   Decent air connections between N.O. and The Golden Triangle, too?

   The Natchez Trace Parkway.  One of the best highways in America.

   If Starkville is the site, I will take some vacation days and help

"What was a gatling gun?"   Bwah-hah-hah!!!!!!!  Boy, did you ever ask the
wrong dude THAT question!!!!!  First off, it's capitalized, as Doctor Gatling
(DDs) was a personal noun rather than someone who gattled in his spare time.
What do you want to know?  That it was an early example of a "machine gun"?
That it was a mechanically operated, air cooled, magazine fed, tripod or
carriage-mounted weapon capable of repetitive fire?  (I'd have said 'center-
fire', but there *were* some rim-fired examples...)  That it's the lineal
descendant of the USAF Vulcan aircraft cannon?  (How'm I doin'?)  You want
a paragraph on why the Union Army didn't snap it up when first offered, or
why the fact that it was originally built in Cincinatti bothered the Union
Chief of Ordanance General Ripley?  Not to mention Dr. Gatling's birthplace?
(Oh-oh.  I didn't really mean 'descendant' 4 lines back there, but, you know
line editors!)  Am I anywhere close to the answer?  Do you need "multiple-
barrels" in there somewhere?  "Axial rotating"?  How about that Custer left
his home because they were too "clumsy"?  (Yea, try walking around dead if
you want clumsy, Blondie!)  How about 'camel mounts'?  You want anything
about the Nordfelt and the Gardner competitors while I'm at it?  8-)  If I
don't have the answer in here someplace, keep digging...you want CALIBERS,
maybe?

Subject:      Computer Question
Comments: To: words-l@uga.cc.uga.edu

Y'all didn't know that I'm an internationally known computer guru, did you?
I just got home from a party and found a message from Spain on my answering
machine.  It was a computer question.  I'm serious.  I found it hilarious.
Well, I have to admit that it wasn't a stranger in Spain who had read my
name in the Barcelona Banner or whatever as the person who knows all.  It
was my uncle.  I still think it's funny though.  He's the one who convinced
me during a conversation Thanksgiving 1987 to buy a computer.  I remember
telling him that I didn't trust them -- that I had heard stories of people
losing what they were working on, etc.  But I digress...  Here's the question.

He's using Wordperfect 5.1 and PC Tools 6.  My big problem is that I've
never used PC Tools and know nothing about it (except what it is -- it's
the rival of Norton Utilities, which I do use).  He said that he can't
retrieve the file he's working on (a serious situation since he's a
professional writer).  When trying to retrieve the file he gets a message
from PC Tools saying "Use Diskfix before continuing."  Another message says
"bad memory image of FAT reading drive C."  His question to me is how to
use Diskfix.

I find the question strange.  If I had been home to answer the call, I would
have told him that he should use Diskfix however he uses the other PC Tools
utilities.  I assume he has a manual since I know the PC Tools is not
pirated.  I remember his telling me he got PC Tools when he bought his
current computer -- that it was part of the package he got.  Maybe they
didn't include a manual, although that strikes me as odd.

Naturally my first reaction (since I didn't talk to him -- this was on
my answering machine remember) was to ask WORDS-L.  Does anybody know how
to use Diskfix?  Any other suggestions?  I'm not going to call him back
since it's now something like 2:30 a.m. in Spain.  I'll probably FAX him
an answer but probably not until early tomorrow morning since his FAX
machine rings.   Any and all responses will be appreciated.

Half an hour ago I was in my local Von's supermarket scanning the
bean shelves for blackeyed peas.  (Local blackeyed pea report:
we have 'em dried but I didn't find any in cans.)

A man walked up behind me and asked where the store kept the cat food.
I never turned around, and after receiving directions the man walked
away.  Shortly thereafter I turned to my cart and a shaggy-looking guy
asked me if that man was Jay Leno.  I ignored the obvious nut and
walked away pushing my cart.

I pushed it past the cat food aisle, where I found Jay Leno trying
to decide which can to buy.  I passed the aisle again several
minutes later and Jay was still studying his options.  He must
have a *very* picky cat.  Or doesn't normally buy the cat food
and was overwhelmed by the choices.

>What about not cutting your nails on Sunday?

Nonsense. It's Saturday. Haircuts are not taken on Tuesdays. In fact
Sunday is a very good day for both haircuts and cutting nails, unless
it's the fifth one of the month, in which case haircuts are not okay.
Simple reason. Village barbers are paid by the month. They don't like
it if they have to do 5 4ths of their usual work for the same money.
Have a tendency to go at the ears with their razors. Nailcutting, on
the other hand, is completely okay, though optional. Now when it's a
leap day it's NECESSARY to cut nails. That's the day when the earth
is most sensitive to planetary imbalances. For want of a nail she could
go out of orbit - don't want that to happen. Every four years the earth
is saved by nine hundred million Indians simultaneously cutting nails
providing that gentle *thump* to get the planet back in its course.
Maybe you'll hear it if you listen carefully. 11 am, in '96.

Biggest piece of nonsense I ever heard. The luckiest thing to do is to
leave by the same door, preferably backwards. The more accurate your
time-reversal of the entering process is the luckier you are. I mean,
do you want your essence to remain forever locked in the house, just
because you were too lazy to conserve symmetry?

But all a moot point anyway if you don't sprinkle cowpiss all over the
house.

Comments: To: words-l@uga.cc.uga.edu

We need to make some definite plans for the croning setting so that people
like Torkel can start looking for the best airline deals.  What are your
opinions?  How many people will come to a croning in or near Starkville,
Mississippi?  What about if it's in New Orleans instead?  What about on
the Mississippi River (with Brad in charge of making arrangements for a
boat trip -- otherwise, it will be on a levee somewhere)?  Other suggestions?
I think we've pretty well established March 19 as the appropriate date
since, as I pointed out earlier, midnight on March 19 is the halfway point
between the birthdays of the two soon-to-be-crones.  That's a Friday night.

I still have no croning knowledge other that what has been posted on the
list and am not sure that I'll be able to find any good books right away.
That won't matter as long as Susan is willing to be in charge of the
ceremony.

Advantages of Starkville area:  Bernardykins will be happy; you will have
telnet access; it's probably easier to find appropriate outdoor settings
than it would be in N.O.; not just everybody has visited Oktibbeha County,
Mississippi -- it's a more exotic destination than N.O.; we can perhaps
arrange for a viewing of Ra in its living flesh; we can perhaps arrange
for a viewing of FWP in his living flesh; no doubt other advantages that
I'm overlooking at the moment.

Advantages of N.O.:  Easier and probably cheaper airline access; public
transportation available within the city (Bernard and I will do our best
to shuttle people around if it's in Starkville, but how efficient our
transporting will be will depend on how many people we're serving);
the usual attractions of N.O.; no doubt other advantages that I'm
overlooking at the moment.

Keep in mind that you can still visit N.O. even if the croning is in
Starkville.  It's a 5-6-hour drive.

The IBM PC keyboards don't have PF keys either (with the exception of
the ancient and inherently BAD (Broken As Designed) 3270 PC).  The
original IBM PC and the PC XT have ten F keys in two columns to the
left of the keyboard.  The PC AT and subsequent keyboards have
12 F keys in a row above the main keyboard.  There are various
other layouts, particularly for compact keyboard.

attention), noone knew what to make of this question ... even those who could
recite the entire Lord's Prayer.

As for my own ignorance, I'm afraid I can't blame it on having English as a
second language because it isn't.  Though I was born in India (and moved to
the US at 4), English was the first (and regrettably, now the only) language
I could speak, read, and write.

So what do I do for my next turn?
