It was announced on the news tonight that Canwest has just acquired 15% of
Channel 10, so it looks like we will be getting more Canadian shows. Is
Forever Knight a Canadian or US production?

I never suggested such a thing. I indicated that such judgements should,
IMHO, be presented with respect. To do otherwise could well, I think,
be taken as a judgement of the person. It would be hard to see how
such an attitude could be intended otherwise.

Comments: To: words-l@uga.cc.uga.edu

  Well, happy New Year to you people. I know you're a bit slow over there, but
here people are shooting off fireworks and generally making fools of
themselves. Let me make a fool of myself in a small way, for I think of
a time in the past:

                           The dream

The snow! The snowman I made alone in the yard
had no special features, but was rolled from the ground
in our back yard, one day when the warmth was there,
I, its creator, working intently with big woolen mittens.
More usually the snow sifted drily through our fingers
or made creaking noises as we stepped on it, or sprayed wildly
as we fell on our skis, going down the challenging slope.
After the warm days the snow sank groaning, the high drifts
settling, making the walls of fortresses, to burrough through.
The winding passages took us from the road to the ramparts
from which we surveyed the vast plains, the enemy hordes,
our own snowballs piled up, a powerful deterrent!
Then trudging across the river, the ice so thick not even the grownups
thought to stop us, we climbed the trees to pick the pine cones
to sell, that brought us our own, real money.  A pint of cones
ferried back across the river carried its own sense
of adventure, picked from the frozen trees of winter,
my brother climbing the highest branches with me below.
Then coming into the house, stomping our feet, little lumps of snow
everywhere in our jackets and pants, making our socks tinkle,
the dry brittle wetness of outdoors was shut out as we settled
in dry indoors clothing, barefoot and bareheaded,
with a cup of hot chocolate, our cheeks red and warm, at the kitchen table,
telling our mother of the things we had seen and done.
Was there ever a story more strange and true than this? The deep dark of winter
I carry with me still, a solid comfort in a boring wet season.

Ah, Anne, you've discovered *my* favorite recipe for black-eyed peas!
Several years ago it failed me, though...I didn't read the label closely
enough, and got the kind with jalapenos.  My husband loved them, but my
daughter and I had a tough time eating enough of them to have good luck.

Ed Krol's book _The Whole Internet: User's Guide and Catalogue_ is the

at the UNIX Expo in NY, so how bad can he be?:-)

The Dartmouth Library Shakespeare project has all the works broken

Robert,

If you were a student here, you could buy said merchandise for the
following. Bear in mind that these figures closely approximate what a
typical medium-sized Mac store might buy at wholesale.

Mac IIsi 5/80 1533.00
Extended keyboard II 160.30
14" Trinitron display 468.00

I recently purchased the SupraFaxModem 14.4, and have had very good luck
with it. The fax software is about a stupidly designed as Apple's own
package (sigh), but the modem works sweet. Mac's Place has them for
349.00. Give your business to companies that only deal in Mac products:
it'll make the world a better place.

And here's a little <kiss> on your scars with the hope that they feel better.
