57 From: Jeff Meyer
|
||
58 Subject: Apple's New Image
|
||
59 Date: 5 Jun 85
|
||
60 Via: ARPA
|
||
61
|
||
62 Item: Apple is seeking new talent and has hired a new director of
|
||
63 marketing for its Apple II. He is Michael K. Lorelli,
|
||
64 formerly a marketeer with International Playtex Inc's
|
||
65 tampon group (seriously!).
|
||
66
|
||
67 ----------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
68
|
||
69 This should bring about some rather interesting changes in
|
||
70 advertising styles, to wit:
|
||
71
|
||
72 Mainframe protection from a maxi-processor.
|
||
73
|
||
74 Software protection you can trust.
|
||
75
|
||
76 Other changes will be counterparts to IBM's Charlie Chaplin,
|
||
77 namely Cathy Rigby & Brenda Vaccaro. Also, new cover art for the
|
||
78 Apple IIc has been commissioned to stress portability --
|
||
79 paintings of women in nighties running along a beach with a IIc
|
||
80 in one hand.
|
||
81
|
||
82 However, the culmination of this new ideology will occur in two
|
||
83 years, when Apple plans to come out with the ultimate in
|
||
84 engineering and marketing sophistication: a disposable Macintosh,
|
||
85 packed in a cardboard tube. A notice will be printed on the side
|
||
86 of the box warning not to attempt flushing it down the toilet in
|
||
87 areas with low water pressure.
|
||

|
||

||

|
||
91 Oh, dear, I bet I get flamed for this....

|
||
95 There may be too much of this sort of thing on Backwater already, but it's
|
||
96 finally finished...
|
||
97 "Was it love?"
|
||
98 I'm afraid to let you know,
|
||
99 I'm afraid you'll just say no,
|
||
100 Is my fear really justified?
|
||
101 Is this why, late at night, I have cried?
|
||
102
|
||
103 [Chorus, first line differs in A and B)
|
||
104 A: Perhaps it's just a simple fact,
|
||
105 B: There still remains a simple fact,
|
||
106 [Remainder of Chorus, both A and B]
|
||
107 You love another, and now he's back.
|
||
108 What was it that I hoped to gain?
|
||
109 Was it love, or was it pain?
|
||
110
|
||
111 Now you're with your chosen one,
|
||
112 I can see you're having fun,
|
||
113 Ask yourself: Is this really love?
|
||
114 Why no word, no reply, from above?
|
||
115
|
||
116 [Chorus B]
|
||
117
|
||
118 Sadness reigns, how can I cope?
|
||
119 With you gone, there is no hope,
|
||
120 Perhaps I had better realize,
|
||
121 Deep within, in my heart, something dies.
|
||
122
|
||
123 [Chorus B]
|
||
124
|
||
125 To my friends, please say farewell,
|
||
126 I can't stand this living hell,
|
||
127 Time arrives, now I will confide,
|
||
128 This is why, late at night, I have cried.
|
||
129 This is why, late at night, I have cried...

131 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
132 In the Land of Nod, an iridescent vortex formed about a pine-covered
|
||
133 knoll. Thunder boomed in the distance. Reality shimmered and shifted.
|
||
134 Doctor Frankenstupe winked into existence in a new and unknown land. He
|
||
135 paused for a moment regathering his thoughts, then looked around.
|
||
136 He stood at the crest of the round-topped knoll. Before him lay a
|
||
137 vast, pumice plain covered only with patches of scrub grass. In the
|
||
138 distance stark, forbidding mountains contrasted against a deep, purple sky.
|
||
139 Dirty, grey snow spotted the twisted crags. Frankenstupe could hear the
|
||
140 soft call of a mountain lark to his left. The air smelled clean, clear
|
||
141 of society's pollution.
|
||
142 Frankenstupe slowly turned, behind him lay a high valley... quiet and
|
||
143 serene. A small bubbling creek ran through the center. At the far end of
|
||
144 the valley, white smoke drifted lazily upwards. Staring intently,
|
||
145 Frankenstupe could barely discern what appear to be a rustic log cabin.
|
||
146 "This isn't at all what I expected," the Doctor mumbled to himself.
|
||
147 "It's altogether too real... the subconscious is supposed to be weird
|
||
148 and absurd, isn't it?" In confusion he reached up to scratch his thick,
|
||
149 brown hair. "Oh no!" He jerked his hand back down. "It's gone." The
|
||
150 electrode-studded headband that helped send the Doctor to this land had
|
||
151 disappeared. Without it, Frankenstupe knew he would never get home. His
|
||
152 stomach began to rumble in terror.
|
||
153 "What to do? What to do?" Frankenstupe walked in circles, muttering
|
||
154 to himself. Stopping, he took a deep breath. "The cabin..." he said. "I
|
||
155 might as well investigate it... Maybe someone there can help me." He
|
||
156 began to walk down the knoll toward the valley. Looking up, he realized
|
||
157 the sun was a somber orange... perhaps this world wasn't as real as he
|
||
158 first thought.
|
||
159 Reaching the bottom of the knoll, Frankenstupe plopped down in the
|
||
160 shade of an ancient pine tree to rest. Through the trees he noticed the
|
||
161 small stream broadened into a placid pool before him. As he sat quietly
|
||
162 pondering his fate, a deer timidly approached the pool. No, not a deer
|
||
163 exactly... it was covered with long, shaggy brown fur and had a burro's
|
||
164 floppy ears. Frankenstupe, always a nature lover, smiled as the creature
|
||
165 began to drink from the pond.
|
||
166 A feeling of discomfort overcame the Doctor. The creature seemed to
|
||
167 sense it also. It looked up warily. Suddenly, a shadow flashed from the
|
||
168 trees. The deer went down with a squeal. Over it stood a large silver
|
||
169 cat. The cat finished the thrashing deer with a shake of its head, then
|
||
170 it turned and fixed intense amber eyes upon Frankenstupe. Curiosity and
|
||
171 intelligence flickered there. Frankenstupe shivered... the cat roused
|
||
172 something deep within him. The cat turned back to the fresh kill, picked
|
||
173 it up in massive jaws, and trotted arrogantly into the forest. Orange
|
||
174 sunlight played on the cat's rippling muscles and silver pelt.
|
||
175 Frankenstupe sat stunned for a moment staring at the empty glade,
|
||
176 then he shakily gained his feet. "Well, Toto, this certainly isn't Kansas,"
|
||
177 he said. He started to follow the creek toward the cabin... casting nervous
|
||
178 glances into the forest. In the distance, he heard a low, coughing growl.
|
||
179 It seemed the silver cat was enjoying his lunch.

|
||
191 Bad news Mikey, nothing works, well almost nothing. When I load in COPYLINK, it puts the following
|
||
192 characters on the screen:"@ 6NE". It is writing these characters directly to screen memory, because
|
||
193 they show up overlapping the 80x244 graphics characters I use when in CPM on the LNW. These charrs
|
||
194 are written before the opening COPYLINK messages are printed. The program then goes into command
|
||
195 mode as if nothing were wrong. When I go to terminal mode, nothing at all happens. When I type
|
||
196 characters, they don't get to the modem (ie no lights.) I also can't get out of the terminal
|
||
197 mode, you see, the LNW has no escape key, and I haven't found what key/keys is/are mapped to 1BH.
|
||
198 AMODEM loads OK, but the command 'REMOTE OFF' didn't work. I ran AMDINST, and set the RCPM value
|
||
199 to false. I now get the additional menu choices, and I am able to go to terminal mode. That was the
|
||
200 problem. BUT... once in terminal mode, when I type characters, the modem lights do blink, but I am
|
||
201 not getting anything on the screen. The modem is echoing back, but the LNW is not getting the
|
||
202 characters. I can't get out of the terminal mode there either because of the escape problem. MMEX
|
||
203 is the worst of all. While everything seems to work fine outside of Terminal mode, once I go to T
|
||
204 mode, the machine seems to lock up. Well, I hope I have better luck with the adventure programs.
|
||
205 By the way, this message was sent from the LNW, but under NEWDOS and ST80 rather than CPM. <sigh>

210 Good Grief, Mikey! Thanks for the list of files, but I sure hope you didn't type
|
||
211 all that in by hand! I was expecting something more along the lines of directory
|
||
212 listings on paper Thursday. This way is easier for me to manipulate, though,
|
||
213 since it's already in the computer. (I downloaded it and have already started
|
||
214 reformating it for easier viewing).
|
||
215 Since the Chief Archivist is going to be in SF for the next several days, doing
|
||
216 in-depth research, and assuming he hasn't already picked them up, and assuming
|
||
217 I can actually make it, I will *possibly* be picking up the latest archives on
|
||
218 Thursday. Of course, there are probably several people on this board who can
|
||
219 attest to the usual outcome of my "try to be there"'s.

|

244 to say nothing of... oops, better not get started on that! Howyadoin?
|
||
245 pppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp
|
||
246 The piper sat motionless, trying not to move, aware that his slightest
|
||
247 motion brought death and destruction to millions of sentient creatures.
|
||
248 He held the body of ZEB in his arms, where exhausted from weeping she had
|
||
249 fallen asleep. He was thinking deeply.
|
||
250 "My life and continued existence depend on the destruction and death of
|
||
251 others," he was thinking. "Is my life worth the destruction and death
|
||
252 it costs? Is that of ZEB?"
|
||
253 A cramp caught his leg, and an involuntary twitch caused a flare of light.
|
||
254 For a long moment the light brought him knowledge -- knowlege of the death
|
||
255 of a member of a peaceful race -- terror, destruction, and obliteration.
|
||
256 The piper experienced the horror that an individual had felt when his world's
|
||
257 sun had become unstable. Not a nova -- nothing that spectacular -- just
|
||
258 unstable. Huge flares had seared crops, forcing folks inside for days
|
||
259 then dwindling heat had brought unseasonal freezing weather. The seasons
|
||
260 and weather patterns had been disrupted, the loss of life had been huge.
|
||
261 The individual the piper became aware of was killed after surviving years
|
||
262 of natural catastrophes, killed in a freak accident that robbed his death
|
||
263 of any possible meaning.
|
||
264 ZEB moaned softly in her troubled sleep and a tear trickled from her
|
||
265 eye and splashed on the blackness. After the scenes of death faded from
|
||
266 the piper's eyes, he held her even more tightly, trying to stop movements.
|
||
267 "She is consumed with guilt," he realized. "She has been bearing the
|
||
268 burden of her existance here, bearing the guilt that she has kept her life
|
||
269 at the expense of countless others."
|
||
270 The piper controlled his body with an iron will as the knowlege of his
|
||
271 own life depended on the taking of countless others twisted an iron knife
|
||
272 of guilt deep within his heart. The equation seemed so simple -- millions
|
||
273 of lives against two. He saw the black-wrapped handle of his skean dubh
|
||
274 protruding from his stocking top, and almost reached for the slim,
|
||
275 razor sharp weapon that beakoned with its promise of a final answer.

278 MODEM PROGRAM UPDATE!
|
||
279 Mikey, this message was left using AMODEM. Yes, not being the kind of person who
|
||
280 gives up easily, I sat down and figured out what was wrong. In AMODEM, the modem control port is 0EAH, not
|
||
281 0E8H. The 40h and 80h bit maps are correct. A Z80 version of the and instruction would be a BIT 06H,A and BIT 07H,A.
|
||
282 The LNW does have an escape key mapped to control-break. There is no need to remap that key value. In order to set up
|
||
283 the modem, I took out the dummy jump to SETMOD, and put in the following code:
|
||
284 SETMOD MVI A,0
|
||
285 OUT 0E8H ;set up UART with init value.
|
||
286 MVI A,0CDH
|
||
287 OUT 0EAH ;set UART for even par, word length 1, 1 stop bit, break enable, DTR ready.
|
||
288 RET
|
||
289 This appears to work fine. Since I don't have sources to COPYLINK.COM, can you make the changes? Or, if I can
|
||
290 assemble LNW80.ASM (you said this was an overlay for COPYLINK), can I just use DDT6 to put in in COPYLINK. I have't
|
||
291 started on MEX yet, but I think I should get it running soon. Thanks for all your help. Talk to you in
|
||
292 a few days. Thanks for the BW listing. I am leaving the archive work in voyeur's capable hands while I am gone.

327 Amature Analyst: after reading the HELP file and both drives you should

330 you entered your first entry. I can't assure that all of the responces
|

331 will be helpfull ones, people can get nasty aroun here if they are in any
|

332 way offended. This might be the best place for responces from all walks of

333 life, you sure would get a variety of people answering your question. Oh,

334 the bell that your hear when you are entering a line lets you know how close
|

335 you are to the end. This margin is set by the MA command from the main '>'
|

336 prompt. You may set it all the way from 7 to 127, say you want it to be 80

337 so you would just type in 'MA 80' and return, don't forget the space -

353 In which case it is ESCape E (so you can send a control E if need be.)

354 Yes, the LNW80.asm is the overlay to the COPYLINK, just assemble it,

403 find it hard to imagine the piper perpetrating a murder-suicide, but that's

404 where he finds himself. Ideas for his relief are greatly encouraged, his

438 take his mind off of Piper's fate....
|

439 Suddenly, he realized what he had seen. He came near to dislocating

|
||
447 was the unmistakable feeling that Death was coming...that her bonesd f
|

448 fingers were reaching out, and had almost grasped onto the Piper. I
|
||
449 wished him well, and wished that I had been on that ship. For if I
|

450 was there might have been some way for me, ratjher than the Piper, to face
|
||
451 the problems he is facing. If only I had been able to take his place
|
||
452 so all this trouble would never have had to befall him. The Piper is a great
|

453 man, and I am but a rabbit. The natural scale shows that humans outweigh the
|
||
454 animals. That is the way it is meant to be, for it has worked since the dawn

455 of the Age of Man, and will doubtlessly go on for a long, long, long time after

456 my children's children's grandchildren

519 Kathy: (In an extremely serious tone of voice) right now you probably don't
|
||
520 have time to read books or take workshops on stress management. (Funny how
|
||
521 when we can use the techniques, we don't have time, have time don't need them.)
|
||
522 What you probably can do is find 2-5 minutes to spend alone. Take the time to
|
||
523 visualise yourself doing something you find relaxing, such as hiking in the
|
||
524 woods, walking on the beach, or whatever. Try to make it as real as possible,
|
||
525 filling in details, scents, sounds, etc. Better to develop a reputation for
|
||
526 having a weak bladder than to let the stress get to you. Hang in there!

528 From afar, an observer would see little of the scene. The pervasive glow
|
||
529 of the space representing one band of realities impinged upon the solid of
|
||
530 another band. From a great distance, the form of the piper and the sleeping
|
||
531 woman were lost as mere specks on the interface between the endless black
|
||
532 plane and the glowing atmosphere (although atmosphere is not really an
|
||
533 appropriate term here). As our hypothetical observer moved closer
|
||
534 (perhaps skating -- reality skates on an endless rink) the forms would grow
|
||
535 out of the glowing haze, gradually attaining size and substance as the
|
||
536 observer grows nearer. The piper is kneeling, holding a gray-clad
|
||
537 figure. As detail increases, the gray-clad figure is revealed as the
|
||
538 sleeping form of a young woman, clad in a hooded gray cloak, hood thrown
|
||
539 back to reveal her sleeping face. One of the piper's hands is brushing
|
||
540 the top of a stocking where a single bright gem set in the handle of a
|
||
541 small sharp knife rests in a silver-chased sheath held in the stocking top.
|
||
542 His gaze is riveted to the curve of the young woman's throat that beats with
|
||
543 her sleeping pulse, fascinated by the rythm of her life.

571 Kathyd - do not seek the light at the end of the tunnel. For the darkness is
|
||
572 not limited to 23 days. Remember, dragons LIKE caves and other dark places.
|
||
573 "For the dragon choses to keep his treasures hidden
|
||
574 So that the only eyes to fall on them shall be his
|
||
575 And their only sun shall be his fire."

|

578 FOR IT IS THE PART OF A FOOL TO GIVE ADVICE TO OTHERS AND NOT HIMSELF TO BE ON HIS GUARD. PH DRUS.><

582 Diane: There are people who have been around and especialy on this board for
|
||
583 many years, the Piper being one of them. Throughout the good times and all
|
||
584 of the bad he has provided us with stories and good tales for us to read. If
|
||
585 nothing else he has helped keep the Backwater a place for all to enjoy,
|
||
586 something that is not an easy task.

612 lizard men deep down long holes in the ground, I miss the days

614 Will we ever see another world? Large tables and small models
|

615 could solve that. Let's give it a try.
