Ok, here's the scoop.  I just came back from the local
coffee shop.  At noon I saw a brunette at the bookstore,
we made eye contact.  She looked huggable in a white
blouse and jeans...tiny waist.  We laughed as we read
salsa recipes from a cookbook.  Her friend came in--
a tall blonde with short cropped hair.  They touched
and brushed against each other as they browsed the
women's section.  

Later I'm having coffee and they walk in together.
She sits and chats with her friend, Annette.
We make eye contact.  She looks interested.  
She makes several to the counter and each
time her body slides against my table in the 
crowded cafe.

Obviously there's room in this woman's life both.

I believe I've dated her already, only it was Mis. Stake.   
So sad... Nice lady, nice looking, but her IQ is less than her age. 
Significantly less...  I'm rather more interested in someone whose
approximate IQ is greater than their weight.  Or at least twice their
age.  All right, 10 times their shoe size, minimum! I put no real credence 
in a numerical measurement of a person's intelligence, but it is a rough 
indicator of whether you're smarter than a rutabaga or not...

I've also dated her cousin, Ms. Beefsteak.  Weightlifts 5-6 times a
week, climbs mountains with ease, rides a bike 200 miles in one day just
for fun, cleans her house everyday with a fine-toothed comb, employed
full-time...  What could be wrong with her, you ask? She's strange. 
Won't let me take her picture, wouldn't tell me her birthdate, likes
almost NO kinds of food, is so germ conscious she wouldn't dream of
sharing a straw or fork or spoon EVER, (although kissing was OK), and
is a 35 year old virgin fanatical christian who plans to go to her
grave a virgin.  <Shudder!> She's also superstitious, believing in the
evil powers of black cats, and the bad luck of exiting a house through
a different door than you entered (or was it entering though a
different door than you exited? I never could remember).

Subject: REPOST ->HOME FOR SALE
Summary: REDUCED PRICE
Organization: U S WEST Information Technologies
Distribution: co
Date: Tue, 8 Sep 1992 19:53:13 GMT


NEW TO THE MARKET!!  Due to a relocation to another state I am selling
my home in Castle Rock.  Castle Rock is just 20 min from the Denver
Tech. Center, 45 min. from downtown Denver and the airport, and 45 min.
from Colorado Springs.  A 10 min. walk or 5 min. bike ride from my home
will get you to the new elementry school, soccer fields, a park, the
pool and tennis courts and a 2 mile trail system that runs through
Mitchell Creek Canyon.  The Canyon is backed by Castlewood Canyon State
Park and is a designated green belt.  A 10 min. drive will get you to
the new Factory Outlet Mall, 3 other pools, a new multi-million dollar
rec. center (and it isn't overcrowded), shopping, a new library, batting
cages, baseball fields, soccer fields, more parks, the Jr. and Sr. High
Schools, more new elementry schools, I 25, and a multitude of places to eat.

Castle Rock is a very nice area to raise a family. We have enjoyed the
opportunities the area has to offer.  We are located in a new area
called Founder's Village.  Founder's Village and Castle Rock are a very
family oriented area.  If I had to pick an area to live in the Denver
area, this would be one of my selections (we moved here a little over
three years ago).  The homes in the area have had a steady appreciation
(about 15%) over the past three years and is a nice alternative to
Highlands Ranch if you can't afford the house prices there but want a
comparable or the same house (many of the builders are in Castle Rock
too at $10k - 30k cheaper).  This is a nice area to get away from the
rush of everyday life, but allows you to be close to the things you need.

THE HOME
--------
	2 Story a little over 3 yrs. old with a non-qual, FHA assumption
	Located in a cul-de-sac off the main road (great for kids)
	4 bedrooms 2 1/2 baths
	1300 sq. ft. finished
	700 sq. ft. unfinished basement with rough in plumbing
	2 car garage with automatic opener
	Oak hardwood floors in the kitchen, dining room and entry
	Vaulted ceilings and fireplace with gas logs in the living room
	Large SOUTH facing windows in the living room
	New paint and wallpaper throughout
	1 1/2 year old exterior paint and roof
	Fully landscaped front and rear with automatic sprinklers
	Fully fenced 2500 sq.  ft. back yard 
	New 315 sq. ft. multilevel redwood deck with outdoor lighting
	Bi-level back yard with two waterfalls and outdoor lighting
	384 sq. ft. graveled play area for the kids
	Sidewalks and city water and sewer

	It's a steal for $109,900


	For more information on how to purchase this home please call
	my broker, Whitman Parker at (303) 771-3311 or (303) 688-8080.
	I would be happy to answer any other questions about the home or
	the area call me at (303) 660-9870 evenings (Whitman can too, he
	also lives in Founder's).

Item 1)  The RMN tried an experiment with an on-line service sort of
Prodigy-like, which had all the right buzzwords to it, even to techies:
Graphics (actually very good graphics, much better than Prodigy's),
Unix based, blah-blah-blah.  BUT the company who did it (and then got
the RMN to go with them with an on-line edition) was filled with bozos
(the fellow who'd written the only decent part had left the company
on unfriendly terms) who managed to thoroughly mess it up.

My point?  It is *extremely* hard to do an on-line service well.
Yet you'll find *lots* of people who'll take your money and do one for you.

Item 2)  Just saw an add for a cd-rom set, $180 I think, that had
"all the US phone books" on them, white and yellow pages.  Sure they
get outdated, but draw your own conclusions about how well a videotex
based interface to the same data will fly...

For simple directory lookups, I might too, if it takes less time to
look up than using a paper phone book.  [Including time to get to
the directory: walking to the shelf vs. turning on machine, running
program, dialing...]

BUT: that's still $9/hr, and if it turns into an awesome full

the internet, etc. -- I won't be able to afford it.  If one uses it
a measely hour a day, that's over $3,000 a year.  :-(

French Telecom is a state owned company, Governments are likely
to be regarded as better risks for investers than private companies.
Though I think lots of private money is now going in, as french
companies make use of the service.
(minitel originally was intended a telephone directory system,
it is now used fo many other things, any french people care 
to comment on the project?)

You're sure, huh?

Look. How about NOT making any degrading comments about something you know
absolutely NOTHING about? What information  do you have? If ANY (which
I doubt), would you mind sharing?

And on another point, I am also pissed at US WEST (the phone
company). But US WEST is widely spread, and when people say US WEST,
(like I have above) they MEAN the phone company. The Phone company
(i.e. US WEST Communications) has absolutely NOTHING to do with this
venture. It is by US WEST MRG and US WEST Direct. US WEST consist of
many little companies, that are basically entities. This of course
is not by choice, but by law (and the law sucks).

That's all I want (and can) say for now, except, get informed before you
flame.

Coz CARL is plain text, and the directory is not, and will not be.
As I was explaining to Andrew yesterday (unsucessfully?): You can't market 
something to the general public, that doesn't look nice and graphical.

Otherwise we would still be using CPM, if that's what people liked.
People like graphical things.

As far as I know:
/* sales pitch on */
If you sign up now, you could get a minitel terminal free!
/* sales pitch off */

My boss was talking about giving the software away for free. After all,
we want to get people to use the Minneapolis (Community Link) Gateway!
I think you can get the software for free, but I don't know how the
marketing pukes are going to handle this. I heard two different stories.
Even if not.. the software costs 14 bucks (I think). And a friend I work
with is writing his own windows minitel emulator (since the French one 
sucks), so maybe we will use that one to give away for free or something.

Setup fee? beats me. You can only access these viodeotex services
from the Gateway, and I think they charge a monthly fee. So maybe that's
where the 15 dollars came from. I don't know. but if that's the case, then
you get a whole shitload of services for the 15 bucks, not just that ONE.
