Here's the pitch...

  I have a house, and i need to rent out a room (a very large one).  The house is close
to UBC and downtown, as well as to shops along forty-first... Oh ya.. the house is
located on 33rd and Mackenzie.  Its a beautiful house, bright clean, spacious;
has a nice backyard, large patio, garage, plenty of storage, hardwood floors
upstairs, and plush carpet downstairs, good sized kitchen, washer/dryer, lots of
charm warmth and character.  Its located near several major bus routes, and is
in a quiet neighbourhood. There will only be three people staying there. Yourself,
Andrea, and moi.  The rent is $500/mo, which includes all
utilities.  I know it sounds like a lot, but consider that you'll be living in
a house, not an apartment that is the size of my living room and dining room;
there will only be three people there, not six as is common when shared houses
are listed for $350/mo.; and  utilities are included, which means you only write
one check per month, this makes it easier for you and I.

Here are a few things that I am looking for in potential roomies...

 non-smoker, reliable, clean, marture, non-drug user,  no pets, no children,
 financially responsible, willingness to stay for at least twelve months,
 a sense of humor, honest... etc. etc., male or female, it don't matter...


So if you want to know more, or you want to come by and look at the house, you
can reach me at the e-mail address below, or you can phone me at 263-5048, and
leave a message.


Thanks,


Greg  (gcrowe@cs.ubc.ca)

I'm in a similar position, but have spent most of my time trying to
decide exactly what I want in my computer rather than deciding where to
buy it.

I did take a drive out to PQS computer in Markham (of course) last 
week, and was _completely_ unimpressed.  The sales guy I talked to was 
not knowledgeable in *anything* technical (I'm pretty sure he doesn't 
really know what "non-interlaced" means), and his sole concern seemed
to be with his patter (whenwouldyouliketopickupyourcomputersir?).
As someone else commented to me, that's the kind of sales guy that 
has your shoes making those sucking sounds you get when you walk 
through clinging slime.  

On the other hand, PQS's storefront was nice enough, and they seemed 
to be a "real" business.  Still, on simple philosophical grounds, I
don't want to subject myself to a relationship with a company that 
employs sales droids like that.  Your mileage may differ.

I have heard good things about GreyTech, but I've not talked with them
personally.

Waffle is a DOS based BBS. I would say it's the best way to go. The only
problem being that it's not a very common BBS program so a lot of users who
might call a system running the current MSDOS BBS standard, PCBoard, might not
like it.

Personal comment: PCBoard is a grotesque, overpriced piece of junk. It's a
real shame that PCBoard has become the standard.

There are other options. For one, your friend could use software that would
allow him to import Usenet news into an existing MSDOS BBS system such as
PCBoard. However, you would be subjecting the Usenet news to whatever
limitations are inherent in the BBS system. For example, PCBoard has a 99 line
limit on postings so any posting over 99 lines would be broken up. Also,
subject lines would be truncated, and you'd have a bunch of new taglines
injected (like the obnoxious free advertising put on the bottom of all
messages originating from CRS). Somewhat like signatures can be, I'll admit.

Next, you could run a standard BBS program, such as PCBoard or any of the
others available, and run Waffle as a "door". What this means is that when a
Usenet feed site called in, the host BBS would call Waffle to process news,
and users could use Waffle as a newsreader to read Usenet news.

Finally, if your friend has a 286 with a 40MB hard disk and some technical
knowledge of UNIX or friends to help him out he could run Coherent, a very
good Unix clone that will run on 286s, or he could run Minix, another Unix
clone which is a little more rough but comes with complete source code.

I've run Waffle and I liked it. There weren't any limitations as far as I'm
aware. If it's going to be a BBS for the purpose of providing Usenet to
people, I would say go with it. It has things like a file section and can be
set up for doors, but it's main purpose is to process netnews and mail and act
as a newsreader.

CRS does not offer FTP, $100/yr gets 1 hr/day - from the unixbox
the PCBOARD side is poor for anything not even mail is really reliable
and consistent, news is chopped into 99 line pieces.

	Anyone got a IBM-compatible keyboard collecting dust?  My

the function keys along the top of the keyboard, but hey.  Oh yeah, 
it needs a DIN-style plug (the round connector..) .
 
	I work as a bicycle courier, and therefore I am relitively
