I write quite a bit of it. Unfortunateley I use extra hardware
for most of them (A/D's etc). We build a box that plugs into the
serial port of the pc. You can you can plug in
headphones and a button box. It can produce tones from
about 20cps to 14k, with a 48db range (if my memory serves me well)
and I wrote programs to do various psycho acoustical testing
with it.

I have also written software to measure reaction time in milliseconds
on a pc with no additional hardware (using the pc's internal chip)
I use this to do all the famous experiments on lexical decision
making tasks. If there is anybody thinking of creating an
archive of these sorts of things let me know and I'll see
what I can contribute. Since I had done this on UWA time I will
have to check that it is ok with my employer first though.

Our latest hardware effort is a pad that plugs into the
parallel port of the pc. Finger on the pad changes capacitance
of the circuit and pulls down a bit on the port. We will use
it to do finger tapping (motor programming and handedness)
experiments.

its a job that could be done by a local sheltered workshop.  (workshops

Two suggestions, both aimed at children, but only one of them suitable
for adults as well. These are available in the named directories of the

	Chinese Talk II and System 7 for Macintosh
	------------------------------------------

I am posting this technical enquiry in this newsgroup because I placed a
similar post in "comp.sys.mac.misc", to date, with no answers.

I have the two disks for Chinese Talk II, which is supposed to run under
System 7, on Macintosh. With this, you can type and edit Fantizi, without
having to use a Chinese-Language operating system.

I have noticed that on some Macintosh System 7, after this package is
loaded up in the System Folder, on re-starting, the system crashes
immediately, thus rendering the package unusable.

Does anybody on the network, who has had more experience with this particular
package have any idea as to what may be causing these "crashes" ? Is it due
to some incompatibility with another system extension ?

The new sewer mains on Harris Street are not quite complete. Presumably

of Glebe won't be a problem... But it give a new sense of "gent"rification...

The Pub was full of locals watching a football match. We were outside
drinking Coupers and playing with a dog called "Skye". Actually, there
was one person inside the pub who wasn't watching footy - he was watching
drinkers watching footy on TV. Then along came the parking cops (two of them)
and bodies spilled out of the pub to shift their cars marginally. Next to 
the pub is a house which usually has a lot of parties - about a dozen guys
staggered out of there to move their vehicles and stagger back in. The
guy who wasn't watching TV moved his motor cycle - about 40 metres, without
starting it and then staggered back to his drink. Down ther street it looked
like they were shooting "Neighbours" or "E Street" or something - the farces
continue, abated only by amateur advertisements...

Then along came Iain McSinclair after a long strolllll. Something he didn't
confess to above was where he went to next...  ...we went that general 
direction too a little later, to buy some dinner (having become habituated
to pesto, artichoke sauces, pasta, eggplant and chickpea pizza, and avocado
salads.

Recommended practise is to leave your futon in an S position at least
once a week (not while sleeping on it though) and air it outside
every couple of weeks (but I'd like to see you try to get it on the hills
hoist). Do this religiously for a few weeks, maybe even a month. Get

By contributing itself!  The Lloyds building being essentially an
enormous scrap-heap masquerading as an exemplary building of the
"Hi-Tech" style.

There is a similarly unnecessary sprawl of Hi-Tech in Ultimo, ie.
Darling Harbour.  With examples of Brutal (UTS) and Postmodern (Powerhouse),
Ultimo again proves itself as a champion of diversity.  We've got
the good, the bad and the ugly, though which is which, and in what
proportions...

The 1986 Census reveals that Ultimo has (easily) the highest proportion of
employed, married women in the entire inner city.  (The 1992 Census is
being collated in an Ultimo warehouse, maybe I should wander across the road
and ask them for an update.)  A more surprising statistic is that
Sydney University has the lowest number of single-parent families in
the inner city.
