As far as I know there are none available.  I know for certain that
UT's main NNTP news server (emx.cc.utexas.edu) isn't since it's
running at about 500% of its capacity right now and is in the process
of being replaced by another machine.

Hi, Folks -

A book was left after the meeting at CFI. I remember seeing the
person reading it, although I wasn't introduced.

Call me at 338-3343 and tell me the title & you can come get it.

Thanks,

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knows about the latest developments in the NREN
bill (The High Performance Computing Act which was passed in 1991). The
aim of that bill was to build an optical "superhighway" allowing eventual
access to the "SuperNet" for all. I can't seem to find anything new about
it, so I thought this group would be the best to ask. My main concern is
whether or not it will receive funding.

If anyone can point me to a recent source on the network or usenet, I'd
appreciate it.

Thanks,
Mark Bachman

Hello!

	I'd like to thank Chris Petrilli for his kind response to my article.
The public net sounds pretty neat.  I'm willing to pay a reasonable price, and
yes, Chris.  I believe that SLIP would be necessary for a true "Internet"
machine.
	So I'll be waiting and everwatchful, my 64K 4 MHz CP/M computer and I.
Who knows.  My hyperactive XT Clonoid might even join us.  
	Thanks for treating me like a human being, Chris.  I'd suggest that if
this net flies, *everyone* who logs on should be treated in the same cordial
manner.  It would be in some cases and for some prople, quite refreshing.  B-)


				Cheers!

Well, that's almost true..but the govmt attorney was not really
that shaken, and Mr. Abernathy has stretched the truth a bit
with the "sharp exchange" comment. It was more like everyday
dicussion between opposing counsel.

Oh, good, it worked:  somebody noticed and is asking for more BBS listings.
The Turning Point stuff is files that that BBS owner sent to EFF-Austin
some time back.

The average BBS user will not be able to see it, unless they have IP
connectivity, but 7,000,000 people in more than 40 countries can.
Think of it as free advertising.  It also might serve as an answer
to some of the many current questions about where to get various
network services in Austin.

By the way, the Austin Public Net folks have their own gopher service
(out of UT), and there is a link to it from the EFF-Austin area under
the TIC gopher.

As for who should organize this stuff, I agree with everything Prentiss
wrote (see below).

I will kill for this.  My family and I had a Japanese foreign exchange 
student stay with us.  She, her mother,and sister have a resturant
in Tokyo.  We shoped all around Los Angeles to get just the right
brand name of ingredients (sp).  It was terrific.  My kids loved it.
Azuma had a pretty good version of it, but not near the quality.  I
still enjoyed it there.  Does Kyoto's have yaki soba?  It is usually
only served during lunch time hours, but I'll go to San Antonio if
I have to, to get my fix.

OK!  If both rooms already have a phone jack, go to Radio Shack &
buy a couple of dual-outlet phone jacks (the same as you now have in
single-mode.)  When you take apart you old jack, you should see 6 wires
color coded in alternating colors, ie. blue-white & white-blue, orange-white
and white-orange, etc.  Notice which two are currently connected to the
middle two prongs of the jack.  This is your original phone line.  If you
notice two wire connected to the next outer pair of prongs, this is your
second line.  If there is not, then pick a pair (there is a standard here,
but I cannot remember what it is.)  The point here is that a single-line
phone device (phone,modem, etc.) looks for its lines on the inner two prongs.
Just hook up the original line pair as you see them to the jack you want to
use for your phone, and the second-line pair (same squence) to the middle
prongs on your other jack.  All you should need is a small screwdriver & some
common sense about electrical circuits & wiring.

I would recommend going to a Japanese resturant with a good reputation
(ie, Kyoto.  I'm not belittling Mr. Wasabi, but Kyoto does have a wider
selection) and try a combination plate.  If you're not with someone who
know's the in's and out's of Japanese food, do not be shy about asking
the waitperson to explain the food.


>>    yaki soba -- A sorta kinda stir fry noodle dish.
>     ^^^^^^^^^
>I will kill for this. 

I don't remember this being at Kyoto, however, you CAN buy frozen
packages of yakisoba noodles at Asahi Imports on North Loop and
make it yourself.  There are directions in English on the package.
If you try this and want a more elaborate recipe, then email me and
I'll get my wife to tell me her secrets regarding yakisoba.

Well, I've addressed two relatively unrelated postings, so I'm on a roll,
why should I stop now?

At the risk of starting a flame fest, I would like to respond to people
recommending non-Japanese resturants for Japanese food.

If you want a pizza, do you go to a Mexican resturant?
If you want a hamgurger, do you go to a Chinese resturant?
If you want Italian, do you go to a hamgurger joint?

I will let you draw your own conclusions.  :-)

Two questions:

Jack Brown Cleaners charges a rate that, when extrapolated to a full
hour, makes what I earn look pretty paltry.   Can anyone recommend
a reliable, inexpensive person/company/service to do this sort of thing?


(2) I have an old parka that needs re-conditioning.  It's lost a lot of
stuffing, the lining of some of the pockets is worn through, the sleeve
cuffs are worn out, etc. etc.    This parka is an old friend, and now
price is less of an object.   Any recommendations for someone to do this job?
