I started to say yesterday that I would poll my students on the question,
but I realized that the majority of my students this semester are upper-
level and grad English majors.  Although many (most?) of them probably
equate "disinterested" with "apathetic," many (most?) are probably aware
of the older (in this century, that is) meaning.  I would bet forty cans
of King Kuts that a poll of a less specialized group of students, say
all MSU freshmen, would yield results like Jim's.

Natalie, thanks for the ISO list.  Yes, 'bg' seems to mean bulgaria.  Why did
we think ac stood for Bulgaria?  Recall the info from whois referred us to an
installation in Sofia, Bulgaria.

Anyway, the suggestion that maybe there was a missing domain got me to
thinking -- while staring at the address.  There were parts of it that
suggested the address of someone who I knew to 'computer-live' in Austria
-- sure enough a bit more sleuthing and I discover that 'univie.ac.at' is
the network at the University of Vienna in Austria.  I have appended '.at'
to my address and sent off a message.  So far so good -- did not even
route it through Brown -- nothing back yet.

Thanks, guys.  All the 'words' helped.

If anyone is interested, I have a list of bitnet nodes.  It is not the
most up-to-date -- from sometime in the last year.  I can no longer get
such data as we're no longer members of bitnet.

Are there any of the old drop-the-coin phones left in France, or do they
all require cards now?  I loved deciding in advance how much I could spend
on the call, stacking the coins in the phone, and watching to see how much
longer I had.  The only bad part was what to talk about while waiting for

We encountered a few last October, but they are certainly rare.  And the
slots for the small denomination coins have been blocked up.  Of course
you can do much the same thing with a card that's nearly empty - just
watch the display counting down.

I'm not sure what the birthday program is.  Is that what I used when I

     I never used to be able to see the sender's name on WORDS-L
     postings, and had to perform sophistical textual analysis to
     identify the sender of an unsigned posting.  (For example, if it
     was cogent, amusing, and contained detailed descriptions of food

     Anyway, the solution was to send the following command to
