Hi Kiev, 
-=> Quoting Kiev Lo to Jason Wong on 08-31-92  14:56 <=-
 KL> Emmm... in a way, I am glad that I didn't head for Florida cuz
 KL> otherwise I'd be entrapped by Hurricane Andrew.  Maybe they (my
Yeah, glad you missed that "little breeze"! Boy, those hurricanes can be 
pretty nasty. Actually, a couple days ago, we got the tail-end of the 
hurricane and we ended up with a lot of rain and fairly strong winds, 
although not quite as bad as Florida...not even close!
 
 KL> a while but I'll smarten up and try to stay sober.  After all, beers
 KL> are crude stuff and I don't really like its taste anyway.
I never really liked beer. I've tried it a  few times, but only in the summer 
and when I was really thirsty.

 KL> Ichy eyes?!  Ouch!  Do they give needle shots to prevent allergies
 KL> when a child is born in Canada?  (well never mind, I guess not since
 KL> they come in so many different favours)
I've never bothered to go see a doc about my allergies so I really don't know 
what I'm allergic to. (aaAAACHEwwwww) It's still bothering me!!! I think 
they do have needles that help to reduce the symptoms, but you need them 
every week! I hate needles!
 JW> upgraded to an ATI Wonder just this past April, and I've had to return
 JW> the card  twice already!! The first time was because of bad memory on
 JW> the card (so he said) and he gave me another card. Then this second
 JW> card fries!!! I've been waiting for them to fix this one!!

 KL> So what was his (the salesman) excuse?
Well, when I returned it, he said that because of the T-storms we had, there 
may have been a surge through the phone lines that may have fried the board.
BUT my modem was fine and so was the motherboard!! Pretty lame excuse.
Anyways, I got a brand new card out of the deal...actually, it's an updated
model, and it's working better. But I'm still kinda mad about the excuse he
gave.

 KL> Yeah I went last Friday and I got myself totally oriented... it took
 KL> me almost an hour  I'm glad that I won't have to do this on the first
 KL> day 
Good! Now you won't be singled out as FROSH!!! 
 JW> the interview didn't go so well. She got kinda upset when I started
 JW> asking her questions...so I didn't bother  continuing. When I left her
 JW> office, I met a friend who worked at a pharmacy next door to the
 JW> office. She said that a lot of people complain about this doctor.
 JW> Well....I guess you know which doctor I'll be going to! :]

 KL> I never had any trouble with the docs since I don't get sick to much.
I don't get sick too often...or at least not sick enough to see a doctor.
But I'd like to find a doctor ahead of time so that he/she can have a good
background of my health which may help them make a diagnosis when I do see
them about something.

Well, less then one week before school! And I'm getting a new modem today.
I ordered it from a mail-order company in the States. It should be here
today, delivered by UPS. It's an Intel SatisFAXtion 400. From what I've read,
this is one of the better modems (bragging a little :] ). I think I'll have
a lot of fun setting it up. Oh NO....I'll probably end up spending even
more time on the modem!!!! There goes my marks...out the window....or is
that out through the phone line :] . It's got fax capabilities too. Now, I 
can fax my assignments to U of Waterloo instead of mailing it (can't really
rely on Canada Post). I also recently got some Bible software from Texas.
It's pretty good! The whole Bible (NIV version) fits onto 3 MB of disk space.
I'm looking for a Windows wordprocessor. I can get Ami Pro and Word for Win
for an excellent price from the university bookstore. I've been told to wait
for Ami Pro 3.0 that was just released. Supposedly, it's excellent....well...
we'll just have to see what the price is like!

TTYL

Jason
