The best team in the NFL today is.......(drum roll please)...The NEW ENGLAND 
PATRIOTS!  Is there anyone out there that can dispute this fact?

Proof of their AMAZING talent is their record.  I mean 0-7 what other team can boast such a one-sided season?  Do they not hold the all-time record of 14 losses in a row?!?!  

I fail to see why anyone could ever think of saying that their hometown team is any better than the Patriots.  Now that everyone realizes that the Patriots are the best, you can all fight over second place!

Can someone PLEASE exlpain the Patriots to me?  How can a team lose
disgracefully to LOSER teams, like the Jets, and come close to beating
teams like, Buffalo?  I doubt they have ever heard of consistency.  
Is there any doubt in anyone's mind that the Patriots will end their season
0-16?

Software Configuration Management provides essential tools and methods
for controlling the development and evolution of software.  There have

flexible software development cycles, faster responses, differing
management styles and choices of methodologies, enormous software
projects with intricately intertwined components, greater reuse, and
improved quality all complicate the task of configuration management.
This talk will present a view of the past, current status, and
possible future directions of SCM, and will discuss technical
approaches and practical advantages to seem to address these problems.

the 540-4400 number.


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
=====================

                Computer Dialers Got You By The Calls?
                ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

by Raymond B. Normandeau

Normandeau Newswire- No matter where you are from the Nassau border
to the Hudson River you may have gotten a computer dialed call
telling you that you may be eligible for a fabulous prize.

If you have not gotten such a call yet, cheer-up, you probably will.

The recorded message is played to you extremely fast. You may have
won a life-time supply of amphetatmines so that you too may start a
similar business.

Have you gotten computer dialed calls from "Hopping Harry". Maybe
calls mentioning Reno Nevada? Have these calls told you to call a
540-???? number?

Do you think that maybe the recorded messages failed to tell you the
price of the call? Did the recording mention "Five-Four-Oh" several
times? If the recording said "The call is billed at Five-Four-Oh"
they meant that you are billed #5.40. You WERE paying attention
weren't you? Those are the bargain calls, the sky is the limit.

Was an address speed spoke so fast that "slow you" missed it?

If you have multiple phone lines and have been lucky enough to be the
recipient of multiple calls you may like to go pick up your multiple
prizes in person.

You may have been told to call 540-4400, 540-0100, 540-9900 or
another 540-nnnn number.

Now ... back to that address. Sneaky us, taped one of those calls and
played back the address.

Would you like to visit the office where the calls came from?
Are you Hopping Mad?
Here is the address:
Eagleton Group Inc
717 East Jericho Turnpike #213
Huntington Station, NY 11746

If the recording tells you that you must call within "n" minutes and
you want to get more information by phone without paying a hefty fee
for the call, then dial 718-830-8781 which is a Queens tie line to
the Huntington Station address. You will only be charged for a
regular local call.

So now you have it. You can pay them a visit!

You may have to speak to them real slowly like.

They don't hear as fast as they talk.

However, no matter how slowly you tell them that you want no more
calls from them, they won't stop calling you -ever.

	The international standard (I believe) is brown - active, blue - neutral,
and green with yellow stripe - ground.

This is the current Australian standard. The old Australian standard was
red - active, black - neutral, and green - ground. The standard domestic supply
is nominally 240 Volts RMS at 50 Hz. Measured voltages of up to 260 Volts are
within the supply tolerance.
