Ah ! Women wanted equality,then let them have it.
I for one would NOT give up my seat for any person under the age of 80,
uless she is pregnant.And she'd want to be 8 1/2 months at that.

Equality...... I love it.

(From a man who used always give up his seat to ANY female.)
(Yes and if the 80 year old is pregnant then she can have my seat on the train )

Well, ah, uhm, yes it does have a door. (But we could remove it if you

There is a confusion in the logic. The existential assertion (_X exists, or 
_X exists NOT), when instantiated by "I" (self-reference if over I saw one)
is denied (paradoxically) by the consequence of a vacuous entity - "when I 
am not, there is no me, so I can't satisfy any predicate". Therefore "I don't
think" is false, although the contrapositive is OK (if read quickly enough).

Hi,

                       *Bloody MITA photocopiers*

Just an enquiry re MITA photocopiers - are they *all* bad, or do we have
a lemon?  Or is it just that the local MITA service people here in the
deep north are ignorant or incompetent?

We've only had the machine for a few months - only about 144000 copies to 
date - but it's driving us mad with its unreliability.  It's been "fixed" 
about 3 times in the past few weeks AND IT'S STILL USELESS!!!

The problem seems to be loss of control over the toner:  at the "normal" 
setting you get grey rather than black, if you adjust towards Darker you 
get grey or black where you had white!  The output is also streaky, i.e. 
as well as general loss of control there are variations across the copy.

If anyone is familiar with this symptom on the MITA Model DC3285, please 
let me know how it can be fixed so I can tell the bloody serviceman when 
he eventually gets here again!

On a more general level, if you have an opinion for or against MITA 
copiers, please e-mail me and I will post a summary of user experiences 
with this brand (let me know the specific model you are complaining 
about too, please - or endorsing, though that seems unlikely in our 
experience).  Incidentally, I did hear (admittedly from a competitor) 
that TAFE colleges have been having lots of trouble with MITA copiers 
too, but not the same model as ours.

More in despair than in hope,
Ian S.

It is $4.80 for all the food you can eat. It is one of the better 'all you can
eat' places, but it easy to get sick of.

Much better is the Hari Krishna food available from 5pm from the Cross. I 
can't quite remember what street but walk towards St Vinnies Hospital. It
is sort of opposite Bar Colluzi (spelt icorrectly). The food is usually ok,
the best bit being it is free.

Certainly!

Except for the last 8 months I have lived within a few kilometres
of Lucas Heights, i.e., the last 24 years.  I don't glow in the
dark.  I am not bald.  From my front verandah you can see HIFAR
clearly.  When I was young (we're talking about 10-12) my school
mates and I, being allowed to roam the bush, would often walk over to
`the reactor' and visit the visitors' centre.  I wonder how many
for the people in Engadine (where I come from) who complain have
ever actually bothered to do this.  The ignorance and gut-reaction
I have seen to the one place we have to do some research (and prepare
important medicines) really appals me.  One of my high-school friend's
mother was big in the `let's get rid of Lucas Heights' movement.
I always found it amusing that she moved into the area when it was
already there and has moved since then and has still stayed in the area.

I don't understand. The original research reactor was built 20 km from
anywhere, and they are proposing a new one on the same site. Where is
the problem? Anyone living within 20 km of it must clearly have chosen
to go there.

My first though was that it was the Parliamentary Dining Room for State
Parliament.  User pays, and all that.

But seriously, what about the "Mekong Restaurant" on George Street between
Chinatown and Broadway?  How about "No Names" on Stanley Street, East Sydney.
Unfortunately I can't remember their exact prices, nor if "No Names" is
open for lunch, but they are cheap eating places.

This is the housing that moved in AFTER the reactor was built right.
Give me a break, either its safe or it isn't. If it is
then there is no problem where they build it, if its not
then the housing should NEVER have been allowed there in the

As one of the people probably most qualified to talk about the Unison, I
think I should say something. Sure they were slow. But they were the
fastest machine that would run a pretty good Unix for their price. I think
the only other Unix "micro" at the time would have been a Sun. Suns were
not much faster and considerably more expensive.

The Unison used an 8MHz 68000 with as little as 256k bytes of 2-3 wait
state memory. The original IMI disk drives held 20 - 40 Mb, were heavy
enough to give you a hernia carrying them, and were so fast that you
could count the bits as they went past.

Melb Uni did a (very simple) benchmark on various machines and the Unison
was well down the list but not completely last. In one category (context
switching), the Unison was the fastest machine by an order of magnitude!!
Admittedly we cheated but it made the Unison proponents (I'm not sure that
is the right word) laugh at the time.

Email were definitely the wrong people to market the machine. It could have
been a great success with the right management. But I'll bet it would never
have made the sales predictions given to Email when they decided to but it.

I belive that Bruce Paterson has answered the original question of whether
there are any Unisons still alive. I have a few Unison brochures and PCBs
that I kept as souvenirs (they also make good cheese boards!!), but I don't
know of any other running machines.

In other words, the people who already live near a (shock! horror!)
nuclear reactor will continue to do so.  Presumably they will be at no
greater risk than they now are.  There is some problem with this?

hi,
  In 1992 in March a Symposium was held in Launceston, Tasmania, to discuss
women in computing and related issues. There was talk of a similar 
one being held in 1993. Does anyone have any information about where it will
be and when. I heard talk of Rockhampton, but have heard nothing officially.

I think you guys are missing the point.  That's a pretty impressive fuel
mileage that he's getting.  If he doesn't drive it to work then maybe he
just drives it back and forth across the nullarbor (with the aircond off).
