Yo Chris,

 JW>Huh? What's that? Don't think I've ever heard of that one! Who's
 JW>the main
 JW>character?
 CC> Don't know the main character.  Forgot.  However, the movie is
 CC> about Virtual Reality.  It is by Stephen King. 
Don't think I've heard of that one by Stephen King. Actually, I'm not much 
of a Stephen King fan. He seems kinda twisted.

 CC> Um.....mines slightly worse than yours.  It is a 386 as well
 CC> but with a clock speed of 20Hz.  I'm considering selling it next year
 CC> or year after, and getting a new one. 
What processor are you looking for? Actually, the 386-20 is pretty good with
the right operating system. I guess you're using Windows, eh. 3.1? I'm 
hoping that a 32bit windows will come out (one that I CAN afford) and NOT
NT. From what I heard, NT will  not work on my machine, and will definitely
be too expensive! OS/2 2.x is starting to look pretty good. I'm tempted to
give it a try but I JUST upgraded to Win3.1!!!
 
 JW>alright. How's
 JW>Aussie doing?
 CC> Not too bad.  I'm just dissapointed in that our soccer team
 CC> didn't make the finals to play for gold.  We have to settle for a
 CC> bronze or a 4th placing. 
Well, I think today is the last day for the Olympics. I think Canada's doing 
its best ever with 17 medals as of Friday. I think Sylvie Freschette got
ripped off by the Olympic commitee. It seems like the Olympic commitee is
on the United States' side. I mean, for one example, some guy doing the
"Hammer Throw" (I think that's what it's called). He stepped over the boundary
3 times in a row, and normally, he would have been disqualified. However, the
judges gave him a 4th try without giving an explanation. I think if it were
anyone else who stepped over that many times, he would have been immediately
disqualified. 

 JW>the runner passes a "safe" line. We're in the semi's next week.
 JW>We should
 JW>make it to the finals.
 CC> Good luck.  I'm sure you'll do well, and have fun.
We were supposed to play a Semi-final game yesterday (Aug. 8) but after
just 2  plays, the storm rolled in. What a downpour!!! The whole field looked
like a river! It's been rescheduled for today at 2:00 and the finals at 4:00.
Well, we'll see how things go today. It was  going well yesterday; the second
play yesterday was a double play...in our favour!

 CC> I've just recovered from yesterday.  It was a tiring day yesterday.  I
 CC> was at uni from 8am to 5:30pm.  I had a better day today.  But I'll
 CC> need to do some work tonight if I am to stay up to date. My
 CC> friends and I have put together an indoor soceer team to be played
 CC> against other uni students at lunches.  WE ONE OUR FIRST
 CC> GAME!!!!!!!!!! cos the other team didn't show up.  Our next match is
 CC> in 1.5 weeks.  We had a practice match against a team which had
 CC> players from the best two teams.  We lost.  By the way I'm the goal
 CC> keeper. 
8 to 5:30. Sounds like the fun I had back in Uni! Soccer sounds like fun. 
I rarely play it...too much running!! Yes, I'm lazy! But I do know that it's
one of the "healthier" sports since it requires so much running. Goal keeper
eh. Well, I guess you would be better known as a moving target! :] Tough
job...such a big net! Practice hard!

Anyways, I gotta get goin'. I've gotta go to church now.

TTYL

Jason
