Prodigy doesn't actually reach that many people.  Once you get an
account (even if you decide you hate it and cancel it after the 30-day
trial, as a lot of people do), it's counted forever.  Also, each
account can have up to six subaccounts (one for each member of the
family), and each of these subaccounts is counted as a separate
"subscriber."  So if Daddy buys a Prodigy kit and decided to plug in
the names of his wife and five children, they're counted as subscribers
forever, even though there's a good change none of them ever touch it.

Well, considering the fact that I don't write more than a thousand or so words
a year, including my signature, my penmanship, never very spectacular to begin
with, can now be labeled as awful to unreadable.

Penmanship is something of an art and with the widespread use of computers,
practicing penmanship by just plain using it becomes less practical.  Typing is
much faster but certainly not as elegant (or subject to analysis by handwriting
experts).

  It seems the names of some of the characters vary in different versions.
I've never heard "Panoramix", and I guess they changed it to "Miraculix"

  Anyway, Obelix is as much a warrior as Asterix. for all his menhir

us on MISC got into royal shit with the MISC population (of which there
was about 7) because Alison Smith sent a letter to her father to MISC
instead of mailing it to him, and then I responded to this as her father
and someone else responded as her boyfriend and so on and it went on
and on with ridiculous allegations of drug abuse, pregnancy, cross-dressing,
violence and so on.  It was pretty funny to most of us, and some people
really really got angry, ridiculously angry.

  Anyway, Alison Smith was never heard from again.  I can't believe that this

Subject:      tarmac rugrats

Last night, Tony Harminc reminisced about Charlie on the MTA:

: When I first heard the song at summer camp years ago, I didn't understand

: For questions like this, nerdy kids get banished from the campfire

Tony's comment ties in with the bratty rugrat stories that have been
accumulating the past couple of days ... I wonder if Words-L is the
ultimate revenge of the nerds.

I too have adolescent horror stories -- about the kid with the weak
eyes who was 1 1/2 years younger than most of the rest of the class
and who had the annoying habit of raising outrageous objections and
asking strange questions.

One day during the eighth grade I reached my limit with the heckling
and declared, "One of these days I'll be rich and famous and all of
you will be sorry you were so mean to me."

Can you see why I dig _Calvin and Hobbes_?

Our high school five year reunion picnic was the summer after my
first year in graduate school.  I attended, but felt no temptation to
rub in the fact that I was already working on a research paper,
helping to build data for the Council of Economic Advisors, and
otherwise establishing myself professionally.  There didn't seem to
be any point in rubbing anything in.  What's that about living well
as an adult is the best revenge?

One thing that helped is my parents were reasonably supportive.  My
dad was right, I didn't always know how fortunate I was.

I write everything on the backs of printouts which I find in
the garbage bin in the computer room. Nothing great about it,
of course. It's an old habit. I always nade new notebooks out
of old at the beginning of a new year in school. Everyone did
it.

In fact, "recycling" is a totally new word to me. The second
time I went to the co-op to buy something, I naturally took
the old plastic bag with me. Lady at the counter gave me a
slightly strange look and subtracted four cents from my bill.
(I was thrilled to have unwittingly saved a rupee.) Apparently
it's not a very common thing to reuse your plastic bags.

That recycling newspapers requires telling also surprised me.
In India, there are people who make a business out of recycling.
You just carry all your "recyclable" material and SELL it to an
agent, who then does god knows what with it and makes a profit.
There is a whole industry which is supported on this. To think
that a business like this is carried out by civic bodies !
What happened to free enterprise ?

Don't spread this news. I want to take out a patent on the
idea of Acme recyclers.

     I think the only times the US government has gotten serious about
people who visited an unapproved country there were other, more
serious charges pending and this was a kind of plea bargain, so it
would not have been challenged.

     As for passing customs on the way out, there are rules about what
one can take with one (an excess of cash, I think over 5 or 10
thousand) must be reported.  It is also a time to declare that you are
taking things with you that the US restricts importation of.  This
helps keep you from having to pay duty on what you took with you in
the first place.

     And for the question about how a country could enforce a ban on
going to another country, all the country would have to do is examine
the stamps in your passport on the way back home and deny access.
(i.e. you can go there, but you can't come home.)  Unless of course
one bypasses the border guards altogether, which makes a passport a
moot point.

Glad to hear my channel flipper is not a bigamist, although I hardly
think he'd have time...channel flipping is *very* time-consuming!

Ok. Where's the scintillating conversation I've come expect from the nighttime
Wordslers?

BTW, Adam, did you ever reach the BBB in Seattle?

Clemson University is to have its own student-run cable TV

do know that it is in the works.
