My brother lives in Killeen (believe it or not, he is in the Army... :-), and 
since he is fairly fresh out of college, he is quite familiar with, and ...
'addicted' (?) to Internet access.  The problem is that he cannot get access 
through the base.

Is there any way for an individual to 'rent' internet access, or some similar
situation?  I've heard of a place in California with the address of "portal.com"
but I am trying to find out information about a local place (preferably
someplace that has an 800- number or local to Killeen).

Any ideas out there?  Please e-mail me if you know of anything (since I am 
leaving tomorrow for vacation, and checking my mail from Houston long-distance
does not leave newsgroup-following practical).

Many thanks,

Anyone want a kitten, or know of someone who does ?

We have a black short hair 9 months old and well trained who needs a home.
(Our other cat hates him).

We saved him from a car accident and he has a limp but is as fast and
catlike as any other kitten. Aside from the limp he is in excellent health.

Let me know if you can help.


thanks,

Yes, I've heard of it.  The place is called "Earfull of Books" and is 
located on Research in the same center with Laugh Stop, near the point 
where Anderson, Lamar and Research all come together.  Phone number is 
452-5985.  I've never been in the place, so I have no idea of prices 
or policies.

Go to Custom Sounds on Burnet Rd. just north of Anderson Ln.  They carry
the best stuff and are serious about auto sound, both in terms of
equipment and installation.  They have a very wide variety of gear and
knowledgeable help.  I would speak to the general manager, Mike, if you
go there.  I just bought a fairly inexpensive dash CD (Sony CDX 4040 for
$279) unit from him and he was quite helpful and knowledgeable in
answering my questions. On a previous visit, I had spoken with a
knowledgeable person who was, unfortunately, a bit condescending, so I
was glad to work with Mike for the final sale.  

This is not a bargain basement auto sound establishment, so I doubt that
you will find rock bottom prices, but I think you stand the best chance
of being satisfied by checking them out. (Particularly if you deal with
Mike.)  Incedentally, the unit that I bought had a small malfunction
which caused some (very low level) spurious noise in the program -- the
problem was (of course) intermittent, and I was not able to get it to
act up badly for Mike when I brought it back.  He gave me a new unit
anyway, and I have been quite pleased with it.  

I did my own installation, but I have seen their work, and it is VERY
good.  If I had a Ferarri, I would let them cut on it.  Give them a
try.

I finally bought a Mac system this weekend, and one of the things I would
like to do with it is some music composition / arranging.  It would appear
that to do this I need
     - some composition software
     - a MIDI interface
     - a good MIDI keyboard
     - a real good book about MIDI :-)

I've already got some low-end software called MusicTime that will apparently
drive up to 32 channels of MIDI with the appropriate
adapters/cabling/devices.  This would seem to be adequate for the time
being, but as the software doesn't seem to be able to combine individual parts
into a score, or produce individual parts from a score, something with those
capabilities will be needed after awhile.  If anyone has any recommendations
for any or all of the above, please email me.  Also needed is a local source
for this that is knowledgable about (a) MIDI (b) Music and (c) Macs.

Thanks!

Floral Park and 37th street, both of which I saw in this

On a related subject, does anyone have any experience with the Ungo car

Actually, you can't drive through at all anymore.  Even the 'Dillos 
don't drive through...they just drop you off and you have to walk the 
entire trail.  It's very tiring for small children.

These lights are fantastic...the entire neighborhood gets into the act
and if you go in from the west side and around the corner to the right
when you get to the end of the street, you run into another bunch of
Christmas lights.  It's amazing...I think that neighborhood must save
up all year just so they can pay their electricity bills at Christmas
time!

I'm an avid linux user, and have been for about half a year now.
I've got almost all of the SLS package from tsx installed, and
I've been quite impressed with it too.  Sometimes things
break, and this is very annoying, but it's something that still
happens since linux is only at version 0.98.6 now.

If anyone is interested, I can provide the SLS disks for you.
There are a lot of them, around 25 I think.  I'm also available
for (some) moderate support.  In the next 2 days I expect my
machine to be dialin capable.  For those with modems, I'll provide
a guest account to dialin and play around a little.  Hopefully,
in a few weeks, I'm going to leave my PC SLIP'd up to internet
on a mostly permanent basis.

I've just really gotten into kernel hacking lately, playing around
with the harddrive drivers and the buffer allocation code.
If you'd like more info, I have most of the FAQ's and info sheets
online.  just email, I'll forward them to you.  If there is enough
response, I may just post them all.

Read comp.os.linux, too.  It's okay.  And there is a linux-activists
mailing list, too.

John,

As a father of 4 kidlets (Girl 9, Boy 7, Girl 5, Boy 2), and seeing as
how you seemed to have inherited them.. You may wish to go the gift
certificate route..  Book Stop and Toys R Us seem to be good places for
Books / Toys..

TRU offers "Geofferey Money" for certificates..  My older kids seem to be
particular to picking out their own stuff..  

Then again, some people think that gift certificates are too callous --
If this is the case, clothes, books, games (on the educational side -- If
the younger one is into Nintendo, try Chess (really), Backgammon, or a
popular card game UNO).  Also make sure that they are RETURNABLE..

Please help me. I'm trying to compile a list of Chapman Stick players in Texas,
whether they play actively in bands or not; whether they use Stick as their
primary instrument or just occasionally; whatever type of music.

So far, I only know of the following players:
__________________________________________________________________
| Name                  | City           | Band                  |

| Gary Muller           | Dallas         | Ten Hands             |
| Brett Needham         | Houston        | Joint Chiefs          |
------------------------------------------------------------------

I've heard that one of the members of Zen Archer, from Houston, plays Stick
occassionally, but I haven't been able to confirm this.

If you play, or if you know someone or have heard of someone in Texas that
does play Champan Stick (sometimes know simply as The Stick), please let
me know.

Thanks.
