34 MIKE, I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAVE SOME SA400 DISK DRIVES FOR SALE OR HAVE A

35 HANDLE ON WHERE THEY CAN BE BOUGHT RELATIVELY CHEAP I.E. $10. WAS WHAT I
|

36 HEARD. I NORMALLY TALK TO THE APPLEPHILIA BBS. YOU CAN LEAVE ME A MSG

40 I have 5 SA400 drives left and they are indeed going for $10 each.
|

41 I also have some MPI drives in various states of disrepair.
|
|||
|
|
42 Some one with the knowledge and skills in disk drive repair
|
|||
|
|
43 could probably get a couple of them going from the parts. I'm offering
|
|||
|
|
44 the MPI drives for $10 for the box of them (includes 4 MPI drives and
|
|||
|
|
45 2 SA400 drives) As I said, these are *not* working, (the SA400's are
|
|||
|
|
46 only good for parts what there is left of them.) There are three
|
|||
|
|
47 logic cards with the MPI drives, one old style, two new style.

61 So there i was standing in a drove of dwarves during rush hour in
|
|||
|
|
62 downtown L.A. trying to flag a cab. Without success I headed up vine
|
|||
|
|
63 fighting tooth and nail knee deep in the short folk, there was rummored
|
|||
|
|
64 a pre dedwarven man lived there that might be able to make some sense
|
|||
|
|
65 of this fable but was told i had a snowballs chance in hell. The only
|
|||
|
|
66 color that i can use to discribe Dimlite's house is a Gray Poupon,
|
|||
|
|
67 fashonable for the era. He was a very tall man about 5'6" and the only
|
|||
|
|
68 hair i saw on him was on the very tip of his snout. It looked as though
|
|||
|
|
69 in actuality his personnel hygine had been dicarded let alone abandoned.
|
|||
|
|
70 he claimed to have been a sandwhich maker[journeymen] for years and
|
|||
|
|
71 we discussed the posibilites of Dimlite moving a few more feet away
|
|||
|
|
72 from me so i would'nt be so offended by his odor, he agreed.
|
|||
|
|
73 Dimlite offered a sandwhich to me, I declined, but was served anayway
|
|||
|
|
74 promptly throwing small pices of mystery meat under the table to the
|
|||
|
|
75 canine which he posessed. The canine's name was Cringe a name given
|
|||
|
|
76 because of the facial expressions shown while eating Dimlite's cooking.

227 HOW CLEVER!
|
|||
|
|
228
|
|||
|
|
229 Suddenly, the mysterious door began to glow!
|
|||
|
|
230
|
|||
|
|
231 O\=<([V2V])>=/O
|
|||
|
|
232 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
|
|||
|
|
233 The first sensation I felt as I came to consciousness was the cold. A wet,
|
|||
|
|
234 clinging cold that totally surrounded me, penetrating to the bone and
|
|||
|
|
235 causing them to ache.
|
|||
|
|
236 The second sensation I felt was... pressure. My lungs seemed filled with
|
|||
|
|
237 the air I had somehow gulped before landing into the river, but I knew that
|
|||
|
|
238 it wouldn't last much longer. I struggled to reach the surface of the
|
|||
|
|
239 river, where ripples played about the rocks and water plants several feet
|
|||
|
|
240 above me.
|
|||
|
|
241 I felt myself being held down by some force, intangible but very real,
|
|||
|
|
242 pressing me away from the life-giving air above. I heard a mental
|
|||
|
|
243 voice- #WHAT ARE YOU?#
|
|||
|
|
244 I tried to answer. #...I am Milchar, a human from Celene....please release
|
|||
|
|
245 me, I need the air above...#
|
|||
|
|
246 The Being responded instantly, but during that instant I felt myself get
|
|||
|
|
247 weaker and the pain in my lungs increased. #NOT RELEVANT. WHAT ARE YOU?#
|
|||
|
|
248 Concentration had grown exponentially harder. #...a magician, a worker
|
|||
|
|
249 of magic....#
|
|||
|
|
250 The voice became slightly more powerful, cutting through the rising barrier
|
|||
|
|
251 of pain my body built about my mind. #NOT RELEVANT. WHAT IS YOUR BEING?#
|
|||
|
|
252 Fighting for every last bit of energy I could muster, I tried to answer-
|
|||
|
|
253 #....uugh...release.....me........#
|
|||
|
|
254 The next few moments were unlike anything I had ever experienced before or
|
|||
|
|
255 since, and not something I can easily relate. Yet I shall try. My memories
|
|||
|
|
256 forced themselves upon me, parading past rapidly, forcing the truth of my
|
|||
|
|
257 past actions painfully into my mind, showing me THIS or THAT action which
|
|||
|
|
258 was selfish, THIS action was wrong, THAT one was ill-considered... I reviewed
|
|||
|
|
259 all of the minor evils I had committed during my life. The pain in my lungs
|
|||
|
|
260 dimmed compared to the pain this recollection stirred within me.
|
|||
|
|
261 Yet not all of the actions I reviewed then were the bad ones- I saw also
|
|||
|
|
262 the great joy I had somehow managed to produce in others from time to time,
|
|||
|
|
263 the generous deeds accomplished... but somehow, the good actions seemed
|
|||
|
|
264 fewer than the bad. Or else the bad stuck in my mind more firmly. It's
|
|||
|
|
265 impossible to tell- but I hoped, just then, that the good outweighed the
|
|||
|
|
266 evil I had done during my trek in this multiverse.
|
|||
|
|
267 Abruptly, I felt myself rising quickly but gently. I broke surface an
|
|||
|
|
268 instant later, gasping for air and fighting exhaustion. Exhaustion won.
|
|||
|
|
269 I awoke upon the near riverbank, betwixt a bed of flowers and a large
|
|||
|
|
270 patch of willows, upon a narrow, sandy area. I laid there for many minutes
|
|||
|
|
271 before I felt well enough to consider what had happened to me. I tried to
|
|||
|
|
272 puzzle it out for a bit, then, after more minutes, tried to sit up.
|
|||
|
|
273 I was dizzy, but nothing appeared broken. My injuries seemed limited to
|
|||
|
|
274 bruises, of which I had an abundance.
|
|||
|
|
275 My posessions for the most part had survived the ordeal, also. I saw
|
|||
|
|
276 quicly that my wand was gone; I would probably never see it again.
|
|||

|
277 Having determined that I could get about if need be, I rose. As I did, I
|
|||
|
|
278 saw something that startled me so much I very nearly fell down again.
|
|||
|
|
279 On my palm was inscribed a small silver pattern, almost like a tatto, which
|
|||
|
|
280 faded even as I saw it. Somehow I knew it remained, but knew not what it
|
|||
|
|
281 signified.
|
|||
|
|
282 I wasn't about to find out just standing there, though.
|
|||
|
|
283 So I walked. Rivers tend to be centers of civilization, at all levels:
|
|||
|
|
284 when primitive, cities enjoy the easy water transport; when advanced,
|
|||
|
|
285 the people enjoy the natural beauty associated with water bodies. So, in
|
|||
|
|
286 hope of finding a suitable place to rest before attempting further magic,
|
|||
|
|
287 I walked downstream.

313 ################################################################
|
|||
|
|
314 I woke up with the sun in my eyes. It was probably what caused
|
|||
|
|
315 me to wake up. I felt sore in all of my joints. I had been laying
|
|||
|
|
316 there for far too long, things were starting to stiffen up.
|
|||
|
|
317 Soon my eyes adjusted and I looked around me. I was sitting under
|
|||
|
|
318 a tree in a meadow. How I got here I'm not too sure. As I looked
|
|||
|
|
319 further I saw the outlines of what appeared to be the glowing
|
|||
|
|
320 outlines of a door off to one side. Hmmm, interesting. I thought
|
|||
|
|
321 about getting up, but my soreness and the warming sun inhibited
|
|||
|
|
322 me from making a quick decision. There was time enough for
|
|||
|
|
323 exploration I was sure. The presence in my mind was quiet, no
|
|||
|
|
324 word, no response. I wasn't even sure if he was even there for
|
|||
|
|
325 sure (assuming that you could even assign a sexual quality as he
|
|||
|
|
326 or she to such a being). Finally with some degree of effort I got
|
|||
|
|
327 up and stretched the worst of the kinks out of my bones. My first
|
|||
|
|
328 order of business was to take a look at the glowing lines of the
|
|||
|
|
329 assumed doorway. As I approached it the lines began to glow even
|
|||
|
|
330 more. It was almost as if they were bulging outward attempting to
|
|||
|
|
331 engulf me. To carry me off to yet another time and place. Another
|
|||
|
|
332 world where I did not know where I was. But I liked the flavor of
|
|||
|
|
333 this particular meadow as it currently was, so I backed away a
|
|||
|
|
334 bit, avoiding the clutching sucking feeling the door emitted. Off
|
|||
|
|
335 to the side was a little stream chuckling to itself and enjoying
|
|||
|
|
336 the warmth of the sunlight. Knealing down on its bank I took my
|
|||
|
|
337 fill the wonderfully sweet water that traveled in its course.
|
|||
|
|
338 This seamed like such a wonderfully peaceful land, so unlike the
|
|||
|
|
339 noisey rabble I had left behind. I didn't really want to leave.
|
|||
|
|
340 And yet deep within there was something missing, an empty space
|
|||
|
|
341 filled with a longing undescribable. The emptyness within me once
|
|||
|
|
342 its existance had been found swelled and expanded outside,
|
|||
|
|
343 filling the world, the once bright warm sun dimmed and gray
|
|||
|
|
344 clouds quickly filled the sky. Suddenly I felt cold and alone.
|
|||
|
|
345 The streaked gray clouds began to emit a cold wind swept drizzle
|
|||
|
|
346 that soon had me wet and shivering. The tree I had been sleeping
|
|||
|
|
347 under offered no protection, the leaves that had once offered
|
|||
|
|
348 cool shade against the warmth of the sun were now gone. The stark
|
|||
|
|
349 bare limbs reached menicingly towards the gray clouds as if to
|
|||
|
|
350 draw them closer and capture them in its grasp. A flash of
|
|||
|
|
351 lightening broke the gloom. I was alone in this world no friends
|
|||
|
|
352 to great, no one to talk to, no one to share the warm of a fire
|
|||
|
|
353 and ward off the chill of this place. The colour was gone, only
|
|||
|
|
354 varying shades of gray were visible now. The stark cold
|
|||
|
|
355 lonelyness began to sink in until it became an overwhelming
|
|||
|
|
356 thought driving out all others. I began to shake uncontrolled.
|
|||
|
|
357 Was it the cold, or was it the emotional distress I felt. I had
|
|||
|
|
358 to do something, I had to find a way out. The door! Quickly I got
|
|||
|
|
359 up out of the crouching position I had taken beneath the tree and
|
|||
|
|
360 looked across the now gloom filled clearing. There, through the
|
|||
|
|
361 mist I could see something glowing. Beckoning me towards it,
|
|||
|
|
362 Gathering my remaining emotional and physical strength I headed
|
|||
|
|
363 towards it. I only hoped that it would lead me out of this barren
|
|||
|
|
364 land to someplace more inviting. As I appraoched the glowing
|
|||
|
|
365 edges reached out through the mist drawing me closer inviting me
|
|||
|
|
366 into its grasp with what almost seemed like a self-rightous
|
|||
|
|
367 smugness. I paused for a moment in fear at the feelings I felt
|
|||
|
|
368 coming from it, but the cold and emptyness of this place gave me
|
|||
|
|
369 enough reason to continue on. Releasing all further doubt, I
|
|||
|
|
370 accepted what this new and unexpected twist would bring and
|
|||
|
|
371 stepped through. The darkness enclosed me in its arms, wrapping
|
|||
|
|
372 me in a blanket of warmth. My clothes were no longer wet, and my
|
|||
|
|
373 shivering subsided. Where I was I did not know, I didn't know if
|
|||
|
|
374 I was even anywhere. I felt like I was in limbo, stuck between
|
|||
|
|
375 one reality and another. I was no longer cold, but the empty
|
|||
|
|
376 feeling of lonelyness was still there. The warm enclosing arms of
|
|||
|
|
377 whereever I was could not dispell that feeling deep in my gut. I
|
|||
|
|
378 thrashed out, I screamed. No one came, no one heard. Was it only
|
|||
|
|
379 a second that I lay thus or was it a century? It seemd like it
|
|||
|
|
380 was forever. I felt a feeling feeling of concern and frustration
|
|||
|
|
381 surround me. An unseen force wanting to help but not knowing how.
|
|||
|
|
382 I thought back to times past, to a friend gone and yet always
|
|||
|
|
383 there. Slowly the emptyness subsided, and as the feeling went so
|
|||
|
|
384 did my thrashings and emotional outpourings. The darkness around
|
|||
|
|
385 me felt pleased. Some sort of balance had been achieved. Finally
|
|||
|
|
386 I drifted off into a fitful sleep in the dark confines of
|
|||
|
|
387 whereever I was.

415 THERE where no windows in the
|
|||
|
|
416 smallish classroom, Only 2 doors.
|
|||
|
|
417 one in the back and side. The room was
|
|||
|
|
418 empty. Nobody was there. No one
|
|||
|
|
419 was board. After all it WAS spring
|
|||
|
|
420 break. The room was quiet and peace-
|
|||
|
|
421 ful. No one liked it that way. It
|
|||
|
|
422 was easyer to think. Nobody sat in the
|
|||
|
|
423 room and thought. Toilets!! no one
|
|||
|
|
424 thought. (No one thinks about toilets)
|
|||
|
|
425 Big toilets the size of bathtubs 3
|
|||
|
|
426 feet offf the floor like the ones you
|
|||
|
|
427 find in handicap stalls!! ALittle
|
|||
|
|
428 toilets in the children's bathrooms
|
|||
|
|
429 so small you trip over them! Red
|
|||
|
|
430 toilets and black marble toilets and
|
|||
|
|
431
|
|||
|
|
432 toilets with fluffy seats! Nobody
|
|||
|
|
433 imagined a room with 50 tioilets on the
|
|||
|
|
434 walls and 50 fat men came in wearing
|
|||
|
|
435 plad pants and sit on them and they
|
|||
|
|
436 all crack and break off the walls and
|
|||
|
|
437 the room starts to fill up with water...
|
|||
|
|
438 Nobody could stop thinking about
|
|||
|
|
439 toilets. There better things to do
|
|||
|
|
440 like...dancing!! No one truned on the
|
|||
|
|
441 tape recorder. Bolero came drifting
|
|||
|
|
442 and crackling out of the machine. No
|
|||
|
|
443 one could dance to just any music and
|
|||
|
|
444 nobody was a borne dancer. No one
|
|||
|
|
445 jumped up and started dancing...on the
|
|||
|
|
446 wall. Cloging...tap...soft shoe.
|
|||
|
|
447 But suddenly on one was breaking!!
|
|||
|
|
448 Swipes! Backspin! Cenipeide and into
|
|||
|
|
449 a helicopter... But that got boring
|
|||
|
|
450 fast. Nobody truned off the music.
|
|||
|
|
451 LET'S PARTY!! no one yelled.
|
|||
|
|
452 Nobody came and NO ONE had a good time.
|
|||
|
|
453 It was great! There was on one off
|
|||
|
|
454 getting drunk in the corner. Nobody
|
|||
|
|
455 vomiting or making obnoxious fools of
|
|||
|
|
456 f themselves. There couldn't have abeen
|

480 [L.A. nightmare continued from ln 53 ] Wondering if I should report
|

|
|
481 Dimlite to the humane society, I stood up from the table letting go a
|
|||
|
|
482 harty belch which pleased Dimlite to no end, also giving Cringe enough
|

|
|
483 time to hide the sudo sandwich under the already swolen rug.

484 Dimlite was certenly not the person i needed to contact let alone dine

486 bucket the soul founder of Doink Cola located in east Hollywood.
|

487 Actually Cornel Fester Puzbucket was in need of a new strong adverti-

488 zing director, liason [go between] to kick Doink Cola into the post

489 neclear age without fear of a cola winter.
|

490 In the back of my mind I can remember some of Doink's early stuff.

491 EENY, MEENY, MINEY, MOE, serve em' Doink and watch em' go. Round

530 keepers of the archives, and we would all like to make some more memories.
|
|||
|
|
531 Guardian: Another long lost soul, returning, if even for a brief moment, to
|
|||
|
|
532 the fold. Months have passed since you last graced this place. I remember
|
|||
|
|
533 so well the stories we told around the Inn's warm and crackling fire. The
|
|||
|
|
534 tales we spun, some true, others wishing they were. If our pasts guide our
|
|||
|
|
535 futures, then our store will never be bare. Friend, adventurer, Inngoer of
|
|||
|
|
536 reknown, welcome home.
|
|||
|
|
537 Emu: The countdown is now done. Finished last Thursday at 4:30pm. It is
|
|||
|
|
538 strange how we journey long to reach a single point. At the start of our
|
|||
|
|
539 journey, the point is barely visible. It is more of an idea than an actual
|
|||
|
|
540 state of physical being. We move on, and with time and trouble, the point
|
|||
|
|
541 gains definition. We begin to see outlines, then details. We know, looking
|
|||
|
|
542 back midway through our travel, that the point is obtainable, is tangible,
|
|||
|
|
543 and more than some lofty idea or unobtainable goal. It is real, and it can
|
|||
|
|
544 be ours. We move onward, and as the time of reaching becomes close, the
|
|||
|
|
545 journey drags. It feels like the beginning, so many years ago. Suddenly,
|
|||
|
|
546 and without any warning, time flies in the winds of change, and the point
|
|||
|
|
547 charges towards us. The countdowns, the last minute preparations. The
|
|||
|
|
548 memory of what went before. The wonder of what will come after. The point
|
|||
|
|
549 is so close, so large, and then.... It is upon us. We are one with that
|
|||
|
|
550 point, the point is no longer a separate entity. The walk down the aisle.
|
|||
|
|
551 The speeches. The awards. The handshake. The applause. The accolades of
|
|||
|
|
552 fellows and friends. All make the journey worth it. They make the journey,
|
|||
|
|
553 and the memory of it, part of the prize.
|
|||
|
|
554
|
|||

555 Congratulations Emu, Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science.
