by rigdonj＠cfl.rr.com

My turn. Where did the saying "better living through chemistry!" come from? The answer will surprise you.

> For those who don't know, 2112 is a Sci-Fi type story song >Yes. They got the idea for it from an Ayn Rand book. Neil Peart got it from "Anthem." A lot of his lyrics are inspired by Rand..... I remember reading an early interview with Geddy and he was talking about auditioning drummers after Rutsey left. He said Peart came in, and while they were impressed with his drumming abilities, they were also thinking, "Hey! This guy can READ!" That little fact also blew away my one high school English teacher...I had just gotten into Rush at that point, a fact which just boggled the minds of the stoners in school because Paul, the science-club-president, ham-radio-operator, A/V nerd had more Rush albums than they did....anyway, I knew my one teacher would really get into Peart's lyrics. I lent her AFWTK and Hemispheres, and she took 'em home to listen. She said that while she didn't care for the music that much, she was really impressed by Peart's writing. Really threw her when I told her that the drummer wrote the lyrics.... One day, during class, one of the stoners had somehow thrown out a Rush lyric during a discussion. The teacher said, "Oh! That's from "A Farewell To Kings" from Rush, isn't it?" If I had only had my camera with me....the look on his face was timeless.

Well, first let me apologize for the off-topic post, but I simply *must* respond. Please forgive me. Rush is tied with Dream Theater (a Rush-influenced group) as my favorite band. I'm young enough to never have been at a Rush show, but I *will* be at at least one show on this upcoming tour, since it may be their last. Since it seems that there are some other Rush fans here, let me throw out this link: http://www.rushpetition.com/ That's an online petition to communicate fans' desire to hear some rarities in the set list. They have a list of songs that have not beel played live for at least a decade, and you get to vote for 5 of them. The final results will be submitted to Rush's record company when the new album is released. If you are a Rush fan, it is your _duty_ to go sign the petition now! > For those who don't know, 2112 is a Sci-Fi type story song Yes. They got the idea for it from an Ayn Rand book. -- Jeffrey S.

NIC Card for MV3100

I _think_ >that all the higher models - m95, m96, etc. - have them. > I could be wrong. The uV3100-9x all have the connectors for Q-bus (and DSSI) but will not use them (AFAIK) until you issue the console command that convinces them that they are a VAX 4000-10x. Then you'll need to wire up the connectort to a Qbus expansion box. (The VAX 4000-10x case has a connector on the back that connects to the expansion cab via a suitable cable. Internally some sort of ribbon cable connects the connector on the case to the MLB). All these machines have an on-board ethernet anyway, so unless you need a second (or even thrid) ethernet, you really should use the built-in one. Antonio

what the heck is THIS?

by brian＠quarterbyte.com

http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2004360621 Anyone know what this is? It looks like a test probe maybe, one of those things that they press against an IC under test and which brings out all the leads for probing? Or, what? Doesn't look like it has anything to do with disk drives.

Actually it was the theme of their exhibit in the 1934 World's Fair. That's when they first announced/exhibited Nylon. But in the '60s it took on an entirely different meaning! :-) Joe

PDP-10 Emulators (was Re: Alpha AXP (was Re: MicroVAX 4000/VL C))

The KLH10 is an emulator, not real iron (and while the em is named KLH10, the proper name for the emulated machine is "KN10"). > You don't possibly have a machine running TOPS-10? - It would be great > fun to meet such a monitor again. I _loved_ that reply when you said > /M/P to FILDDT: "[patching the running monitor]" - try that with any > machine today! Dan does indeed have a KS10 (or two?), but I think he's still having trouble getting it properly operational. OTOH, he's had TOPS-10 up on the TS10 em before, and I thought Zane Healy was doing likewise. And I'll have one of the -10 ems up for my historical simulation of the IU Computing Network, but not for a year or so... > Etc., etc... - If I only had more time, I'd really need one of those > emulators! Once you get the emulator build done and the DEC tape images downloaded, it takes less than an hour to install TOPS-10 7.03... well, a little longer to get *all* the cusps and product set stuff loaded... -dq
