        -- Ou est St.Catharines -- 

| Soit dit en passant, il semble qu'il y ait une double toponymie
| au Quebec, du moins pour certaines regions, comme si on avait
| additionne 2 cartes routieres independantes.  Par exemple, il
| y a William Henry (Sorel), Murrayville (Riviere-du-Loup?) et
| beaucoup d'autres endroits.

Murrayville  --> Baie-St-Paul (?)  (sinon: Baie-Comeau ?) [rive-nord: surement]

Il y aussi, un peu partout, car c'est un phenomene universel:

Ville-Marie      -->  Montre'al
Bytown           -->  Ottawa
(Yorkville)??    -->  Toronto
Nouvelle-France  -->  Canada     --< Bas-Canada       --> Que'bec
                                   < Haut-Canada      --< Ontario, etc.
New-Amsterdam    -->  New-York
Nouvelle-Orleans -->  New-Orleans
St-Petersbourg   -->  Leningrad  --> St-Petersbourg  [--> Petrograd ??]
Congo Belge      -->  Zaire                          [--> Congo     ??]

  etc. etc. etc.

Il y a donc des changements toponymiques. Il y a aussi, outre la toponymie
officielle, des variations selon la langue des locuteurs, etc.
affectant la morphologie, la prononciation, la translitteration, ...

[v.g. Trois-Rivie`res   --> Three-Rivers durant longtemps en anglais
      Montre'eal        --> Montreal (angl., autrefois officiel, je pense)
      Que'bec           --> Quebec   ( "                                ")
      London (Ont)      --> London   (id. chez les francophones)
      London (England)  --> Londres  (en francais international)
      (*^$%%&)??        --> Pekin    (fr., anc.)  --> Beijing (fr., nouv.) ]

Je peux me tromper - et je ne veux pas lancer de discussion la`-dessus -,
mais je pense qu'en general les Quebecois francophones, contrairement aux
anglophones nord-americains ou aux Francais (jusqu'a` recemment...),
ont ete historiquement peu enclins a traduire les noms etrangers, ou adoptent
meme souvent la forme ou la prononciation anglaise de mots etrangers non-anglais
[v.g. on entend couramment a Radio-Canada "GM"   prononce' "dji-emme"
                                          "J.R."           "dje'-arr", etc.
      ce qui, a mon avis, n'a pas de sens en francais, et n'a pas son equivalent
      chez les anglophones.]

Je pense que tout cela releve a la fois de l'histoire, de la science politique,
de la sociologie, de la psychologie et de la linguistique.

There are hundreds of apartments, duplexes, condos, rooms, houses
available in Montreal.

You will have no problem.
You could come here, pick up a paper, Gazette or neighbourhood rags,
and make a couple of phone calls.
You can get a place for immediate occupancy, often with a month
free.

No sweat.

Btw, anyone around know if UdM got a line faster than 2400 bps?  I got an old

I've been looking at these cars - 4WD, 4 door, both 91 and 92 models.
Does anyone out there have information about them?  I'd really like
to have a Mazda Navajo, but the budget doesn't allow.  Also, assuming
that this is a reasonable vehicle to purchase, does anyone have
information about good (or not good) places to make the purchase.

Thanks.

Does anybody have a dead (or alive) Tektronix 834 Data Comm Tester you
would be willing to part with? One of my masked roms died, and I'm looking
for a replacement.  I believe some went to the Tek Country Store a few
weeks ago, but I know stuff doesn't sit around there very long any more.

Here's hoping,
