Subject: Accommodations near Australian Open?
Date: 31 Dec 92 18:01:11 GMT
Reply-To: david_spitzler@next.com

Hi,

I am looking for inexpensive accommodations in Melbourne at the end of  
January.  I want to be close to both Melbourne and the tennis center for  
the Australian Open tennis tourney.

Can anyone make any recommendations?  First and foremost, I'm looking for  
clean and safe.  I am open to shared accomodations (i.e. dormitory-style  
youth hostel) but would prefer a private room with a shared bath, if  
that's feasible given my low budget.

Please respond directly to me, and if anyone needs a summary, I'll be  
happy to repost.

Thanks you.

Hi,

In the Jan 93 Silicon Chip a company called "A-One" is advertising
some very interestingly priced pre- and power amplifier modules 
at very reasonable prices.  Anyone on the net dealt with them?
Anyone know anything about these modules?  Seen one?  Used one?
Any feedback (no pun intended) on these modules appreciated ...

Thanks,

Heard about the Great Tasmanian Bike Ride? 20th. Feb to 28th. Feb from
Devonport to Hobart. Organised by Bicycle Victoria, it costs $350 for all meals,
luggage transport (don't need panniers!), medical, mechanics etc. Expect
about 1000 people. It does involve setting up your own tent, but remember
the touring cyclist's motto: Sleep rough, but eat well!

Contact BV: (03) 328 2000 (Yes, they've finally moved to North Melbourne).

Summary: where and what to look for

Hi,

After getting various bits of myself into a very uncomfortable raw state
during a recent 200km ride, methinks I need bike shorts. I usually ride
approximately 180km every week, but not in one go, which doesn't seem to
cause problems.  
 Now, the question is what should I look for. Something tells me that the
 more padding, the better. Then again, prices range from about $40 to
 well over $100 (I've seen as high as $140). The latter seems a bit 
 much to me. Or do you get what you pay for? In short, I'm interested in
 what others have experienced.

	The best solution to the language barrier problem that I have 
seen is the format used in 'Allo 'Allo :), where they all speak english
but the accents are untranslatable. So you could easily tell if the
race was actually speaking english or not by the silly accent.

	Heh, you could even show a universal translator in action, by an
oxford accent. (It would be hard on the actors who play the aliens to come
up with yet another different silly accent. 
	Gee you could even say that one language is similar to another, but not
the same, by the fact that both people speaking Rrroll their R's ;)

Has anyone else read the biography on Arthur C. Clarke, "Odyssey"? I 
found it absolutely fascinating. I never knew that he'd been living in
Sri Lanka since the fifties, and has been affected by polio for quite
some time. And the work that was done at the British Interplanetary
Society in the thirties and forties sounded incredibly advanced and
fun. Full of surprises!

Sorry to disappoint you...
Its not a baaad movie, its just not a good movie.
Some nice special effects, shame about the plot.
Actually is a fairly reasonable action movie but
has to be taken with a fairly liberal dose of suspension
of disbelief.

No, but it was the lure of the ship that got the Enterprise snared in
the first place, thus with no ship to go after why would anyone else
go there? I agree they should have blown the whole area but they couldn't
because the generators used the torpedo energy :(

Remember that Picard was going to move on to the next assignment just
before they found the ship, so why woulkd anyone else stay?

I'm not sure if I'm totally welcome here, not being from "down-under" (I'm
from "up-over"--Ottawa, Canada), but this is the first time I've run
across a science fiction area in my short travels.  I'm also a big ST:TNG
fan (literally, I've got scar tissue on my head from where it bumps the
doorways), and find it interesting that the episodes you are seeing seem
to be pretty old by our standards.  Of course, I'm just getting over my
disappoint at reading a "spoiler" from the States, where they are a week
ahead of us, apparently.  Aaaaanyway, regarding the comment about this
area being taken over by Trekkies--Has anyone read "Earth" by David Birn? 
It's got some interesting stuff on this whole worldwide computer network
thing that I'm just beginning to uncover.  Aside from the interesting
ideas, the book isn't that great, as he kind of loses control of the story
towards the end... But it _did_ keep me entertained.

P.S. E-mail is always welcome!

I felt that the main drawback wasn't that it was "something like the 'net",
but that it was exactly like the net.  I did like the idea of projecting
UseNet onto a galaxy-wide culture, but it would have been better if Vinge
had tried to make it fix the context a bit better.  You had messages which
ostensibly represented groups of civilizations, but which sounded like they
were written by a night operator at the "interstellar gateway"...

I agree.  The above was a minor point;  I almost didn't go out to Christmas

space opera!

No, Picard told Worf to destroy everything... I seem to remember seeing the

The generators used the phaser energy, the torpedoes are dumb missiles,
ie point at what ever you want to blow up and fire, once it's fired
it just keeps going till it hits something then blows it to pieces.
If a torp. hits an asteroid the generator would be destroyed by the physical
stress of the explosion (the asteroid it was attached to being pounded into
dust).
