that allow modems to
communicate.

You should do that every night.  One reason I usually get up at 4:30 or

Usually it has made it safely -- except for several hundred more bounced-
mail messages for Joan's address.  Where is Joan, and when is she coming
back?  Does she know that her mailbox filled up ages ago?  And it tackily
waited for days before starting to bounce the backlog of mail, which keeps

OK, #1 is a machine. And what does #2 look like?

Jeez.

Cabriolet.  although i'm not sure they still make them.

my mom used to have a nissan 200sx, that was customized into
a convertable, and she *loved* *that* *car*.  but when my
parents got divorced, she made my father pay off the loan
on it, and then promptly sold it.

the last time i was in west-by-god-virginia, i drove a black
Toyota Celica convertable, and loved it.  I usually like cars
that ride a little higher off the road, but this was a real
treat.  I grew up riding around in a 65 mustang convertable
(again my mom's) and believe that its the only way to travel,
unless you are on the back of a motercycle.

Pea and i saw a great little hyundai convertable that i simply
must have as soon as we can afford it. I would like a yellow
one.  Although i would jump at the chance to get my paws
on a honda convertable.

jenna still sick, but on the mend i think.

ggs, item 16 of your report is a hard pill I also had to swallow last year...
my mother in nursing home, and childhood home off limits to me, but still
in family, sort of.  And Dawn would love your choice of cars!

                            Peace,

Don asks:

   Where were you when you had all these hail storms and good
   luck avoiding serious injuries? Dar es Salam, Denver, or Danvers?

Dar es Salam was ended up being Dakar, actually.  The hail hailed from
Denver.  Lovely stuff.  I saved a couple golfball-size (the norm) ones to
prove to my father that the storm really did happen...

Forget the WP list.  WORDS-L is the best source of all information,
obscure or otherwise!
