<chortle>.  Oh, man, well, if there can be alt.religion.kibology
(which I assume is modelled after this Kibo person), and if we can
have a poster of Bob where I work, then alt.fan.the-hartfie is a
possibility, I suppose.

Thank you to everyone who has sent fond farewells.  My virtual family
is helping me through this time in a sensational way. Y'all
are making me feel wanted at a time when Drew is making me feel very
unwanted, and I can't thank all of you enough for that.  I don't know
what I've ever done to deserve such treatment--I'm just me--but thank
you.  All of thoses msgs are going into a special folder which will
be printed and downloaded before I go.

I did manage to wangle a modem today (the dir. of our computer shop
is *lending* me one!) so, assuming I can tell my father just what he
can do with his phone bills, I'll be reachable.   My home address and
phone # are in my .plan.

   This is a nice way of putting it, and how I try to as often as possible.
   Prisons are not places where one generally becomes better adapted to
   society on release. They're "human zoos," *cages*, and they're colleges
   of crime *NOT* because prisoners learn how to commit crimes, but
   because to adapt to prison life, prisoners learn those social skills
   least-likely to be valued or useful upon release. Prisons simply
   don't work, but we build more of 'em and waste more tax dollars
   each year. Pumping good money after bad makes no sense, and finally
   even conservatives are beginning to recognize this.

I think the mid to late 1960's was an excellent time for rock.  The

I asked my source of wisdom on things electronic why it was that we
turn off the computer but don't unplug it.  Source said that the power
comes in on the positive line, and goes out on the neutral (negative?)
to complete the circuit.  When you've got things switched off, it's
just like one of those knife switches being opened.  Open circuit,
nothing flows.

So what we're all talking about is if a surge comes down the line and
jumps the gap?  Or is the knife switch not really the case?

I've got a new option now.  Yesterday my neighbor said that he has a

take but a minute to put in a 200-mg disk -- that maybe I would just as
soon trade my old one (386/25) for it instead of upgrading.  That would
have the advantage of being able to easily move everything from old disk
to new one with something like Laplink (which I don't have, but I think
he does).

Oops.  I have been off line for 24 hours and just saw this.
The best address for sending mail to Anne (that I can post) is:

     Anne Diffily, Managing Editor
     The Brown Alumni Monthly
     Box 1854  Brown University
     Providence, RI  02912

Of course she also has a home address, but I can send that privately

The offer is serious, if no one is going to be offended by
refusals.  In fact, requests should probably be sent off-list,
and I'll put them on list if I do it.   I guess the criterion for
whether to do it or not will be whether *my* interest is piqued--
or if you say "pretty please with sugar on top."

I work in the Computing Center here and loved your description of how
a computer eats and destroys files.  Hope you don't mind if I save this
work of art for posterity.  Showed it to one of our system administrators
and she was ROFLGO.  And I am so glad I am finally caught up on 600+
messages so I can answer in a timely fashion ie. before a thread is dead
and gone.

The subject heading was a bad joke, Ruth--it was supposed to be
something like carbon-copy dating--since we were talking about
typewriters *and* because I figure we're about the same age.
Sorry.

contritely,

More news about the baby:
  Tom brought Joanne and the baby home yesterday (their home, not here :(
I was surprised about that, but I guess it's 48 hours and out nowadays.
Everyone is doing well; Aaron sleeps quite a bit and doesn't scream.

Any ideas on a baby gift; it's been 15 years since I had to buy for a
baby boy.
