I was leafing through the june issue of Computer Entertainment (It was
|
|||
|
|
Electronic Games until May) when I noticed an article about the nation's
|
|||
|
|
bulletin boards called "Ascii and you shall Recieve". The title was stupid, but
|
|||
|
|
I thought "What the hell? Can't hurt." It did. It was boring, and there was so
|
|||
|
|
much that I thought about saying to the Author, Roger Rapoport, that I was
|
|||
|
|
ready to explode. So I have done the next best thing. I am going to retype the
|
|||
|
|
entire article here. But with one small addition.... My personal comments about
|
|||
|
|
each sentence or group of sentences will follow it or them in squiggly quotes.
|
|||
|
|
(Also known as {}.) This is because he uses the regular Parenthesis and I don't
|
|||
|
|
want to screw it up. So, here it goes.........

Ascii and you shall Recieve

================================

If you've got a computer Modem, {And I know you do,} you probably know that
|
|||
|
|
you can do all sorts of exciting things: Send electronic mail (too bad if your
|
|||
|
|
granmother doesn't have a computer) {Very funny, asshole.}, get the latest
|
|||
|
|
stock market quotes {Everybody talks about that. Nobody does it.}, buy airline
|
|||
|
|
tickets, pay bills. Not very exciting, I know. Then how about tapping {Tapping?
|
|||
|
|
really now.} into the less corporate, "Underground" {Underground? Nice thing to
|
|||
|
|
say about a BBS.} computer bulletin boards that are proliferating around the
|
|||
|
|
country? Through the miracle {Say "Hard work", Roger.} of digital
|
|||
|
|
communication, that very same computer and modem can tell you who killed more
|
|||
|
|
indians than the Lone Ranger {Do you Care?}, why Diskotech and San Leandro High
|
|||
|
|
School in California is believed to be having an Affair with Mr. C-brain
|
|||
|
|
{Again, Who cares?}, and that a nanosecond is the amount of time it takes an
|
|||
|
|
English governess to realize the kids are up to something. {Huh?}
