Worked for a publishing company, and one of the VP's played the pipes. He'd go up on the roof of the building at lunch at least once a week to play. While returning from an early lunch, I was approaching the building, enjoying his jamming, when an older women exiting the building heard the sound, looked up, then looked at me and said "My, I do *love* the sound of the saxophone"... <sheesh> -dq

They've stopped adding that at the McDonalds' in India... I think they also replace the "Big mac" with The Big Foghorn Leghorn"... -dq

True, at the cost of more real-estate... but when I'm done soaking a panel, the Tupperware went back to the kitchen cabinets, awaiting the making of the next Jello Salad... I never got as much flack for that as I did using Mom's roasting pan for oil changes. ;) -dq

Windows, std OS in Hell

Ben Franchuk: > Dateline 2035 > M$ has finally perfected windows. It now crashes before the install is > complete. Been there done that. Well, sort of. I have had Windows looking for things on the CD-ROM before it's gotten far enough in the install to have the CD-ROM drivers loaded. Grumble, grumble, grumble. That's why there's a /win98 directory on my wife's machine containing a copy of the install CD-ROM. Roger Ivie ivie(a)cc.usu.edu

blinkenlights for everybody - status update

by GOOI＠oce.nl

Hi all. I am making progress with the project. The core board is nearly finished, I hope to burn the simple monitor software in EPROM this weekend. See http://home.hetnet.nl/~tshaj/pdpsite/homebrew/startframe.html which is updated. If you wonder "how could he write the software that fast?" : simple; I had that already running in my SpaceShip Simulator. "What's that", you are wondering now... Have a look at http://home.hetnet.nl/~tshaj and click on the starfield picture .... (I am not forbidding you to click on the PDP-11/35 console ...) Have a nice weekend, - Henk.
