The cyber-rat on Kittens table somehow manages to get a startled expression
on it's furry face. "ACK! Not -THAT- rat! He's a thief wanted by law
enforcement officials on several planets. Argus only has the Yakuza after
him. (Only?) I've read those books too, but never thought to connect them
with my cyber-rat remotes. Good stories, all."

Keeping his jacked-in, Rider inserts these comments in the
conversation...

"As much as I know, the GIF format is pretty standarize(sp?) since it
was created by the folk of compu$erve, and having every platform there,
this was their solution to have pics that could be read by all types of
computers. there is GIF viewer for every platform (I think).

Sounds are another matter, but then, for those "sound'natic", they are a
punch of converter available (example in the ibm compat world a windoze
application called Sound Tools can read about every kind of format their
is (i.e. WAV, SOU, SND, VOC...) and even convert them for the more
limited players that does one type.

The BIGGEST trouble, like you mentioned Jason, are the size of those
files!! And when it comes to compression/decompression prg, their is NO
cross=platform standard..."

With that he waves to Jason and Bi-bulb, and keeps on reading...

Some of us appreciate you for a degree of leaven that you
bring to the Place.  (No, leaven has no relationship to
levity, other than the linguistic one.)

I used to date Oscar Wilde, or rather someone who was a fair
impersonation of him (even looked like Wilde, and was a good
enough approximation that many folks called him "Oscar" instead
of "Dean").  (I was from Oscar/Dean's Lily Langry period---he's 
(appropriately enough) happily "married" to another man, now.)
He was always good for sparklingly cynical dinnertable
conversation.  I loved him for his conversation, though his
impractical artistic temperament drove me nuts.

Cultured cynicism hath its price.

	"I'll have to take a look at that story.  I'd guess Snark was
the one who mentioned it at Toscanini's, since I told the idea to
him-- it was the result of getting into QL via the USA cable reruns
during October, when C-Span was rerunning old presidential debates.
When I saw Ford expressing that particular gem of wisdom, it seemed
like the obvious logical explanation.  (That debate also reminded me
that bad as the '92 election was, it could have been worse.  Choosing
between Gerald "There is no Soviet domination of Eastern Europe" Ford
and Jimmy Carter at a time when the US faced increasing Soviet
influence on several fronts, an OPEC that looked like a credible
threat, and many worse trends at home and abroad than the eighties or
nineties have yet provided us makes choosing between Bush and Clinton
look like a picnic.  Though conversely it raised the matter of the
last time we elected a southern Democrat who was perceived as a
moderate over a Republican ticket-puncher who didn't seem to have any
clear vision of his own... :-) ) I figured anyone who would claim that
he'd been to Eastern Europe and seen them as independent, sovereign
countries _had_ to be speaking from the 90's, not the 70's.  Of
course, I never figured out what Sam was there _for_, but I expect the
other Michael's story will clear that up."

That gets a strange look from Jason. He opens the satchel that is next to
him on the floor by poking it with one foot. A somewhat large rat looks out
of the bag. It looks much like any other rat, but it's eyes are perhaps
just a bit large, and have a slightly metalic sheen to them. It's claws are
metal, too. It climbs out of the bag and scurries over to Kitten and /*.
Then it climbs up on the table, sits back on it's hind end, and makes a
somewhat clumsy bow towards Kitten. A human voice similar to Jason's but
with a harder edge to it, comes from it's location. "So, you're this
'Kitten' person Jason has told me about, Hmmmm?" The rat cocks it's head.
"Very nice . . . to meet you, that is. I like the hair. Name's Argus. Heard
you like Rats, and I deal with them a lot in a somewhat different form.
This rigger remote, for example. Looks like a Rat, but it's mechanical.
What can you tell me about this R.A.T.S newsgroup? It sounds interesting."

The rat looks back and forth from Kitten to /*, then drops back to all
fours and waits for an answer.

Feather is startled out of her deep contemplation of her glass of Brandy
Alexander.  She looks up, and before her eyes can focus, she asks:

"PARAkeet?  What there's two of you?"

THEN she's sees the one other bird.  "AH!  Hello.  I am Feather, a small
gray bird of an unknown species.  I don't think you know me; I have only
been here for a few months.  But it's nice to see another avian here.

a doubletake. He manages to control himself and strides over to her.
