Are there any stores in Portland, especially Beaverton, that sell hobby
games?  I'm looking to buy Advanced Squad Leader, but I can't find a
store that carries it other than the Military Corner.  Now, don't get me
wrong...I like the Military Corner...but they close before I can get to
them on weekdays.  Neither Pegasus book store carries the game.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

For the last several years I have been renting houses through Walt Parrott.
He manages several houses in Lincoln City (Roads End and other places).  He
may have other rentals, but I'm not sure.  His phone # in Portland is
760-8654.  I've had very good luck dealing with him.

Another possibility is through Carolyn Plummer Real Estate in Lincoln
City.  I've rented through them before.  They manage lots of houses.
I think that the management side of the business is called Pacific
Retreats.

Good luck.

Gosh, Oregon sure does sound like an *awful* place to live.  It must have
slid *way* down hill since I was last there.  Axe murders (it's a lumber
jack kinda place) lurking behind every door (or is that Californian).  How
can anyone *live* in a place like that.

*sarcasm off*

Probably the best way to figure out what an area is like is to read the
area Sunday news.  For Portland that's the Sunday Oregonian.

Actually, the reason there isn't going to be a Sylvan Station is
because they didn't think enough people in that area would use it, 
so I don't think they're too worried about the zoo parking lot.
Even if they were, with OMSI moving out, they'd probably *encourage*
it's use as a park-n-ride, I would think.

		       _Doorway_to_the_Future_

		      A Lecture by R. J. Miller

	   Human beings have always taken  pride  in  the  fact
      that  humanity has survived and prospered across the cen-
      turies because of its ability to adapt to changing condi-
      tions.   Our  capacity for logic and memory has permitted
      us to predict the future from the  past  with  remarkable
      accuracy.   The  fossil  record is full of creatures that
      did not survive because they could not adapt.

	   Today the human race is undergoing  the  most  rapid
      environmental changes in its entire history.  But the fu-
      ture will not be just a simple projection  of  the  past.
      The physical limitations of both our natural and man-made
      (social and cultural)  environments  will  force  radical
      changes in our own behavior.

	   The danger is that if we do not perceive and respond
      to those changes soon enough, we will join the  dinosaurs
      in  the fossil record as another failed attempt at adapt-
      ability.  For over 50  years, Technocracy Inc.  has  been
      pointing  out  that virtually all of the ills of our pre-
      sent society are directly traceable to the operation of a
      price system.

	   The  application  of technology to our social system
      will force  the collapse of the price system.  If no  new
      system  is waiting to take its place, the resulting mael-
      strom of chaos could destroy human society irretrievably.

      ter, 234 N.E. 28th Avenue,  at  the  corner  of  Everett
      Street.  July 25th at 1:00pm and 7:00pm.

An easier way to deal with this is to have the ZOO validate your
parking ticket on admission.  This way, if you visit the ZOO you park
for free.  Otherwise, you pay.

Hoping you realize that Bob's posting is either tongue in cheek or 
a desperate attempt to convince one more Californian not to come here.

This is a great place to live.  Trouble is it's growing by leaps and 
bounds, becoming more L.A. like every month.

Contact Chamber of Commerce Portland, OR and Vancouver, Wa.  They'll 
tell you good stuff.

Seems this fellow died and arrived at Heaven's Pearly Gates.  St Peter
looks him up in the book, reads, shakes head, mutters, reads some
more.  Finally says "We can't possibly let you in here.  You'll have
to go down below."  So the fellow goes down below.  While waiting at
the other gate, he sees a group of people come out and head up.
Pretty soon another group ascends.  And another.  When the Devil comes
out to see him, he asks who are the people who are leaving.  The Devil
replies "Oh, those are Oregonians.  They're too wet to burn."

Several of us here in Folsom are considering trying to transfer up to Intel
in the Portland area and would like to know more about the area, such as
climate, recreation, cost of living, the music scene, etc.
Both of us have driven through Portland but that's about all. Our knowledge
is limited to the hearsay rumors we get of Portland folks having webbed feet
and such.
We'd appreciate detailed info on rental or purchase price for average homes
in the Aloha area, what the crime rate is there, how many days per year of
sunshine/rain/clouds, etc, also whether there's a decent symphony there and
what the live music club scene is like. As an active musician my decision on
whether to move there is very dependent on this last question.
Thanks for any advice,

Distribution: pdx

During a recent visit, a friend of mine gave me a hard disk drive that
had been scrapped out as "defective" during the repair of some piece of
equipment or other at a company he consults for.  He happened to be
present while the equipment was being serviced, and talked the service
rep into giving him the old drive.  It's got an ST-506 style interface,
so I plugged it onto my IBM emulator's controller to see what would happen.

The sound it emitted as it spun up began as a low whirr, and then gradually
built into a keening whine, as if it were preparing for a jump across time
itself.  I waited expectantly, but just when I imagined that the drive's
outlines were beginning to blur, there was a loud CLUNK sound, and the
drive's whine began to decay away.  The IBM emulator window said:

   Not ready reading drive C:.   Abort,Retry,Ignore?.

I'm not familiar enough with hard drives to decipher its specs, but
it's a half-height, 5.25"-wide unit with a CDC logo.  Its flaw map
contains references to head numbers as high as 3, and some pretty high
cylinder numbers.  I get the impression that this thing had quite a
bit of capacity when it was healthy, so I'm wondering if it would be
worthwhile to have it repaired.

Can anyone recommend a local hard drive repair service?  I'm not
interested in recovering the data on the drive, just restoring its
function.  It seems as if its problem lies in its motor speed control,
as opposed to the surfaces, heads, or suchlike; does that improve its
chances for rehabilitation?


Grateful for any pointers,

Claudia's is at 30th and SE Hawthorne.  Don't know about the Browns
backers but it's a fun place to watch sports on the tube (especially
Blazer games) and they have a good beer selection and good food.  And
five pool tables.

I'm looking for someplace to play volleyball in the Portland area.  In Seattle,
there are a number of recreational volleyball groups and classes.  Just about
every day of the week, you can go to one of two or three high school gyms in
the city, pay $3 (I think it recently went up to $4), and play volleyball for
a couple of hours.

Is there anything similar around here?  I don't necessarily want organized
leagues, but I do want organization of some sort-- at least to the extent where
someone's in charge of the thing, perhaps maintaining a mailing list.

Basically, I want to play volleyball.  Any help is appreciated.

 Yes they do and they meet at Claudia's, which is not downtown -- but "up

Hi,

Does anyone know of any software (PD or commercial) that will print 
sheet music? I'm not hooking up a MIDI, I don't want computer generated
sound, I just want to input notes (into a music editor?) and then print
them out on a printer.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Doug Carter.
