Well, I've done a certain amount of business with Mr. Newfeld, and every transaction has been a little flaky around the edges: order (and prepay for) two kits, only receive one, wrong product received, etc. The last time *he* called *me* and told me about some obscure expansion devices he had "found" in his warehouse, and did I want them? We agreed on a price, he charged my Visa, and two months later I still had not received the merchandise. He then stopped answering my phone calls and emails, and, sadly, I had to threaten one of his subordinates over the phone in order to get Mr. Newfeld's attention. Ultimately, he did not ship the promised goods, but sent something else instead. Also, I and others have made *very* generous offers to him concerning large quantities of other merchandise he claims to have "mountains" of, and his response has been to ignore us. No counter-offer, nothing but dead silence. This is the behavior of someone who's "trying to make a living?" Seems counter-productive to me . . . almost like some sort of weird power trip . . .

Totaly OT: DMV

Since I moved back from Manhattan (late '98) I've rarely had to wait more than 10 minutes for anything. In this period I've been in there quite a few times registering two different cars, taking the test for a motorcycle permit, registering a bike, etc. It's still a gummint bureaucracy, but I have to say it's not a half bad service they're running these days. --Steve. smj(at)spamfree.crash.com (lose spamfree to get through, m'kay?)

Just a thought, there is a festival coming up this next month for Apple II wackos, I'm thinking of actually going. It is in Kansas and is apparently called KFest, oh how original. Anyway, it would be neat to go and save money, if someone from Denver or CO (or Utah) is going, maybe I can hook up and carpool to save some money. Apparently Steve Wozniak is going to conduct the Keynote and be present for a good part of the week, the festival (or conference) is 5 days, with tutorials, old programming stuff, new, gettogethers, hang outs, get drunk and be silly kinda stuff.http://www.kfest.org/email me directly if you are going and want to carpool.

OT RE: Suicide chicken in NZ...

by Robert_Feldman＠jdedwards.com

Possibly the idea was taken from the recent movie "The Dancer Upstairs", which is about the Sendero Luminoso in Peru. IIRC, in the movie they use a chicken to deliver dinamite. I know that the real Sendero did use a dinamite-carrying duck at least once.
