|
||
47 I really can't fathom all of the current (and past) discussion over
|
||
48 allowing prayer in schools. For some reason, everyone is talking
|
||
49 about "Christian" prayers. Many other "heathen" religions also
|
||
50 utilize prayers. How would all of the IMMoral Majority types
|
||
51 feel if their precious offspring were forced to pray to Allah or
|
||
52 Buddha? Maybe then they would have a different attitude...

|
||
107 Just saw an article in Infoworld which seems interesting. Commodore
|
||
108 made a deal with Zilog to put Z8000 chips in some new low-end
|
||
109 computers. What's interesting is that a subsidiary of Commodore is
|
||
110 MOS Technology, designers of...... the 6502!!!!! According to the
|
||
111 article, the deal obviously squelched the idea of building a 16-bit
|
||
112 sequel to the 6502 called the 65000. You'd normally expect Commodore
|
||
113 to go with their subsidiary's designs if they were at all acceptable,
|
||
114 so their repudiation of this design series is very significant.
|
||
115 In other words, the 6502 sucks and Commodore knows it.
|
||
116 Also, they're not willing to take the chance that the 65000 might
|
||
117 flop and leave then in the cold, like the 9900 did to TI.
|
||
118 Someone once said on this system that the fact that the
|
||
119 6502 hasn't been updated means its better than Z80 et al. Phooey.
|
||
120 NO chip is so good that it can't stand some improvement. But it
|
||
121 seems only the better chips get improved, since it is a lot more
|
||
122 practical to abandon a very poor chip than to try to produce an
|
||
123 upward compatible improvement.
|
||
124 ((((((((((((((((()))))))))))))))
|
||
125 Since you say there aren't any upgraded versions of the 6502
|
||
126 what are the differences between a 6502, 6509 & a 6510? (And
|
||
127 how do they manage to address (NOT bank switch) more than 64k
|
||
128 with some of the above chips?)

138 AMIGO-MONDAY will only run on mondays

146 The 6502 has been upgraded - they just didn't

147 yell and beat their chest about it:

|
||
169 what type of modem is used on this system?
|
||
170 ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
|
||
171 I hear the question "do we need more power?" and some say "no, we get
|
||
172 along just fine as we are."
|
||
173 To answer this don't ask "what do we do with it?" Ask instead "What DON'T
|
||
174 we do with it?" There are a lot of things we don't do, because the current
|
||
175 toys just can't. Such as: real home data bases, user friendly, error
|
||
176 tolerant programming, inerchangeable graphics, voice, reading printed
|
||
177 text, etc. The current operating systems are small because we can't run
|
||
178 even UNIX on our home 'computers'. Small programs can not be very flexible.
|
||
179 Online dictionaries? A real dictionary has about 1/2 million words, averaging
|
||
180 6 or so letters each, so just for one use we need 3 megs, and even though I
|
||
181 have a SMALL one on my machine, it is just too sloww, because the machine
|
||
182 must go to disc for every word. Wordstar is small potatos compared to some
|
||
183 real word processors, but can't get much better, because no one has the
|
||
184 space for it. Voice entry exists, but it takes a pretty big machine for
|
||
185 even a few words, and the working vocabulary of an educated person isn't
|
||
186 a few words, it's several tens of thousands. To read printed text is easy,
|
||
187 and it isn't special hardware that stops us, it is the humungus variety
|
||
188 of letter shapes, and this merely means big arrays to compare against, and
|
||
189 lots of computer power. Last month's Byte had an article on user friendly
|
||
190 data entry, but it seems that the thing used about 100 or so k words
|
||
191 just for the data entry part, not the actual program.
|
||
192 The answer to more power in home computers isn't faster, I'm afraid;
|
||
193 it's going to be bigger. A 16 bit machine can do more in less time than
|
||
194 an 8 for at least 3 reasons: it handles more data at a time, it has a more
|
||
195 powerful instruction set, and it can really use more memory. The limit on
|
||
196 the second is the ability of the programmer to understand it, and the last
|
||
197 is just plain money, but things are getting cheaper. More powerful computer
|
||
198 allow simpler, sloppier programming, more powerful languages, more
|
||
199 complete i/o, online error checking, real operating systems, etc.
|
||
200 We ain't seen nothing yet, and we won't until we get MORE POWER.

|

256 The following are statements taken from actual letters received
|
||
257 by the Welfare Department in application for support.
|
||
258
|
||
259 I am forwarding my marriage certificate and six children. I had
|
||
260 seven, but one died which was baptized on a half sheet of paper.
|
||
261
|
||
262 I am writing the Welfare Department to say that my baby was born
|
||
263 two years old. When do I get my money?
|
||
264
|
||
265 Mrs. Jones has not had any clothes for a year and hasbeen visited
|
||
266 regularly by the clergy.
|
||
267
|
||
268 I cannot get sick pay. I have six children. Can you tell me why?
|
||
269
|
||
270 I am glad to report that my husband who is missing is dead.
|
||
271
|
||
272 This is my eighth child. What are yoe going to do about it?
|
||
273
|
||
274 Please find for certain if my husband is dead. The man I am
|
||
275 now living with can't eat or do anything until he knows.
|
||
276
|
||
277 I am very much annoyed to find you have branded my son
|
||
278 illiterate.. This is a dirty lie as I was married for
|
||
279 a week before he was born.
|
||
280
|
||
281 In answer to your letter, I have given birth to a
|
||
282 boy weighing ten pounds. I hope that this is satisfactory.
|
||
283
|
||
284 I am forwarding my marriage certificate and my three
|
||
285 children, one of which is a mistake as you can see.
|
||
286
|
||
287 Unless I get my husband's money pretty soon, I will
|
||
288 be forced to leading an immortal life.
|
||
289
|
||
290 You have changed my boy to a girl. Will this make
|
||
291 any difference?
|
||
292
|
||
293 In accordance with your instructions, I have given birth
|
||
294 to twins in the enclosed envelope.
|
||
295
|
||
296
|
||
297 I have no children as yet as my husbandi is a truck
|
||
298 driver and works days and nights.
|
||
299
|
||
300 I want money as quick as I can get it. I have been
|
||
301 in bed with the doctor
|
||
302 for two weeks, and he
|
||
303 doesn't do hme any cgood.
|
||
304 If things don't improve
|
||
305 I will have to send for
|
||
306 another doctor.
|
||
307
|
||
308 My husband ngot his project
|
||
309 cut off two weeks ago, and
|
||
310 I haven't had cnany relief since.

312 For a BBS try beating the price of an Atari

313 400. If your system is better than an

314 Atari, why don't you put up a BBS with
|
||
315 "good" programs on it -- 7 days a week, 24 hrs/day.
|
||
316 (or even 1 day a week).
|
||
317 As far as that goes, why don't you quit being
|
||
318 a jerk and just ignore the announcement since
|
||
319 you really wouldn't be interested in Atari
|
||
320 software (your cheap junk machine can't handle it).
|
||
321 The announcement was intended for other Atari people

322 and was not expected to be of great interest to

328 have something nice to say, keep your mouth shut. This
|

329 is directed to the lowlife who feels he/she has to put

330 down the efforts of other people. I feel that the more

331 bulliten board systems around, the better. Who cares if
|

332 it only runs on Monday, and WHO CARES if it on an Atari,
|
||
333 a Radio Shack, or an old RELAY computer... I think it
|
||
334 is pretty nice of people to put their systems up for
|
||
335 others to get onto and enjoy! So - why don't you
|

336 learn from the old expression - updated a little - IF

|

401 THIS TRIAD THAT HAS SHOWN ITSELF VIA THIS MOVE IS INDEED AS IT
|
||
402 HAS BEEN SO TASTLESSLY PUT TOTALLY AUSSUME OR SUMTHNG LIKE THAT.
|
||
403 THIS HAS JUST GOT TO BE THE WORST GARBAGE I HAVE EVER SEEN ON A
|
||
404 BBS LIKE GAG ME WITH A SPOON YA KNOW.. I MEAN TOTALLY........
|

405 *** LIKE IT'S CISTOP MIKEY YA KNOW *** 31 JAN 83 ****************

413
|

414 Well, now... It seems to work just as well as it usta ( I
|

415 never had a problem with the phone lines ) and neither number is long
|

422 ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
|
||
423 Why can't we have intelligent conversation on this system like we
|
||
424 once had? First trivia question: When did we ever have intelligent
|
||
425 conversation on this system? Will we ever have it? Why am I asking
|
||
426 these stupid questions? Which way is up? What is the meaning of
|
||
427 life?

|
||
430 ========================================
|
||
431 Somehow I always thought I was missing something when Backwater
|
||
432 BBS was a long-distance call. I was wrong. What is the
|
||
433 problem with the cerebral regressives who use this board?
|
||
434 Not funny. Not provocative. Not interesting. Not even
|
||
435 spelled correctly. Why don't you all hire someone to work
|
||
436 the keyboard for you?

450 QUESTION ????

|

452
|
||
453 WHY DID THE VAL GAL TAKE 2 (TWO )
|

454 BIRTH CONTROL PILLS ????????????

455

456 -CORRECT ANS. ON 2/10/83.

466 Because she wanted to be "for shoor, for shoor!!"

|

468
|
||
469 On a slightly more serious note:
|
||
470 I have just read Byte's review of the Apple IIe. The Apple
|
||
471 community has my sympathies. Why? Because now THEY're in for the
|
||
472 kind of trouble that the TRS-80 community had when the Model III
|
||
473 came out! "Undocumented ROM calls may have been changed..."
|
||
474 "Most hardware expansions will still be usable..."
|
||
475 (I must admit that Apple did a slighty better job on hardware
|
||
476 compatability)
|
||
477 "New, Enhanced version - but still compatible with..."
|
||
478 It all sounds SO familiar!
|
||
479 But don't worry, even if it isn't always as compatible as you
|
||
480 need (Murphy's Law as applied to improvements: The one accessory
|
||
481 you want the most is the one that isn't supported!) you're still
|
||
482 going to have a BETTER machine! It's gonna hurt at first, but I
|
||
483 think you'll like the end result.
|
||
484 (Note: I don't own or want an Apple, and don't really see
|
||
485 what you people see in them. But I think that in the long run
|
||
486 you'll agree with the above if you DO like Apples!)
