Gee, Bayla, now I'm beginning to get worried.  I called Pat's friend

Yeah, I think they're in NY still.  Natalie's probably got it --
they're having too much fun, and decided to stay on for a while.  After
all, school doesn't start for two or three weeks, and both of them
appeared to have flexible schedules.

Good.  I just think its kinda silly....but so is bitching about NEW words
like architect as a verb.  Or Ms.  Or whatever.  My only minor complaint
is the pc silliness, and the fact that it takes a perfectly good two syllable
word and changes it into 3 words totalling 4 syllables.  Reminds me of

shelf, but it costs a small fortune.

No downloading--SideKick copies right off the screen.  I save it

Architect as a verb (and architected as an adjective) are used a fair
bit in the computer business - usually to describe a system that was

Me too.  One thing I miss when using my voice-data modem is that I don't
hear that wonderful sound of the modem dialing and connecting.  That sound
always gives me a major high.

Interesting!  I've been discussing this very thing with Frank Peters.
My new hardwired connection in office is at times slower than office modem
(2400 baud) connection and enormously slower than my home (19200 baud)
connection.

That sounds strange to me.  How close is the tv set to the computer?
I'm sure somebody else on the list will be able to say something
meaningful on this subject.  All I can say is that I've never had any
tv-modem conflicts.  If I had to give one up, though, I know which it
would be...  If my tv set stopped working or fell apart right now, I
don't think I would make any attempt to get it repaired or to replace it.

What happens when you try to connect through the dialing directory?
Does it not seem to dial at all, or does it just not connect?  Are you
using regular Procomm or Procomm Plus?  (That last question isn't
really important.  Their behavior is almost identical.)

We saw City Slickers in the theater...one of our rare trips to the
movies...and really enjoyed it.  I don't know that I'd exactly classify it
as a "western," though.  You're right...the one with John Wayne and Henry
Fonda was Fort Apache...one of my very favorites.  It's part of the John
Ford Cavalry trilogy along with She Wore A Yellow Ribbon and Rio
Grande...all starred John Wayne.

Most video stores I've been in have a section for westerns, but I don't
really think interest in them here is any greater than in any other part
of the country.  :-)  I really like the three westerns mentioned
above...also The Searchers (also John Wayne and I think John Ford) and the
original (1939) Stagecoach (Wayne again).  My husband really likes
westerns, and when I asked him he recommended Warlock with Henry Fonda,
Ride the High Country (Joel McCrea and Randolph Scott), The Ox-Bow
Incident (Fonda), The Good Guys and the Bad Guys (Robert Mitchum and
George Kennedy), Two Rode Together (James Stewart and Richard Widmark), and
Broken Arrow (Stewart and Jeff Chandler).

Of course, *my* all-time favorite movie is John Ford's The Quiet Man.
