I went to Chinn's in May, and I had a GREAT time!  I went in a group of 7, and the only real hassle was the wait, but it wasn't really that bad.  I had the snow snow crab legs and it was great!  The Alaskan crab legs and lobster wasn't bad, either.

The one thing I like about that place was the atmosphere.  It was a very fun experience, and the waitresses were very nice.



Anyone have any comments on Shaw's Crab House?
I haven't gone there yet...

Excuse me, I don't mean to come off like the language police, but it
took me a while to figure out what you were talking about, because you
had it backwards:

   Unpeeled shrimp = NOT peeled, i.e., with the shells on
   Peeled shrimp = shells removed

So the breaded shrimp is peeled before it is breaded and the Cajun
shrimp is cooked unpeeled in its sauce, and both are probably done early
in the day by the prep cook, which is why it's hard for them to
accommodate such changes when you come in and order at 8.  (Or so I
conjecture.)

Be that as it may, here are some tips for the best enjoyment of Chinn's
from someone who lives a mile a way and dines there frequently:

Go early (5:00) or late (9:00) and avoid weekends.
Don't go with a huge group.
Don't order anything Bob's Version.
Order the grouper.  Yummmm....
If you don't like it, stay home so it's less crowded for the rest 
  of us :)


Oh, and the reason they (and many other restaurants) won't seat you
unless your group is all there is because people often say they have a
bigger group than they actually do in order to get a roomier table.
I'm not condoning, just explaining.

We found a dog Friday (10-30) on campus here in Hyde Park.  

She is maybe 6 months old, about 35 lbs.  She is some type of
German Shepherd/Border Collie mix.  Black fur with tan feet.
The fur is quite soft and medium to long length, wavey.  Long tail
and ears that make it halfway up before flopping over.

She gets along well with dogs and people.  We have no children
to try her out on, so we don't know how she likes them.  She 
knows "sit" and sometimes knows "down".  She is not reliably
housebroken, but has clearly been exposed to the concept before.
(She's not like a puppy that eliminates every 30 minutes...)

She is very cute and very friendly and will make someone a 
wonderful pet (and companion and watch dog).

If you know whom she might belong to or someone who would like
to adopt her, please send me e-mail.

Thank you,
Mary Pugh.

By the first of December, I will be in the market for purchacing a Macintosh.
I resisted the temptation to buy a 486 66mhz DOS unit for a variety of
reaasons. 

I was originally considering a new mac, and still may wind up wiith one.
However, I am open to purchacing a used one, provided the price is
right, it is in the Chicago area (within 100 miles drive), and I can
see it work.

I am open to anything from an SE on up, but am really interested in a
IIsi or better.  Naturally, a new mac will come with a warrantee and
service plan, but as I said, if the price is right, I can and will
consider something used (but NOT abused).

I would appreciate e-mail messages if you either are planning on
selling your mac, or would like to assist me in deciding what would be
the best compromise between power and price.  I will be using it
primarily for DTP and photo scanned images (Pagemaker, Quark, Adobe
Photoshop etc) and perhaps some net communications. Info on Mac peripherels
and accessories related to DTP would also be appreciated.

Any Mac gurus or affectianado's are encouraged to write.  I am NOT a
mac-newbie, but could always use some wise counsil.

No Way...the only reason the comnputer machines are used is cos they're
cheaper.  There are many many more ways to slip a card into the box than
there would be to slip past the judges into one of the booths...  I suppose
they are a little safer against organized fraud by judges simply because

a)  they're newer
b)  thus fewer judges have had time to work out all the possible scams
c)  Having been an election judge, it seemed to me that my fellow judges
    (all >20 years older than my 24 yrs.) were pretty compuphobic.

But I contend that this just makes it easier for a computer-minded person
to put one over on his fellow judges.

I doubt you can even get Unix software for $225 let alone a system.

I've been looking at computers (new) and the cheapest I've seen is
about $750 for an SX system.  So, you figure about $500 for a used 286
system with all the frills (VGA, decent hard drive, etc).

I have gotten mail that asks me to be more specific.  (sorry)

I am looking for a computer.  I am running a 14 year old behemouth with a
flakey memory.  It came with **"" 16 KiloBytes of RAM !!""**.
My father increased it to $8K !!!  This is just about a smidge better than
using a dumb terminal.  I have a small scrollback if I turn it on.  (It fills
up and that is that.)  After a while something gets hot so it poops.

I have a computer in CA but there it rests.  I just need to get out and about. 
I will be looking for work etc.  Something small and inexpensive would be nice,
even a portable/laptop.  The Zenith is one I have used in the past.

I have done a bit of omputer consulting but I really cant do anything without a
system.  someone suggested to me, the other day, that I could get a unix system
for about $225. If this comes up I could consider as well.

Thank you.
