Well, it looks like my country needs me....it doesn't seem to need me
for lots of other, more lofty, (did I say, better-paying) tasks...
but hey, if it's to keep up the Canadian end in Trivial Pursuit - I
guess I'll have to answer the call. TP, after all, is a Canadian
game, invented just two blocks from here, supposedly, in a
student-y/raunchy/sleazy beer hall called Albert's Hall, home at the
time, to many UT drinking parties (there are many other pubs now) by a
couple of unemployed university drop-outs/grads[?]...

Albert's Hall has never been the same, supposedly...

Anyhow, life is complicated. I'll do my best - though I am not sure I
can always reply immediately, as life, if anything, will get even more
complicated as time goes on.

NOT!  New York subway cars were designed by barbarians.  There's a

Oreos without the filling?:-)  Try heading for the supermarket, and
checking the aisle where they keep the premade pie crusts - the graham
cracker ones.  There should be premade chocolate crusts there too.  Presumably
they have ingredient lists on the side....  That should tell you what's in
a chocolate wafer.  I don't think I have a recipe for that hanging around,
but in this house anything's possible.:-)  I presume a pie crust is what you're

Excellent idea.  It's almost 8:30 in Georgia now.  That's ample time for

>Steve Karlson

I took an exam today. I was looking over my exam book after
writing everything I could, and at one point I found a sentence
about half a page long. I call it a sentence out of courtesy,
because it didn't have full stops in it. Otherwise it was the
most horribly meandering thing I have ever read. Besides, it
wasn't actually grammatical, though you had read carefully to
realize that.

What led to this is the sudden realization of special cases and
modifications to the solution when I was already writing it out
at a furious pace. Such things happen fairly commonly and that
leads to a butchering of the language with awkward clauses.

I struck out the solution and rewrote it on a new sheet, but that
was only because there was time left (and a conceit, of course).
It wasn't really necessary - the instructors ignore these things.

Ah, yes.  Like a VW Bug and a Ferrari are alike.  Like a Shetland Pony and
Secretariat are alike.  You're very much correct MEM.  You've won the argument
with your astute and mind-bending observation.  And Ruth is so right.  I
can't handle command lines.  That's why I like programming.  No command lines
involved there. Not really.  Just commands.

These have got to be the two stupidest arguments I've ever heard for preferring
a command line machine over a GUI.  I use both.  In fact, on my left I've got a
Macintosh, on my right I've got a 386 with windows (with DOS-prompt active) and
right in front of me I've got a VAX terminal (command line, I think, Ruth.
Although I would certainly bow to you obviously greater knowledge).

Speaking from quite a few years of experience, Windows and MAC OS are not much
alike.  If you've ever done more than turned either machine on, you wouldn't
have made such a stupid comment.

	Just keep digging.  I'm enjoying it!  I move very smoothly
between the Mac Interface and UNIX all day long.   So does everyone
else in my office.  Now what's that about command lines?  Oh, I'm also
fluent in VMS and (god help me) whatever that mutant TOPS operating
system is that CompuServe visits upon its sysops. (I thought I'd never
have to use a line editor again.  Imagine my chagrin!) 

	Really, there's nothing wrong with preferring them DOS
machines.  They have their advantages.  But do try to refrain from
making bigoted judgements about Mac users.  You'd be surprised who
prefers them.

PS  Most Mac users I know run screaming in the other direction when
they encounter Windows.  For an amusing bit done by NPR called This
Old DOS, see EFFector Online 3.08.

I've been working off the last couple day's e-mail backlog and listening
to the Packers playing the LA Rams.  Because it's not CBS's turn to
run two games, and the Bears play a late game, I have to listen to
the Milwaukee radio.  The Packers got a bad start; fumbled on their
second play, and the Rams promptly scored.  7-0 Rams.  Later in the
first quarter, the Rams kicked a field goal.  Then the Packers woke
up; got the ball; drove for a touchdown; Terrell Buckley intercepted
a pass and made a long return for a touchdown; Rams punted and the
Packers drove for another touchdown;  Rams couldn't run out the
clock so the Packers got the ball and drove for another touchdown.

Halftime:  Packers 28, Rams 10

I don't want to enumerate or rank-order the good and bad of WORDS-L '92.  Of
course Aaronology, Project H, the Family Feud feud, and the flames of
fundamentalism were bad.  Of course the Clambake, numerous other FTFs,
T-shirts, and such were wonderful.  I miss Adam and other departed folks, but
welcome blomberg and Agnes and Carolyn and the year's other new additions to
the family.

But all that pales to insignificance compared to the support and aid given so
freely and fully when someone is in need.  Both on-list (birthday and
unbirthday greetings) and off-list (my e-counselors know who they are, but may
not know just <how much> they did in crisis times), WORDS-L and wordslers have
made the difference for me in this very, very difficult year.

Thank you, one and all...
