Da Vinci Days beginning Friday - a three day festival featuring a contest to
see how far you can hurl an obsolete personal computer with a big wooden

I think we should massively e-mail their chamber of commerce about the
enormous stupidity of that event, this is an event supposed to celebrate
technology not destroy it!

I don't see any harm in it as long as the computer they hurl is a PC
running Windows 98.

If it is an XT, VAX, C64, Amiga, or whatever - I think humanity could
spare one for a bit of fun.

Although I haven't witnessed this event I'm told that there was some sort
of sanity filter on all objects launched. I'm hoping that included making
sure that the rare machines didn't meet this fate.

There must be something in the air in corvallis Oregon. I've a very dear
friend of over thirty years (and I'm not quit forty yet) who is computer
literate ( a graphic designer) who cannot for the life of him fathom why I
collect these "things". I suspect the over use of antibiotics myself :-)

It'd be more fun if they would stake out some IBM lawyers in a distant
field as targets. Or maybe Compaq executives. Of course, then some
killjoy like me would load up an ES-9000 and take all the fun out of
it. Maybe they could award points for hitting a given sales exec with
the appropriate brand of computer. (Anthony - how about raping
