EDITORIAL

=================================================================
|
||
|
||
Here in the U.S.A., it's about to be Thanksgiving Day [Thursday, 27
|
||
Nov] when we get together with family and food to celebrate the fact
|
||
we're still alive and eating. [snicker]
|
||
|
||
Turkeys are the primary victims of our carnivorous tendencies but
|
||
it varies from place to place and sub-culture to sub-culture. Hams,
|
||
pork roasts, beef roasts, vegetarian fare, and all sorts of other
|
||
comestibles made only once or twice a year can come to the fore. At my
|
||
house, there'll be plenty of the top two [turkey & ham] along with
|
||
tons of accouterment and then the major dessert table covered with
|
||
pies of every description.
|
||
|
||
In FidoNet, we can only eat our words while looking at ASCII pictures
|
||
of traditional symbols.
|
||
|
||
Following in the footsteps of last week's cyberHugs, let's give thanks
|
||
to everyone who works, without reward, to make FidoNet function
|
||
every day.
|
||
|
||
Thanks, to ALL Coordinators. Thanks, to all mail hubs. Thanks, to all
|
||
file movers. Thanks, to all the software authors. Thanks, to all
|
||
HelpNodes. Thanks, to ALL Sysops who make this the first and largest
|
||
amateur electronic communication network in the world.
|
||
|
||
Cooperation...What a concept!
|
||

|

Hi,
|
||
My name is Nick Lombardi and I've been running a Fidonet board here
|
||
in NYC since the mid-80's. I've haven't been keeping up with what's
|
||
been reported in Fidonet for a couple of years almost - but I'd like
|
||
to know how I can find a gateway to connect my board to the internet
|
||
for a simple EMAIL connection. Is there any gateway left around?
|
||
Ours in this area went down a while ago.
|
||
|
||
My Email address is: lombardi@murray.fordham.edu
|
||
I'm a Jesuit priest teaching Computer Science here at Fordham
|
||
University. Thanks for any leads you can give me.

|

|
||
Dear Chris
|
||
|
||
I am writing for the advice how to force a fidouser to send an apology
|
||
note to a Polish conference BUY_SELL.POL.
|
||
|
||
Maksymilian Wrzesinski (2:480/80) named me a thief in this conference
|
||
just because he is ignorant about a trial subscriptions of Business
|
||
Central Europe and European Voice and some computer magazines about
|
||
which I spread a word in Net under the subject: "free computer
|
||
magazines"
|
||
|
||
I need to know this before I will take a legal action in Polish court.
|
||
|
||
Below is his letter in extenso and the mentioned offending word i
|
||
underlined.
|
||
|
||
Please send advice, comments or the way how he could turn back this
|
||
offence because the court action could be damaging for him due to huge
|
||
costs.

1. Open Excel for Windows 95 with a blank worksheet.
|
||
2. Scroll down to row 95.
|
||
3. Click on the number 95 to select the whole row.
|
||
4. Press Tab once to move to column B.
|
||
5. Select Help/About.
|
||
6. Hold down Ctrl+Alt+Shift and click on the Tech Support button.
|
||
7. A window labeled Hall of Tortured Souls appears. It is a 3-D
|
||
texture-mapped environment reminiscent of Doom/DukeNukeEm/etc.
|
||
8. Directly ahead of you are stairs with a scrolling cast list. Go up
|
||
and take a look around. Use the cursor keys to move, and 'd' or
|
||
'c' to look up or down.
|
||
9. But there's more! Go back down the stairs and type "excelkfa"
|
||
(without the quotes).
|
||
10. The wall disappears [it's the rear wall], and there's a winding
|
||
path to navigate to see pictures.
|

Tread carefully!

|
||
If and when you request the echo on your bbs please send a test
|
||
