|
||
96 TO THE USER THAT HAD A QUESTION IN REGARD TO MOD III DISK DRIVES...
|
||
97
|
||
98 I DON'T OWN ANY MYSELF (I DON'T HAVE A TRS-80), BUT I USE THEM EVERY WEEKDAY.
|
||
99 THEy ARE REASONABLY DEPENDABLE, TRSDOS IS A POWERFUL O.S. AND THEY HAVE A GREAT
|
||
100 (BUT NOT TOO UNUSUAL) AMOUNT OF HIGH SPEED STORAGE, ABOUT 170-180K FORMATTED
|
||
101 STORAGE. MY ONLY COMPLAINT IS THAT THE DOS GIVES YOU ERROR NUMBERS INSTEAD OF
|
||
102 MESSAGES, BUT BY TYPING ERROR ## (wHERE ## IS THE ERROR NUMBER THAT wAS RECIEvED
|
||
103 ) THE COMPUTER WILL PRINT THE ERROR MESSAGE AFTER READING A FILE TO FIND IT OUT
|
||
104
|
||
105 THE DISK IS STANDARD FORMAT (256 BYTES PER SECTOR, 5 SECTORS PER GRANULE), BUT
|
||
106 IS NOT COMPATABLE WITH THE MOD I IN ANY WAY, HOWEVER A PROGRAM CALLED CONVERT
|
||
107 WILL CONVERT PROGRAMS ON A MOD I DISK TOMOD III FORMAT (BY LOADING THEM OFF OF
|
||
108 * * COPY DISK ERROR * *
|
||
109 THE MOD I DISK AND TRANSFERING IT TO THE MOD III DISK. THIS REQ. 2 DISK DRIVES.
|
||
110
|
||
111 ANYWAY, FOR THE INITIAL COST, A DISK DRIVE FOR THE MOD III IS WELL WORTH THE
|
||
112 INVESTMENT... THAT GOES FOR ANY COMPUTER...
|
||
113
|
||
114 ONE PROBLEM THAT I SHOULD MENTION,
|
||
115 IS THAT THE MOD III PASSWORD PROTECTION SYSTEM IS VERY DIFICULT TO GET AROUND.
|
||
116 IN FACT, IF YOU PROTECT A PROGRAM WITH A PASSWORD, AND THEN FORGET THE PASSwORD,
|
||
117 THEN YOU ARE PRETTY MUCH OUT OF LUCK. IT IS POSSIBLE TO KILL THE PROGRAM WITH
|
||
118 THE DISK MASTER PASSORD (IF YOU KNOW IT), BUT THAT DOESN'T HELP MUCH.
|
||
119
|
||
120 THE DISK IS FORMATTED AS DOUBLE DENSITY, SINGLE SIDED, 40 TRACKS.

|

234 About that Certification....
|
||
235 The 3M rep has admitted to me that the diskettes are certified "statisticaly"
|
||
236 You don't have a problem except when a BATCH of media has been down graded.
|
||
237 This is why one whole box can have problems, different job lots. The "cer-
|
||
238 tification" is actually a warranty, if it don't work as advertised, it will
|
||
239 be replaced.
|
||
240 On that vein, I was told by a customer that he had bought 3M diskettes from
|
||
241 the Sears Business Center for $45.00 [on sale!] and one of them would not
|
||
242 format. On return he was told by the clerk "tough". So much for reputable

338 I've got it on a spare disk (TRSDOS only- no BASIC etc) that I

339 stick in drive 0 when I need to get around a password. This will

347 AS WE MOVE AHEAD IN THIS ADMINISTRATION WE ARE PRESENTLY LIVING UNDER

348 ,IT BECOMES OBVIOUS THAT IT IS PRO-BUSINESS AND VERY ANTI UNION AS
|

349 THEY TIGHTEN THE CHOKE HOLD ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE-CREATING A SYSTEM
|

350 OF HAVES AND HAVENOTS-PITTING THEM AGAINST EACH OTHER.KETCUP AS A

351 VEGTABLE SOUNDS GOOD ON PAPER BUT NOT VERY WILL IN PRACTICE.AS THE
|

352 PROBLEMS MOUNT HERE AT HOME ,IT SEEMS WE KEEP SENDING THE RESOURCES
|
||
353 THAT COULD HELP THE PROBLEM HERE TO OTHER COUNTRIES-IT IS "AID" AS
|
||
354 THEY CALL IT OR JUST MORE AGITATION IN THE GOVT. SYSTEMS OF OTHER
|
||
355 COUNTRIES-BECAUSE I PERSONALLY DON'T SEE THE PEOPLE WE ARE SUPPOSE
|

356 TO BE HELPING BENIFIT FROM THIS AID BUT JUST A INCREASE IN THE
|

357 AGGRESSION AGAINST THE COMMON PERSON BY MILITARY POWER STRUCTURES.
|

360 AMERICA IS FOR SALE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!BUY NOW WHILE THE PRICE IS RIGHT
|

361 THE TIME TO PARTICIPATE IS NOW BY BEING ACTIVE IN VOTING AND TELL-

362 THE PEOPLE WE HAVE VOTED INTO DIFFERENT OFFICES WHAT "WE" WANT DONE
|

363 THERE IS POWER IN NUMBERS-IF WE DON'T-IN THE END WE WILL BE THE

364 LOSERS BY NON-PARTICIPATION. THE CONSTITUTION STATES THAT-"WE THE

365 PEOPLE ARE THE GOVERNMENT". LET'S CANCEL OUT APATHY AND START CHANGE
|

366 NOW.THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH LARGE OR SMALL COMPANIES MAKING
|

367 BIG PROFITS BUT WHEN THE GOING GETS ROUGH OR SOME COUNTRY DECIDES
|
||
368 TO NATIONALIZE THEIR COMPANIES-LET THEM NOT START EXPORTING JOBS
|

369 AND ASKING FOR SUBSIDIES AND HAVING OUR MILITARY GET INVOLVED BUT
|

370 START TAKING CARE OF THERE WORKERS AND CONSUMERS AT HOME. A STRONG

380 Sadly, there seems to be little showing me why a policy of anti-union

381 practices is not justified. Unions have had their time and place, but

382 I feel the time is past and the place is lost. I'm not for all out
|
||
383 exploitation of the worker (blue- or white-collar) on the part of the

385 very people they elected or hired to watch out for their interests.

|

391 Ditto. If you know what the Robinson-Patman Act is (government jobs
|
||
392 must pay the 'prevailing' (ie, UNION) wage rate), you'll understand why
|
||
393 the government needs to be less pro-union. By the way, unions are
|
||
394 specifically exempted from the Sherman anti-trust act. Why? The
|
||
395 Sherman anti-trust act prohits 'restraint of trade.' I.E., no
|
||
396 monopolies. However, a union is the most obvious monopoly there is.
|
||
397 That act was intended by unions to be a weapon against business, but
|
||
398 they soon found out they were even more obvious violators. So Congress
|
||
399 had to jump in and specifically exempt unions. Anti-union? C'mon now,
|
||
400 I WISH congress was anti-union.
|
||
401 If you want to complain about something, complain about taxes.
|
||
402 The Constitution prohibits 'involuntary servitude' (slavery) yet
|
||
403 taxes are clearly intended to be involuntary, and represent a portion
|
||
404 of one's efforts and wealth.
|
||
405 Challenge to all: Give me a definition of the word 'THEFT'
|
||
406 that does not also include taxation. Example definition: Theft is
|
||
407 the involuntary removal of property from some person or organization
|
||
408 . Clearly, this definition includes taxation. Can you find one that
|
||
409 doesn't? Probably not.
|
||
410 Don't assume that government should be able to do things no
|
||
411 individual can do. Just because it's government does not make its
|
||
412 actions legal.
|
||
413
|
||
414 ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
|
||
415 I wish the real world wa as simple as the last few messages imply. There
|
||
416 is a lot to be said against militarism, but without an army we would be
|
||
417 overrun immediately. Taxation is not theft, as that is "illegally taking,
|
||
418 and by definition taxes are legal. There is more to it than that, of
|
||
419 course, but lets not worry too much about defining theft, only about
|
||
420 preventing it. (We all know what it is.) As to taxes, we all hate them,
|
||
421 but can't live without them. The government of the US may not be perfect,
|
||
422 or even quite what we want, but try some of the others: do you really
|
||
423 want to live in Siberia? As to stampimg out apathy, so you really want
|
||
424 to? Remember, the nonvote makes yours more powerful. And be glad they
|
||
425 aren't voting, because those who aren't would vote for more subsidies
|
||
426 (for themselves), and that means more taxes.

|
||
496 ...............................................3/15/83......................
|
||
497 ========================
|
||
498 Contrary to the above statement, taxes are not necessarily legal.
|
||
499 Obviously, it is possible for governments to do illegal things:
|
||
500 most obvious example, Watergate, segregation (Dred Scot decision),
|
||
501 internment of Japanese in WW2, theft of Indian lands. Our
|
||
502 Constitution prohibits taking property from a person without a hearing,
|
||
503 yet we are told we must pay taxes with no such hearing.
|
||
504 I repeat: Do NOT assume that because the government does it,
|
||
505 it's legal. Second, taxation is a form of somewhat diluted slavery, as
|
||
506 is the draft. Normally, when a citizen is a victim of a robbery, the
|
||
507 government will aid in bringing the crook to justice. However, when
|
||
508 it's government doing the stealing, not only can you not get justice,
|
||
509 but if you attempt to resist this theft, they can and will put you
|
||
510 in jail, etc.
|
||
511 No, we (the taxpayers) don't need taxes. The only ones
|
||
512 that need taxes are the leeches in our society who expect to live
|
||
513 at the expense of others. The system is quite predictable: If you
|
||
514 give people votes on the basis of 1 vote/person, you can expect that
|
||
515 people will tend to vote to steal money from the well-off minority.
|
||
516 This is human nature, as far as I can tell.
|
||
517 If one person steals from you, that's robbery. If a hundred
|
||
518 do it, that's a riot. If a million do it, that's taxes.
|
||
519 My challenge still is open: Make a general definition of 'theft'
|
||
520 that does NOT also include taxation. So far it appears no one has done
|
||
521 so, which is not surprising. Remember, governments can steal just as
|
||
522 effectively as individual, even more so in many circumstances. The
|
||
523 only fundamental difference is that governments are often never
|
||
524 punished for that theft.
|
||
525 ==========================================================
|
||
526 Since you have chosen to call taxes "theft" you will not accept the truth,
|
||
527 so I will not try to dissuade you. The rest of you reading this, please
|
||
528 ignore the preceeding. Taxes are how we pay for things we want to use
|
||
529 by all (or most of ) the people, like protection (army, etc.), public
|
||
530 roads, crime protection (police and courts), and what are called
|
||
531 "social programs" (such as unemployement compensation and poverty programs,
|
||
532 as well as a lot of others we don't hear as much about). If you want
|
||
533 crime prevention it is necessary to pay for it, and fire departments
|
||
534 don't come cheap.
|
||
535 Those who have not lived long enough to have experienced being without
|
||
536 money usually don'
|
||
537 t like what they call "dole" or "give-away", but those who have needed
|
||
538 them are often more reasonable. In any case it is important for crime
|
||
539 prevention to reducer poverty.
|
||
540 Not all that those in the government are doing legal things, but
|
||
541 this can not be called actions of the government. Nixon was a criminal,
|
||
542 not the US government. Don't confuse the two. "They" is a convenient
|
||
543 enemy, but when it includes both bad and good it is not correct.
|
||
544 In other words: GROW UP!

549 HI MIKE, JUST THIS NOTE TO LET YOU KNOW I GOT AMODEM RUNNING FINE
|
||
550 BETWEEN MY CCS AND KAYPRO AT 9600 BAUD. GREAT!! MY PROBLEM WAS
|
||
551 THAT I PUT A BAUD RATE INIT IN THE "SETMOD" ROUTINE (TO 19200
|
||
552 WISHFULLY) AND DIDN'T THINK YOU WERE CALLING SETMOD ANYWHERE BUT
|
||
553 ONCE INITIALLY IN AMODEM. I FIXED THINGS BY PUTTING A "FIRSTTIME"
|

554 FLAG IN SETMOD. ONCE I GOT THE COMPUTERS TALKING TO EACH OTHER AT
|

555 THE SAME BAUD...19200 BAUD DON'T GO--YOU WERE RIGHT. I'M CURIOUS

|
||
557 =============================16MAR83 -- A.TRENT===================
|
||
558 TO B.A.D AND OTHER ON GOVERNMENT...
|
||
559 GOVERNMENT IS A COERCIVE JURISDICTIONAL MONOPOLY. THIS IS A VIEW
|
||
560 POPULAR AMONG LIBERTARIANS. I THINK IT IS A VERY GOOD DEFINITION.
|
||
561 THERE IS A VAST VOLUME OF LITERATURE SHOWING THAT THE SERVICES
|
||
562 WE CURRENTLY ATTRIBUTE TO GOVERNMENT CAN AND SHOULD BE PROVIDED
|
||
563 BY A FREE MARKET. AS FAR AS TAXATION IS CONCERNED IT RELYS ON A
|
||
564 PROCESS OF INITIATION OF FORCE BY THE GOVERNMENT. THAT MAKES
|
||
565 TAXATION INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM THEFT. IN MY OPINION, GOVERNMENT
|
||
566 IS THE WORST HOAX THAT HAS EVER BEEN PERPETRATED ON AND BY
|
||
567 MANKIND. THROUGHOUT HISTORY GOVERNMENTS HAVE CAUSED UNTOLD MISERY
|
||
568 AND OCEANS OF BLOOD. ALL BECAUSE PEOPLE WERE (AND ARE) TO
|
||
569 IGNORANT TO ACHIEVE GOALS THROUGH PRODUCTIVE MEANS RATHER THAN
|
||
570 THRU THE INITIATION OF FORCE. THE "GROW UP" ARGUMENT IS THE
|
||
571 FIRST RESORT OF THOSE WHO SEEK TO DIRECT ATTENTION AWAY FROM
|
||
572 THEIR OWN NAIVETE BY ACCUSING OTHERS OF THEIR OWN FAILING.
|
||
573 FOR THOSE INTERESTED IN STUDYING WHETHER GOVERNMENT IS NECESSARY
|
||
574 AT ALL I SUGGEST THEY CONTACT THE LOCAL LIBERTARIAN PART AT
|
||
575 281-xxxx -- AT LEAST THAT USED TO BE THEIR NUMBER. ALSO A VERY
|
||
576 GOOD BOOK (AVAILABLE THROUGH MOST LIBERTARIAN PARTY HEADQUARTERS)
|
||
577 IS: "SOCIETY WITHOUT GOVERNMENT" BY TANNEHILL AND WOLLSTEIN.

|
||
606 Although I normally don't get into this sort of argument, (it is the surest
|
||
607 way of getting people mad at you!) I would like to point out that while many
|
||
608 services can indeed be handled by the government, that does not mean that it
|
||
609 is nesecarily the best way. Take social security many think of this as a god
|
||
610 send. To the less financial responsible yes it is, but to those who bust thier
|
||
611 rears in life it is near worthless. So I have to pay for someone to leach off
|
||
612 of me because they were too irresponsible in thier early years to consider
|
||
613 what they were going to live on when they retire. In the case of fire
|
||
614 departments, I might point out that most rural fire departments are run
|
||
615 on a volunter basis with little or no tax support. The same with ambulance
|
||
616 and rescue services, and in some cases police. How do they handle this?
|
||
617 Well, in some cases the little support that is needed is indeed payed for
|
||
618 thru taxes, but this is only agreed on by the community at large not forced
|
||
619 down their throats by some burocrat who has never even seen the place let
|
||
620 alone be aware of their needs. Another way is for the individual to pay for
|
||
621 the service just like you would any other service contract. The cost? about
|
||
622 $5.00 a month for fire service, and comperable amounts for the others. What
|
||
623 if you don't pay? well you can still get the service you will just be charged
|
||
624 for the call, just like any other service. Many would say at first that this
|
||
625 could never work, but it can and in fact is in many communities. An intersting
|
||
626 side effect is it seems to bring the communities closer together. So what
|
||
|
||
|
