8 and operated system which is currently open for use by the general public.
|
|
9 No restrictions are placed on the use of the system.
|
|
10 It is intended that the system be normally used for messages and
|
|
11 advertisments by the users. As the system is privatly owned, I retain the
|

12 right to remove any and all messages which I may find offensive

|
13 to me. Additionally because of the limited size of the system, it will be
|
|
14 periodically purged of older messages. (only 629 lines of data can be saved)
|

15 The saved information will be cycled to drive 'B' while the information on
|

27 You are using the WRONG character to erase mistakes! This system only recognizes
|
|
28 CTRL-H (08h) (ASCII backspace) and DEL (7Fh). You are using a tilde (7Eh) this is a
|
|
29 printable character on most terminals. I assume that you are using an ATARI as
|
|
30 every time I see someone do this, they have said that they were using one.

34
|
|
35 LEONARD IS RIGHT, I SUSPECT AN ATARI. I USE AN ATARI, AND THE TILDE
|
|
36 DOES INDEED CAUSE A BACKSPACE WHEN USING EITHER JONESTERM OR AMODEM (BOTH
|
|
37 PUBLIC DOMAIN PROGRAMS, DEDICATED TO THE PURPOSE OF UPLOAD/DOWNLOAD). AS
|
|
38 TILDE'S GENERATE A BACKSPACE WHEN RECEIVED USING ONE OF THESE PROGRAMS, THE
|
|
39 USER MAY THINK THAT EVERYONE ELSE IS SEEING THE SAME THING, WHEN ACTUALLY
|
|
40 THEY ARE RECEIVING GARBAGE. SO IF YOU GENTLEMEN WERE TRYING TO BACKSPACE
|
|
41 CORRECT AN ERROR DURING ENTRY, USE THE "DELETE/BACK S" KEY OR CONTROL H.
|
|
42 BOTH WILL WORK. IF YOU ARE TRYING FOR SOMETHING FANCY (WRITING A MESSAGE
|
|
43 AND THEN ERASING IT), THE TILDE CHARACTER ONLY CAUSES IT ON YOUR MACHINES,
|
|
44 AND ONLY FOR THOSE USING THE ABOVE MENTIONED TERMINAL PROGRAMS. SO YOUR
|
|
45 WORK IS LOST ON EVERYONE ELSE. IF YOU WANT A *GOOD* TERMINAL, YOU MIGHT
|
|
46 TRY EITHER THE "CHAMELEON CRT TERMINAL EMULATOR" FROM ATARI PROGRAM EX-
|
|
47 CHANGE (WHICH ALLOWS EMULATION OF ADM-3A AND VT-52 TERMINALS) OR ONE OF THE
|
|
48 FINE (AND EXPENSIVE) COMMERCIAL PROGRAMS (T.H.E. TERMINAL FROM BINARY SOFT-
|
|
49 WARE OR TELE-TALK FROM DATASOFT INC.). THE PUBLIC DOMAIN PROGRAMS ARE FINE
|
|
50 FOR UPLOAD/DOWNLOAD OF ATARI PROGRAMS, BUT LEAVE A GREAT DEAL TO BE DESIRED
|
|
51 FOR COMMUNICATION WITH THE REST OF THE COMPUTER WORLD.

|
|
183 After watching the news tonight, I have some thoughts for the Christmas
|
|
184 season, especially concerning charity. Seeing the homeless, the
|
|
185 starving, the unemployed, families without heat, light, food, or
|
|
186 anything else that those of us who are more fortunate take for
|
|
187 granted, makes me wonder if there is something generally missing in
|
|
188 what we we know as the Christmas spirit.
|
|
189
|
|
190 I speak of the emphasis on commercialism, on self, of the glitter and
|
|
191 glamour that the media would have us believe is the Christmas spirit.
|
|
192 I recall also, and most importantly, the many beautiful people who
|
|
193 are giving of their time, money, and possesions to those who are
|
|
194 in need of help this cold winter. This year, instead of giving alot
|
|
195 of things to your love ones, include a few things, like food or money
|
|
196 for heat or rent, to an agency or facility that takes care of the
|
|
197 needy. Or better yet, find a familly or person who needs some help
|
|
198 help them.
|
|
199
|
|
200 I know this sounds like the same old story you hear from the
|
|
201 Salvation Army and from the large charitable organizations, but it is
|
|
202 about time that some of us, myself included, realize that there are
|
|
203 others in the world who are less fortunate than ourselves right here
|
|
204 in our own backyard, that for whatever reasons, need our support as
|
|
205 members of the human family and our society in particular. You can't
|
|
206 save the whole world, but helping a small part can sure be rewarding.
|
|
207
|
|
208 This message should sit well with any political or religeous
|
|
209 persuasion. Human decency and misery know no bounds or
|
|
210 classifications. For those of you who have doubts about God, in
|
|
211 whatever form, this is what it's all about: caring for your fellow
|
|
212 beings on this planet we call home. You want paradise? By such
|
|
213 deeds will you come to know it.
|
|
214
|
|
215 Merry Christmas!!!

309 PAM...In regards to my bits of dropped, it is simply a name I use
|
|
310 to associate myself with the other fine patrons of the Inn. I use it so
|
|
311 others will know something about my chosen profession. When I communicate
|
|
312 with BWMS, and the other BBS's with my real name, I can mask out the
|
|
313 dropped bit(which by the way is the most significant bit) so my
|
|
314 communications are not garbled, and contain some semblence if sense.
|
|
315 My masks off to you for your many thought provoking messages at this
|
|
316 Inn. Like I said before, I have saved several of the gems I have found
|
|
317 here, and your name appears at the end of more than one of them. Hrothgar
|
|
318 and Leonard and Mikey also share their signiture on several of my archived
|
|
319 visits here.
|
|
320 Yes indeed a new subject is needed. Would people care to comment on
|
|
321 the present state of the economy. What are the patrons opinions on
|
|
322 inflation rates, interest rates, and the enormous national debt. Does
|
|
323 anyone out there dabble in the stock market? What about mutual funds and
|
|
324 no-load stock options? I am very interested in discussing money matters,
|
|
325 and how they relate to the present condition of the country. I will not
|
|
326 however bore people with such messages if the general concensus is NO
|
|
327 ECONOMY MESSAGES. And don't think of me as some greedy, material-loving,
|
|
328 don't-care-about-people stereotype. I simply want to try and plant the
|
|
329 seed for a new and fruitful subject. Does anyone care to join in? After
|
|
330 the party I know of several who at least had some opinions on the subject.

|

359 AS FOR THE COMPRESS, YES, THE COMPRESS WAS WHAT DID IT, BUT THE COMPRESS
|
|
360 DOES NOT REMOVED BLANK (CR ONLY) LINES, IT ONLY REMOVES DELETED LINES.
|
|
361 THUS IF THERE WERE ANY DELETED LINES IN THE TEXT IT MOVES ALL THE LINES
|
|
362 UP FOR EACH LINE THAT WAS DELETED.
|
|
363 I NORMALLY DON'T RUN THE COMPRESS, BUT I DO EDIT THE DISK TO GET RID OF
|
|
364 GARBAGE BEFORE ARCHIVING IT (SUCH AS ^L), AND USED THE COMPRESS JUST
|
|
365 TO SEE HOW MUCH WAS DELETED. OH WELL, YOU DIDN'T MISS ANYTHING SINCE
|
|
366 I ARCHIVED IT BEFORE ANYONE ELSE PUT ANYTHING ON IT.

391 Hello:
|
|
392
|
|
393 I was wondering if there are any other gay users out there? A party
|
|
394 would be nice. Of course it would be open to all BWMS users.

399 Hi! I am an Apple user interested
|

400 in contacting anyone else who gets
|
|
401 into PIRATING. If you qualify,
|
|
402 leave me a message. My name is

403 Chris Johnson. (I only like to
|
|
404 trade programs, not copy and
|

405 sell them.)

408 The Inn is awash with the young these last few days, their prattle
|
|
409 and chatter reminiscent of a flock of itty-bitty birds that sweeps down
|
|
410 from nowhere to invade the neighboring trees. One is always taken by
|
|
411 surprise by these noisy feathered creatures--maybe even annoyed--yet
|
|
412 one could take a lesson from their freshness of energy! Enjoy their
|
|
413 strident collective voice(s)--for remember: the stay is only temporary.
|
|
414 Indeed I am a quiet presence here, Pam; realizing how much can be
|
|
415 learned from listening, I've chosen a dim corner of the Inn to sip my
|
|
416 spiced cider and be patient. Your kindly invitation warms my heart,
|
|
417 though, and I can never resist responding to a sincere request for what
|
|
418 I would love dearly to give! A gracious thanks for your compliments,
|
|
419 but tell me: I thought my ready laughter was unheard by the patrons
|
|
420 of the Inn, so where did you gain insight on my sense of humour, Pam?
|
|
421 [Innkeeper, I am relieved that you've received at least one of my
|
|
422 cries for forgiveness! Finally my conscience can rest easy!]

428 Your thoughts and opinions voiced over this year have provided many

|
|
435 WELL NOW!
|
|
436
|
|
437 THIS IS THE SECOND MESSAGE I HAVE TO TYPE NOW AS THE POWER WENT OFF HERE FOR
|
|
438 JUST A SEC AND I LOST MY FIRST MESSAGE.
|
|
439
|
|
440 THE SHAGGY DOG STORY GOT ME A LOT OF MAIL, I'M HAPPY TO SEE.
|
|
441 HERE GOES:
|
|
442
|
|
443 DEAR DOCTOR: PLEASE DON'T USE THE CLEAR SCREEN FUNCTION AS IT KEEPS US FROM
|
|
444 READING THE PREVIOUS MESSAGE.
|
|
445 PAM: GUESS I JUST NEED THE TTHERAPY VALUE MORE AFTER WORK. THE PAPER
|
|
446 WAS INDEED THE INFAMOUS WILLAMTTE BRIDGE. I ALSO HELPED LATER WITH
|
|
447 ADVERTISING AT THE SCRIBE, ALTHOUGH THAT WAS QUITE A DIFFERENT PAPER.
|
|
448 AT THE WILLAMETTE BRIDGE I WROTE THE CHESS COLUMN, A COLUMN ON CHILDRENS
|
|
449 GAMES AND RHYMES, AND A 'NEWS IN BRIEF' COLUMN CALLED 'THE RIP OFF NEWS'.
|
|
450 THAT WAS MY VERSION OF WORLD PRESS IN REVIEW. THE MAIN DIFFERENCE IN
|
|
451 MY VERSION WAS THAT I GENERALLY PRECEEDED MY TIDBITS WITH SOMETHING LIKE
|
|
452 'WHEN WILL THOSE PIGS IN WASHINGTON EVER LEARN THAT....' ALL I CAN SAY
|
|
453 ABOUT THAT NOW FOR AN EXCUSE IS THAT I WAS ONLY NINETEEN AT THE TIME. I
|
|
454 SUPPOSE THATS NOT MUCH OF AN EXCUSE TO THOSE HERE WHO ARE 16, BUT SO IT WAS.
|
|
455 I GUESS THAT QUALIFIED ME AS A NATTERING NABOB, AT THE VERY LEAST. IT
|
|
456 ALSO GOT MY PHONE TAPPED BY THE FBI, ALONG WITH EVERYBODY ELSE ON THE
|
|
457 PAPER. ALSO THE OFFICE WAS BUGGED (WE ALL KNEW WHERE IT WAS), AND PERIODICALLY
|
|
458 THE COPS WOULD SEND SOMEBODY BY TO TALK TO US DISGUISED AS AN ALBANIAN
|
|
459 BOMB-THROWER OR AN ESCAPED RUSSIAN CAPTAIN OF INFANTRY OR A WOBBLY.
|
|
460 ALSO THEY SENT IN A FEW WHO WERE A LITTLE HARDER TO SPOT. WE WERE ALL
|
|
461 QUITE FASHIONABLY PARANOID ABOUT IT. YOU WERE NO-ONE IN THOSE DAYS IF YOUR
|
|
462 PHONE WASN'T TAPPED. THE MAIN THREAT WAS THAT THEY WOULD MISTAKE US
|
|
463 FOR THE WEATHERMEN OR PANTHERS AND DO A RADICAL-TYPE ARREST THERE AT THE
|
|
464 PAPER. ( THIS CONSISTED OF MACHINE GUNNING EVERY ONE IN A PLACE ).
|
|
465 NEVER HAPPENED, THOUGH, OR I WOULDN'T BE HERE TO TELL YOU ALL ABOUT IT,
|
|
466 WOULD I. BESIDES BEING INFILTRATED BY THE COPS, WE WERE ALSO INFILTRATED
|
|
467 BY THE AMERICAN COMMUNIST PARTY, THE WEATHER UNDERGROUND, AND NOT A FEW OTHERS
|
|
468 AS WELL.
|
|
469
|
|
470 IT WAS LOADS OF FUN.
|
|
471
|
|
472 HAVE READ COMMON SENSE, MANY YEARS AGO. NOT SURE ABOUT THE OTHER ONE.
|
|
473
|
|
474 JODY: RIGHT ON. BUT BACK IN WYOMING, WHERE I GOT MY COCKER, WE CALL 'EM
|
|
475 CROCKERS. WE ALSO CALL HORSES HOESES. I GOTTA TELL YA WHAT HAPPENED TO
|
|
476 MY HOESE SOMETIME.
|
|
477
|

478 HAPPY HOLIDAYS, ED. DO YOU USE THE GEAR AT CHANNEL 6 TO COMMUNICATE, OR
|
|
479 SOMETHING OF YOUR OWN?
