 Hi Jason,

 I gotta say sorry for that lousy reply I sent you the other day (in case you
 haven't noticed).  I had a little problem with my parents last weekend so I
 wasn't in a very good mood to write messages.  Well now that I got you all
 excited about this, I suppose I should tell you briefly what happened:
 It was because I went to a pub-meet organized by one of my Bio classmate
 in summer school.  We only had a bit of alcohol and then we left for car-
 pooling.  I didn't drive that night so I just got onto the "backseat" of
 a bike (there are 2 bikers in my class).  After all the fun, we decided to
 go home at around 12:30.  I needed a lift since the bus stops running to
 Strathcona after 12:00.  So one my biker friend offered me a ride home.
 But unfortunatly my parents were waiting for me at the window (don't laugh,
 they do that all the time, they say do that because they're worried) and
 they saw me getting off the bike.  You know how parents are so good in
 sterotyping... so they started questioning me and stuff.  Finally the
 word "booze" sliped through my teeth because I was so damn tried that my
 mind-speech cooridination couldn't function properly.  So, there I was,
 caught lying.  I was grounded from my PC and other activities for a couple
 of days and my curfew changed from 1:00am to 10:00pm.  I think they're
 just too harsh on me.  I wasn't drinking to much that night, I was still
 clean (except the smell from my shirt) and sober when I got home... oh
 well, as if telling this to them will really help...

 JW> Now if everyone will just switch to fuel efficient cars, then we'll be
 JW> okay  for a while! :] Or maybe  Anti-matter Chambers will provide
 JW> energy before fusion! Who knows!! (Yes, I'm somewhat of a Star Trek
 JW> fan)

 I think what you mean by fuel efficient cars are the ones that run on
 batteries.  From what I read in magazines, they're still quite expensive
 comparing to the conventional ones, aren't they?  I can't comment on the
 Anti-matter Chambers alternative, since I'm not a trekky.

 JW> had a picture of the lightning. Boy, I wish I could've seen that! And
 JW> when we left the dome....all was quiet again. The lightning must have
 JW> been tremendous 'cause my answering machine was zapped....the buttons
 JW> wouldn't respond, until I unplugged the unit and replugged it.

 Your answering machine was WHAT?  I hope you were talking about static
 electricity!  My dad used to tell me to shut down the TV and my PC whenever
 there is a thunderstorm, but I didn't believe it was true that you can
 really get zapped talking on the phone or something.
 
 JW> PP again! I wonder if the papers got lost in the mail! I wouldn't doubt
 JW> it! Yep, I'm looking for a HS-modem. 14400. Yes I AM power crazy!! I've
 JW> got a  plain-Jane 2400 without any error correction or on the fly
 JW> compression. And since I use BBS's quite a lot, it would be nice if I
 JW> can Uload and Dload  faster. Now if I can only convince some of the
 JW> SysOps to get v.32bis compatibility along with HST protocol!

 Oh well, I've never learned enough of those modem terms to be able to
 understand what those HST, v.42bis/v.32bis...etc stand for. BTW, I was
 told by my firend working at the AGT that normal phone line transmittion
 only allows up to 9600bps because any frequency higher than that would be
 unreliable.  And if you want to have reliable transmittion faster than
 9600bps, you'll need a separate phone line from AGT becuase most of the
 household phone lines are bundled together in a larger cord. Any idea if
 this guy is saying any truth?  Too technical?  Maybe I should redirect
 this message to the Tech echo, eh?

 JW> Well, what have you been up to? Getting ready for University? I'm not
 JW> sure if I asked you, but are you staying at the Univ. of Calgary? 

 I just went to the U of C orientation this Friday, I suppose it was okay.
 Well... I'm still kinda nervous about my 1st day though... I guess it'll
 be just like another "first day of high school", but somehow it gives me
 a scary feeling... you know - the big campus, different looking classrooms
 and all that... or maybe I'm just paranoid.

 Sayonara...
