Ecoute, si tu ne veut pas payee le prix, tu vas etre obiger d'aller chez 
Crazy Irving, ou autre, et te procurer un C++ sharware, mais je doutes que
tu vas en trouver.  Borland est beaucoup plus chers que 50$, les autres 
aussi.

La boite vocal du Mirror?  Tu parle tu de la boite que les annonces 
personels sont places?  Ca coute 1.50$ la minute aussi.

Ya juste le placement de l'annonce dans le journal qui est gratuit.

Autrefois (lire il y a un an), quand j'achetais par la poste et que le
colis etait coince aux douanes, c'etait toujours a Erie (et Erie ou Fort Erie
n'est pas un point d'entree americano-canadien) et le transporteur etait
UPS.  Depuis, j'ai pris l'habitude d'exiger un autre transporteur et
tout est regle.  UPS charge 35$ pour payer la douane de 5$, au lieu
d'augmenter le prix d'envoi de 5$ pour inclure ces frais.  Pour moi,
c'est du vol.  Pour d'autres, c'est une politique economique interne
malsaine.  Par ailleurs, suite au libre-accord, il n'y a peut-etre plus
de taxes pour le materiel informatique (je ne suis pas sur).

Il y a 15 ans, j'allais dedouaner le materiel rue McGill.  C'etait avant UPS.

How to vote:  Do a (R)eply from nn or rn, using the capital "R" to quote

restaurant you want to rate, put a number between 0 and 4 (0,1,2,3,4) 
inside the bracket next to the restaurant's name.  The number followed 
followed by the colon is the restaurant's number in our database.  If you 
don't want to vote for a restaurant, leave it blank or delete the lines 
that refer to that restaurant.  The program looks for the START_BALLOT and 
END_BALLOT lines, so don't delete these lines.  

If you would like to make a comment about the restaurant, you have one line 
to describe the restaurant.  

If you would like to send suggestions or comments about the format of the 
listings, please put them at the start of your message.  The person quickly 
scans each message before turning it over to the program, so it's best to 
catch its attention as soon as possible.  

If everything works properly, you should get an automatic acknowledgement

We will have tour of the 'burbs of Portland, finishing up at Stark Street

If your roadster is not running (hopefully just in storage :-) or you do not
own one, but are thinking of joining in the fun... please come anyway, there
is no entry fee just a tour. Stark Street PIZZA has a nice fire place to warm
up at afterwards! I'll be in a yellow '67 2000, unless it is snowing - then
I'll be in a butter-scotch '72 510 [hey, the heater works in it!].

	I can't say that I've been as pleased.  Circa 1985 I had a
	cassette deck there three times, the first time to change a
	motor, the next two times to fix what they broke the first time.
	They ended up sending it out to another place because they
	couldn't fix it.  The result is I have a motor with the wrong
	pulley on it (so the play band falls off frequently) and the
	record level doesn't match the play level anymore (I don't know
	why they would have touched that).

	My wife had a similar experience with her VCR, though not as
	severe.

	I used to go to Transistor Service Company and copy a page or
	two from a service manual so that I could fix something myself.
	Unfortunately they don't allow customers to see schematics
	anymore.

or a live-in nanny. My wife needs to free herself up some  so that she can 
either work or take some time to attend to her personal interests.

We would appreciate suggestions/advice from experienced parents on the
pros/cons (cost, quality of care, loss of privacy, etc.)  of day-care 
vs. live-in nanny (or other arrangements).  Also, we would welcome any

nannies.

In a recent article by patti@hosehead.intel.com:
>What is the fascination with grooved pavement on TV Highway?

>It seems like once a year, somebody (the highway department?  teenage

I called the state highway dept. about this.  Normally they have to
put that pattern into the old pavement when they do an overlay to
make the layers stick together.  This was done a year or so ago.
Unfortunately the overlay mixture was not reliable.  In fact it was
an experiment which failed.  I expressed my feelings about making
the experiment so extensive thus costing so much when it failed.
(Others might call the highway dept and express similar dismay at
this waste of taxpayer's money.)  Anyway, the road surface became
too smooth and would be very slick when wet so they had to do
something to prevent accidents.  The simpliest thing was
re-patterning the pavement.  This summer when weather permits they
will do another overlay job.

As far as the fellow I talked to would admit, it was uncertain if
the problem was with the contractor or the way the state wrote the
contract.  What is certain is that the taxpayers will be stuck with 
the bill.

I am posting this for a friend without net access who is moving to
metro Portland soon and wonders whether there are any radio stations
which have bluegrass-oriented shows?  If so, what are the call
letters and showtimes?  Please reply by email and I will foward.
Thanks.      --Steve        jeske@src.dec.com       ...!decwrl!jeske
