That's what my husband said, too.  Yes, well.  Of course, this is the same
husband who said our children would never watch Saturday morning
cartoons or have Barbie dolls.  Hah!

Actually, I'm pretty happy with *our* cats...not my cats, you
understand...each daughter had a cat, and now they're *our* cats.  Cat
Ballou (who was almost named Kitty Wells) belongs to our daughter who
lives at home. Toscanini (originally Tosca, but the vet lied) was adopted
by our other daughter five years ago while she was in college...her
landlady promptly made her get rid of him, so she flew him home for us to
adopt.  We now know that it costs $30 to fly a less than 1-lb. kitten from
Austin to Houston.

	Yup, every morning.  Yesterday morning Laquidera *completely*
cracked me up doing an interview with the red sox pitcher (I'm blanking
-- the hot stuff one).  They were talking about how the pitcher had
thrown a hamburger bun at a Herald reporter for publishing some
rediculous story about him.  Charles asked, "I just have one question:
Are you a prick?"

	This morning we had Father Guido Sarducci performing an
exorcism so the Sox could win a game... Something about tapping
hamsters on the head and feeding them nougat.  There was also some
song about Inga of the Unified Team and big erections...  But I thought
that better suited Bradley J.'s Sex Palace show.

I do.  I have no reliable binary file transfer method from McGill to

I would think that anytime a woman's presumably feminine "charms" are
adduced as evidence of her qualifications, it qualifies as creating a
work environment or situation that creates gender-derived discomfort
that can hamper ones ability to perform as expected. The letter sounds
like a classic case of the code specified by most schools (we have a
standard definition shared by most state institutions that I can post
if anybody's interested). Under our guidelines, which are reasonable,
the letter would arguably qualify, and the woman herself need not be
the one to respond, although it's not clear, especially given the
"confidentiality" of most letters, whether the woman or one acting on
her behalf could actually file a complaint.

I think, given the letter-writer's comment as posted, that I'd have to
question whether his behavior towards students is ok.  It may be fine
in the classroom, but letter-writing is a kind of behavior, and in
this case it may be innocent and ill-considered, but definitely not
ok. It's one thing to appreciate beauty, but not a strong
qualification to emphasize as an attribute for grad school.

I started to say that the storage space is irrelevant since you would
want to store the gifs on your own computer anyway, but then I realized
that they do need to pass briefly through your mainframe.  I guess you'd
have to stick with gifs of less than 300k -- of which there are many.

Ok.  What is a SCSI disk, how much do they cost, and where do I get one?
And will my permanent IP address work if tn3270 makes qemm go into tantrums
(sometimes, anyway) when I use the slip driver?  I'm still considering

YUK, (2) I've heard from a local friend that the only time os/2 has crashed
for him was when he used tn3270 in the same way I use it, (3) communication
programs are slow on os/2 -- and they are what I'm most interested in, and
(4) for the cost of 4 more mg of RAM I might be able to do some more
meeting-e-friends wandering.  Those are not listed in order.  In fact, I
think reverse order is probably right for them.

> Turning serious for a moment... I'd like to think that whatever

But I *am* serious.  Oh -- just thought of another worry.  I unplug my
computer during thunder storms and when I leave town.  That would make the
files unavailable at such times.

P.S.  Hmmmm.  While Frank is getting me a permanent IP address, how
about also running fiber optic cable to my house?  That way I wouldn't
have to rely on my semi-connection with campus net via VDM.  My house
is closer to the campus than some parts of campus are from each other.
I find that an excellent idea.

Subject:      The Problem *IS* With DV!
Comments: To: words-l@uga.cc.uga.edu

I just tried downloading a long text file outside of Desqview.  NO
GARBLING!  So my recent problem is apparently with DV.  I wonder why
the problem didn't show up earlier.  It worked fine for many months.

Now the big question is whether to go on and get os/2 (plus some more
RAM) right away or wait until the new, supposedly better version of os/2
comes out in September(?).

I didn't know my opinions were all that funny.
