10 a few comments from the insurance records:
11 i thought the window was open. i found it was closed when i put my head through
12 i pulled away from the side of the road, glanced at my mother-in-law,
13 and drove over the embankment.
14 i had been driving for 40 years when i fell asleep at the wheel and had
15 the accident.
16 coming home, i drove into the wrong driveway and collided with a tree
17 i don't have.
18 the other car collided with mine without giving any warning of his
19 intentions.
20 a pedistrian hit me and went under my car.
21 i collided with a stationary car coming the other way.
22 in my attempt to kill a fly, i drove into a telephone pole.
23 the telephone pole was approachig fast. i was attempting to swerve
24 out of its path when it struch my front end.
25 an invisible car came out of nowhere, struck my car, and disappeared.
26 the guy was all over the rod. i had to swerve a number of times before
27 i hit him.
28 there were plenty of lookers-on, but no witnesses.
29
30 so, don't be surprised when they say they didn't see you.

32 good luck, and beware

34 HELLO THERE, THIS IS YOUR SYSTEM OPERATOR SPEAKING....
35 AS YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED TO YOUR LEFT, THE 'B' DRIVE HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING
36 SOME DISK ERRORS. WHILE THERE IS NO REASON TO BE ALARMED, IT SHOULD BE
37 MENTIONED THAT THE DISK WAS OVER ONE YEAR OLD AND WAS IN CONTINUOS USE
38 THROUGHOUT THAT TIME PERIOD. IN FACT THE DISK THAT WAS IN DRIVE 'B'
39 WAS THE ORIGINAL DISK THAT THE BWMS SYSTEM WAS BROUGHT UP ON, AND HAS
40 BEEN IN USE EVER SINCE. (HOW'S THAT FOR A LONG PLAYING DISK...........
41 THAT WAS A PUN.. COME ON PEOPLE I KNOW YOUR OUT THERE, I CAN HEAR YOUR
42 MODEMS WISTLING.)
43 I MIGHT ALSO NOTE AT THIS TIME THAT NO BACKUPS ARE MADE OF THE DATA STORED
44 ON THE BWMS SYSTEM (WHICH IS WHY IT DISAPPEARS IN LARGE SECTIONS AT TIMES
45 BUT ON THE SAME TOKEN IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO COMPLETELY DESTROY THE DATA
46 FROM THE USER STANDPOINT (IT IS RECOVERABLE WITH A LITTLE BIT OF WORK).
47 SO THERE IS NO REAL NEED TO DO SO. BESIDES ANYBODY THAT PUTS ANYTHING
48 OF ANY IMPORTANTS ON THIS SYSTEM IS PROBABLY STRANGER THAN THE REST OF THE
49 USERS!!!!
50 ANYWAY, THE DEFECTIVE DISK HAS BEEN RETIRED FROM SERVICE, AND A BRAND SPANKING
51 NEW ONE IS NOW IN ITS PLACE (MEANING IT PROBABLY WON'T LAST A WEEK!).
52 SO HAVE A GOOD TIME AND ENJOY YOUR FLIGHT (OF FANTASY). CIST OP MIKEY

60 I must really be crazy to be up at 2:30 am using a box to
61 pass the time away.
62 Anyway the above came from a newly brought up modem and it
63 seems to be working very well (PCS 103). My system is an
64 OSI C8P DF.
65 Does anyone have a 6502 program for modem transfer of data.
66 If so key the mesage with "%MODEM%" thank you.

88 system certainly have no fundamental importance to the teeming masses.

94 Have you seen those clever Mutha Bell ads in the oRAGonian? I called to
95 "LET'S TALK" at 800-555-5000. I wound up in a conversation with a SYT here
96 in Portland. She had a lot of answers that went "maybe it will be this way
97 and maybe it will be that way". I guess the deal is for LOL's that are
98 afraid they won't be able to afford phone service after the Justice Dept.
99 surgery. That was 3 days ago... Today a guy from some survey outfit called
100 to find out how I felt about my discussion and about the BS (Bell System) in
101 general. I really felt sorry for the guy. What a bunch of dumb questions
102 to have to read off to some unsuspecting clod half-way across the US.

290 TO: ANALOG ALAN FM: CISTOP MIKE RE: STUFF AND SUCH
291 As to the ringer equivalance number, it tell the phone people what kind
292 of a load the device presents to the line. This can be either an AC type
293 load or a DC type load, or both. the number following the letter is how
294 much of a load with the standard bell in a telephone being equal to a load
295 of '1'.
296 As to the CPM system number, you already have it if you are reading this
297 The CPM system sits in behind BWMS and is accesable with a special pass word.
298 Access to the system is restricted as it is very easy to bring it down destroy
299 things, ect. As a result if you wish to use it you must be able to prove that
300 you are responsable enough to not purposly do that sort of thing, as well as
301 haveing a need to use the system. This is usally done by interview or
302 recomendation from an exsisting user. There does have to be a real need,
303 and not just a desire, since the system is very touchy as stated befor.
304 I am not trying to say that you are amoung the nasty sort, I am just stating
305 the requirements to get on (just the facts, only the facts!) I have to be
306 very carefull, as I have enough problems keeping BWMS clean without haveing
307 to wory about the CPM system too. (One easy way to find out if you quaulify
308 is if you have a pass word to Lyle's system since he is more restrictive
309 then I am this automaticlly gives you validity to access to my system, and
310 in fact the password sequence is often provided thru his system if no other
311 means is available to provide it with.)
312 Any more questions? I will be more then happy to try to answer them.
313 ****************************************************************************
314 To: Dragon Lady Fm: Cistop Mike Re: Female types not on system.
315 I agree with you that there is a great deficiency of persons of the
316 feminine gender useing these facilities. (Or at least making themselves
317 known.) Indeed, I have often wondered why this is so, since it tends to
318 cause this and the other BBS's (which do not seem to be a whole lot better
319 off in this respect) to degenerate into the wholly masculine communicative
320 structures which can get rather monotonous at times. It is very refreshing
321 to observe the writings of another which does not have this structure and
322 provides a break from the often borishness of the usual talk on this system.
323 As such I beg of you to not forsake us and leave forever barren the
324 video screens and printers of the users of this system of your marvelous
325 and wonderously communicative printed word.
326 The handle of Dragon Lady while not wholly uncommon has been used by
327 more then one, as such I know of several. However, there is always the
328 possibility that I know of you if not directly, at least indirectly in one
329 way or another.
330 The question that comes to mind is NWSFS ?
331 Ah, that I would be so lucky to be graced with such virtuosity on this
332 lowly BackWater Message System. Even so it is with great pleasure and
333 enjoyment that I read your marvelous versification that is presented
334 in this backward vernacular system.
335 Forvala!

337 To: All users Fm: Cistop mike Re: Drive 'B'
338 It has been requsted that some stuff be removed from drive 'B' so
339 that other things can be placed there. This is a valid request, and
340 the purpose of this message is to ask those of you out there as to
341 what you would like to see done with drive 'B'. Would you like to see it
342 continue to be enter only? (This means that you can enter stuff into it,
343 but once there it cannot be changed or deleted.) or would you prefer it
344 to be fully open as is this one.) Which things on drive 'B' would you
345 like to see removed, and what would you prefer to remain. Leave your desires
346 in regard to this here, and on May 15 or 16 as a result of the answers I
347 will modify drive 'B' to fit your requests.

427 Dear Mike. Thanks for your comments about the ringer equivalence. I knew
428 about the ratio of load impedances, but never have seen anything that
429 explained the A and B suffix. For instance, at work we have some 212 modems
430 that are ringer equiv 0.8A unless there is a 2565 phone attached - then
431 it is 1.4A. Obviously the load is higher (more current) with the phone
432 hooked on, but why does the letter change?
433 I'm sure I don't have any pressing need to use your CP/M system, but
434 it's nice to know what people are talking about.

446 Yes it is necessary to notify the phone company if
447 you connect any foreign equipment to the phone
448 lines, such as a modem.
449 If you fail to notify them, and they find out about
450 it, they will send two burley servicemen to
451 castrate you without anesthesia. If you have any
452 male children, the same will be done to them.
453 Why they pick on the males is unknown at the
454 present.
455 It is much easier to simply inform them of the
456 extra equipment. Besides, do you want to go
457 around for the rest of your like with a voice
