I thought I once heard something about data being broadcast on those
|
||
|
|
SCA thingies (Sub Carier Authority) - like how Muzak gets broadcast?
|
||
|
|
Anyone have any details?
|

P.S. CBBS co-founder Randy Suess just got a satellite hookup for
|
||
|
|
the news feed for his Unix system!

C'mon, folks, good old historical CBBS is back up - but we need some
|
||
|
|
message traffic to keep things going. What's pulling your chain these
|
||
|
|
days - palmtops? Deskjet 550C (The new one with simultaneous mounting
|
||
|
|
of the black & the C/Y/M cartridge, vs the 500C which "made up black"
|
||
|
|
by mixing C/Y/M). How about laptops? What do people have/do? I'm happy
|
||
|
|
with my Toshiba T1000XE - old technology - only a 10MHz 80C86, but it
|
||
|
|
does find with Kedit, Grandview, Quattro Pro, FoxBase, etc.
|
||
|
|
Anyone else interested in those 20M floptical disks? They're magnetic,
|
||
|
|
but use an optical servo for precise positioning. I think you can get
|
||
|
|
a drive for as little as $299, but the media is about $1/M ($20 ea). Tape
|
||
|
|
is obviously much cheaper, BUT it is of course not quickly random access!

Thanks for the kind words on CBBS being back up again. What are you
|
||
|
|
up to these days, computer hobby wise? What new modem 'ya checkin out?
|
||
|
|
(I see it was 1200 baud.).
|
||
|
|
In case anyone didn't realize, CBBS is running a gift (from USR) HST,
|
||
|
|
which COULD have been a dual standard, except for their screwey policy
|
||
|
|
of not allowing credit cards or credit- when it was in for minor service,
|
||
|
|
they required a MONEY ORDER or CASHIER'S CHECK to have it upgraded to
|
||
|
|
the dual standard! So I said "screw it, just fix it and send it back".

I'm interested in installing a CD ROM. I'd appreciate some input on
|
||
|
|
manufacturers, performance, and standards. Since my knowledge is very
|
||
|
|
primitive all comments are useful.

Guests on Chinet may *read* news only on weekends but not send
|
||
|
|
at any time. For complete information do "news -a" after logging
|
||
|
|
in on Chinet's guest lines, 312-283-0559. All the information is
|
||
|
|
on Chinet which now gets its feed via satellite and a little dish
|
||
|
|
on the roof.

to ALL re: LIMITING SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS
|

This month's Scientific America carries an article about limiting
|
||
|
|
software applications in some situations because of the
|
||
|
|
possiblity of bugs. The mathematical proof of the impossible
|
||
|
|
situation of eliminating all bugs other than by trial and
|
||
|
|
error was proved earlier this century by Godel. I hope this is
|
||
|
|
of interest to some.
