 KL> Acutally, I'm not hat scared of needles, as long as they wipe some

 KL> once when I was 12!
Hey come on, it' not that bad. I sometimes go give blood and their needles 
are a lot bigger....I mean A LOT... but as long as you don't think about 
the needle going in, it doesn't hurt that much.
 
Oh yeah, I just upgraded my computer from 4 to 8 MB. I got the extra 4 from
a friend who got it from his supplier and gave them to me for a great price.
The chips are listed at 70ns but are actually 65ns..which is to say they are
good! Well, recently, I've been getting Memory Parity Errors. I mentioned
this to the guy that sold me the original 4 MB, and he said that probably
the new chips are slower and so can't keep up with the old chips. I say 
"cow chips"! I think the original memory chips that he sold me are the slow
ones. Anyways, I told my friend this and he was nice (make that NICE) enough
to give me a set of the newer chips in return of the older ones. And so...
the drama continues......:]

 KL> The first day actually went quite well, considering that there were
 KL> whole bunch of forsh trying to locate their lecture halls and I was
 KL> not one of them.
Great! I just started school this past Tues. (Sept. 8). It was mostly just 
orientation...you know...talked about fire'n safety, radiation safety.....
and an introduction to the new cancer centre...which I've seen 3 times
already (snore!) since I've been working at the centre for the past 4 months.
Anyways, I got a chance to work on the machines on Thurs and Fri. I was a 
new experience. I liked it although I felt really stupid 'cause I didn't
know too many of the terms that they were using. Oh well, the therapists
were really nice and didn't make me feel too stupid. :]
 
 JW> It's got fax capabilities too. Now, I  can fax my assignments to U of
 JW> Waterloo instead of mailing it (can't really rely on Canada Post).

 KL> Can you, really (fax your assignments)?  Why do you have anything to
 KL> do with U of Waterloo?  As I recall, you don't go there, do you?
Well, the Radiation Therapy course that I'm taking requires that I take 
several correspondance courses with U of Waterloo. What happens is that 
they send me the lectures on audio tape and also the assignments are sent
to me in advance. What I do, is to listen to the tapes and do the assignments
and hand them in on time. It's not too difficult. I've gone through 2 
lectures already and there's only 19. The course doesn't end until Jan. 93
so I think I'm a little ahead....not for long. :] The Radiation Therapy
course is here in Hamilton (not sure if I mentioned that).

 JW> also recently got some Bible software from Texas. It's pretty good! The
 JW> whole Bible (NIV version) fits onto 3 MB of disk space.

 KL> That's pretty nifty!  Only 3MB... I suppose it is a DOS app, right?
Yep. Dos that runs well in a Dos window.

 KL> I have both Word and WP for Windoze but I'm still sticking to the
 KL> good 'ol WP for DOS since I'm more used to the template.  Word for
 KL> Windoze is very versitile and has a lot of functions.  It's my second
 KL> choice beside WP for DOS.  I heard that Ami Pro is more business like.
Well, I called and I can get a great deal on Ami Pro 3.0 (well under $200), 
so I've asked my friend to get it. I should have it in 2 weeks (they have 
to order it in). I was tempted to get WPforWin but I heard that it is 
extremely slow...make that ssssllllloooooowwww...... so I thought..FORGET IT!
I was thinking about Word for Win but that was a little bit more expensive
than Ami Pro 3.0 so I figure I'd get the more recently released program.
I'll give you a report on how Ami Pro 3.0 works. 

 KL> ... The David Duke Virus - It makes your screen go totally white.
I like the tagline...I think I'll steal it! :]
