I don't think I have any documentation at all.  The parts of my computer
were all ordered from different places.  I do have documentation for the

Eeek.  This looks complicated.  Or at least the first two things do.  The
third I can probably handle.  I do change the CMOS stuff from time to time.
The only way to get to it is by hitting <del> during bootup -- which strikes
me as odd.  There really ought to be another way.  At least I don't have
to mess with dip switches.

HOHOHOHOHO.  HAHAHAHAHA.  Starkville has neither low-cost nor high-cost
suppliers!  Well.... the MSU bookstore does sell computer stuff, but I've
had very little luck in communication with the employees there.  Then
there's one computer store in a shopping center.  They expanded their
space a while back and got rid of almost all their stock.  I guess they
can't afford to keep anything in the store now that they're paying rent
on all that space.  So you walk in and look at lots of neat air floating
around the empty store.  Mail-order is the normal routine here.

Has anyone read the Best of Bad Hemingway books?  These are collections
of short stories in the Hemingway style and rival the Bulwer-Lytton
contest winners in hilarity.

Also out is the Best of Bad Faulkner, and it's just as funny.

I was just in a New Age bookstore in Austin, Texas, which had the Urantia volume
and a bunch of accompanying critiques and such. "I was impregnated by Elvis'
ghost aboard a UFO" or some such titles. Urantia is Loooong, longer than War
and Peace, and one of the older New Age books around. It has nice cover design
and typography, but lots of New Age books seem to show a concern for clean
design. It's like, "we don't have any content, but we *look* great." The same
for new Age musicians. Isn't Yanni <hot>? Sure, but his music is about as
substantial as a puffed Chee-to.

Why was I in a New Age bookstore in Austin, Texas, you might be asking by now?
I dunno.

This term was invented (by Gilbert) in the context of the dispute

all of whom seemed to be women, at least the most vocal were, so
I could not resist calling these <ladies> Maquettes (or, Mac-ettes).
The suffix -ette in English usually means feminine, and often is
rather derrogatory, except when used in a jocular fashion by -ggs.
