20 DR. FRANKENSTUPE: AN INTERESTING COMMENT ABOUT PMS, PERSONALLY I DON'T
|
|
21 SEE THE POINT OF CHARGING FOR THE USE OF THE SYSTEM, PARTICULARLY SINCE
|
|
22 THE CURRENT INDUSTRY STANDARD IS FOR THE USE TO BE FREE. HOWEVER, OF
|
|
23 COURSE IT IS HIS PEROGATIVE TO CHARGE IF HE SO WISHES. I ALSO DO NOT
|
|
24 HAVE A TIME LIMIT ON BW. THIS IS DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE BEAST WHICH
|
|
25 MAY REQUIRE THAT THE USER BE ON FOR AN UNDETERMINED AMOUNT OF TIME TO
|
|
26 ENTER THEIR MESSAGE. HOWEVER, MOST USERS ARE UNDERSTANDING AND AWARE OF
|
|
27 THE TIME DEPENDANT NATURE OF THESE THINGS AND KEEP THEIR ON LINE TIME TO
|
|
28 MINIMUM. SOME EVEN DOWNLOAD THE DATA AND READ IT LATER TO HELP SAVE ON L
|
|
29 LINE TIME. THERE IS A TIME LIMIT HOWEVER, IT IS RELATED TO LINE DEAD
|
|
30 TIME. IF THERE IS NO ACTIVITY FOR 5 MINUTES THEN BWMS WILL HANGUP ON
|
|
31 YOU. THIS TIME LIMIT HAD TO BE INSTALLED WHEN THE FANCY NEW SMART MODEMS
|
|
32 STARTED PROLIFERATING AS THE PEOPLE USING THEM DIDN'T UNDERSTAND HOW
|
|
33 TO USE THEM. BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF THE SOFTWARE THAT BWMS RUNS UNDER,
|
|
34 IT DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO HANG UP THE PHONE. (THE TIMEOUT HANGUP IS A
|
|
35 ADD ON PATCH ON THE OUTSIDE THAT CONSISTS OF A 555 TIMER IC THAT
|
|
36 CONTINUOUSLY MONITORS THE LINE. ALL HARDWARE CONTROLED.) AS SUCH THEY
|
|
37 WOULD HANG THERE ON THE SYSTEM ALL DAY IF THERE WASN'T A TIMEOUT FUNCTION.
|
|
38 BUT ANYWAY, THESE SYSTEMS ARE MOST DEFINATLY NOT FREE. THEY COST MONEY,
|
|
39 AND THEY HAVE TO BE PAYED FOR SOMEHOW. SOME SYSTEMS ARE SPONSORED
|
|
40 BY COMPANIES, WHILE OTHERS LIKE BWMS ARE SOLELY PAID FOR BY THE OWNER.
|
|
41 SO YOU ASK, "WHAT DO I GET OUT OF IT?" WELL, PURE ENTERTAINMENT VALUE.
|
|
42 I AM ABLE TO MEET AND TALK TO PEOPLE THAT I WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO
|
|
43 OTHERWISE. IT IS ALSO A GOOD FEELING TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE PROVIDING A
|
|
44 SERVICE TO THE COMUNITY THAT OTHERS ENJOY. ALSO THE PHONE LINE THAT
|
|
45 BWMS USES IS ALSO USED FOR MY DATA COMMUNICATIONS WORK, SO IT WOULD
|
|
46 BE THER ANYWAY, SO I AM SIMPLY PUTTING IT TO USE WHEN I AM NOT USING
|
|
47 IT OTHERWISE. THUS THE ONLY REAL EXPENSE IS THE ELECTRICITY TO KEEP THE
|
|
48 SYSTEM RUNNING. WHICH AT 30 WATTS FIGURES OUT TO BE ABOUT $1.00 A MONTH
|
|
49 THE ONLY OTHER COST IS THE SYSTEM ITSELF WHICH DIDN'T COST ANYTHING
|
|
50 SINCE IT WAS BUILT OUT OF JUNK BOX PARTS. (EVEN THE DISK DRIVES WERE
|
|
51 RESURECTED FROM THE JUNK PILE, THEY WHERE WORN OUT AND I FIXED THEM
|
|
52 UP TO RUN AGAIN. THEY ARE STILL THERE AND RUNNING!) THE SYSTEM
|
|
53 HAS HAD TWO MAJOR FAILURES SINCE IT WAS PUT INTO SERVICE. ONCE A DISK
|
|
54 DRIVE DIED WHICH WAS REPAIRED. THE OTHER TIME WAS A SOLDER SPLASH ON
|
|
55 THE LOGIC BOARD THAT DECIDED TO MAKE ITS PRESENCE KNOWN. ANYWAY, I
|
|
56 HAVE HAD A POLICY FROM THE BEGINING THAT THE SYSTEM NOT COST ME ANY
|
|
57 MONEY TO OPERATE OTHER THEN THE ELECTRICAL COST. EVEN THAT CAN BE
|
|
58 ASSUMED TO BE REEMBERSED AS I ALSO USE BWMS AS A TEST SITE TO TEST
|
|
59 COMMUNICATIONS SOFTWARE.
|
|
60 I HAVE NO PLANS TO IMPLIMENT ANY SORT OF PRICING SCHEME HERE AND WOULD CO
|
|
61 CONSIDER IT SAD INDEED IF IT EVER CAME TO NEEDING TO DO THAT. I MAY EVEN
|
|
62 SHUT THE SYSTEM DOWN BEFORE DOING SO, AS I JUST DON'T THINK IT IS
|
|
63 DESIRABLE WAY TO RUN A PUBLIC BBS. BUT THAT IS JUST MY OPINION.

96 The piper looked around at his companions. They had become unusually subdued.
|
|
97 It was amazing -- who could have imagined that a lady pushing 100 could cow
|
|
98 such a group so quickly? The piper turned back to her and asked,
|
|
99 "M'am -- for lack of a better alternative, we have come to ask the Wizard for
|
|
100 help. If indeed he still exists, could he see us?"
|
|
101 Dorothy smiled sadly. "The Wizard you seek was past puberty when he came
|
|
102 to Oz. He died over fifty years ago. We have had many persons holding the
|
|
103 position since then, but all have proven unsatisfactory for one reason or
|
|
104 another. Our present wizard seems rather preoccupied with other realities
|
|
105 and, quite honestly, not all that competent. His employment has been on
|
|
106 probationary status for the last five years. If you wish to consult him, feel
|
|
107 free to do so. We do not attempt to coerce our wizards, but allow them to do
|
|
108 as they wish. If they violate the Oz code of ethics, or any local laws or
|
|
109 ordinances, the penalty is dismissal from the position." She paused for a
|
|
110 moment, then continued, "In fact, our present wizard needs some motivation
|
|
111 and a test should show whether or not we really want to keep him on or whethr
|
|
112 we should advertise for a replacement." She smiled. "Yes, indeed. The
|
|
113 request is entirely within our ethical framework. While you, yourselves wuld
|
|
114 not be acceptable as long-term residents, you can be aided as distressed
|
|
115 visitors. Follow me."
|
|
116 Dorothy led the way to the small gate from which she and the clockwork man
|
|
117 had issued. The gate entered a series of tunnels in the stone wall. Dorothy
|
|
118 spoke as they walked down the tunnels. "We rarely let outsiders into the city
|
|
119 any longer. The tranquility of the city is easily upset by fighting, bickering
|
|
120 or unkind behaviour. We were forced to prepare underground routes like this
|
|
121 for unsolicited visitors who were not quite calm enough to travel the city
|
|
122 streets. It is amazing how many greedy persons exist for little reason othr
|
|
123 than to deprive others of objects of beauty or utility. We lost nearly half
|
|
124 of the emeralds out of the sidewalks between the palace and the main gate of
|
|
125 the city before we realized that unscrupulous visitors had been prying them
|
|
126 out of the pavement." She stopped at a thick wooden door. "Here we are."
|
|
127 She opened the door and gestured. "Go right on in. If the wizard is not
|
|
128 expecting you, he does not deserve to hold the position."

134 No doubt about it, good wizards are hard to find...but I think
|
|
135 I can help you.
|
|
136
|
|
137 My employer, Mr. McKane, has extensive experience in
|
|
138 protecting precious jewels. Were you to hire him as your
|
|
139 wizard you would no longer have to worry about people stealing
|
|
140 emeralds from Oz.
|
|
141
|
|
142 Though Mr. McKane has no previous wizardry experience he is a
|
|
143 cracker-jack security man. I'm sure he could hire an assistant
|
|
144 from among the many wizards who hang out here. After all, the
|
|
145 place is full of hack wizards that have nothing better to do
|
|
146 with their time than flap their arms and shout silly spells.
|
|
147
|
|
148 If you would be interested in contacting Mr. McKane about this
|
|
149 position I can pass your message along to him in Bulgaria.

157 Let's legalize everthing!! Think of the money we taxpayers could save on law
|
|
158 enforcement alone!! Lawyers could go back to stoop labor and that would solve
|
|
159 our border problems (after all, lawyers are always stooping to something or
|
|
160 other) and look at the saving we would have with no legal fees. Judges could
|
|
161 continue to judge but only at the various county/state fairs and beauty pageants
|
|
162 Just think what a boon this would be to the economy. All those stolen items

163 that would have to be replaced. Those no-interest loans to government officials

332 (AP FARGO) In an early dawn raid, elements of the DEA, U.S. Customs,
|
|
333 N.D. State Police, and SPCA made the largest drug bust in North Dakota
|
|
334 history. Netted in the raid were 54 kilograms of cocaine, 31 kilograms
|
|
335 of cyclomates, 8,541 Barbie and Ken dolls in kinky clothing, and 593
|
|
336 small, furry animals.
|
|
337
|
|
338 Arrested were 17 assorted thugs of that ruthless crime ring: the McKane
|
|
339 Organization. Both the suspects and contraband were located in an abandoned
|
|
340 warehouse on the outskirts of beautiful downtown Fargo. Property records
|
|
341 indicate that the warehouse was owned by McKane Enterprises Inc. A DEA
|
|
342 spokesman said that the warehouse and all other McKane assets will be
|
|
343 seized under the Racketeering Act of 1974.
|
|
344
|
|
345 Ms. Gertrude Heathcliff, SPCA representative, gave the following statement:
|
|
346 "It was horrible, just horrible. The conditions in the warehouse were
|
|
347 wretched; no heat, no water, and no potty facilities. McKane was going
|
|
348 to sell those small, furry animals to an earmuff factory. And what he
|
|
349 was doing with those Barbie and Ken dolls is a crime against nature. I
|
|
350 didn't even know that was humanly possible." Ms. Heathcliff indicated
|
|
351 that anyone wanting to adopt a small, furry animal should contact their
|
|
352 local SPCA office.
|
|
353
|
|
354 Arrest warrants for multiple felony counts are still outstanding on the
|
|
355 following subjects: Leroy McKane, Monsoir d'Autun, and Dufus Penfield.

404 As the others moved forward to confront the wizard, the piper hung back at
|
|
405 the doorway. Dorothy asked him, "What's the problem, piper? You don't seem
|
|
406 awfully eager to head for the wizard."
|
|
407 The piper felt himself blushing slightly, then replied, "Dorothy, it's
|
|
408 kinda silly for a grown man to feel this way, but I just wanted to try to let
|
|
409 you know just how much you and your friends have meant to my life. There is
|
|
410 a special kind of magic that fills a childs soul -- a wonder that lasts a
|
|
411 lifetime. Knowing you and your friends through the Oz books made my childhood
|
|
412 a much better place." He stopped and hesitated for a moment, then kissed her
|
|
413 on her withered cheek. "Thank you very much -- for being you."
|
|
414 She smiled briefly, and -- perhaps it was a trick of the light -- within
|
|
415 the aged form, the piper felt more that saw the shape of a pretty young girl.
|
|
416 Dorothy smiled, but looked at him skeptically. "You must want something.
|
|
417 What is it?"
|
|
418 The piper flushed again, then asked, "None of the rest of the party seem
|
|
419 too concerned, but I know that there were many other children and others
|
|
420 that I had felt were my friends as a child. What happened to them?"
|
|
421 Dorothy answered, "The children that cam before puberty have mostly stayed
|
|
422 the same age that they arrived. A few have decided to grow old -- Betsy
|
|
423 Bobbin now appears in her late 40's --
|
|
424 but most children do not really want to age. The magical creatures have
|
|
425 remained generally unchanged, except for Jack Pumpkinhead. He grew a number
|
|
426 of large gourds one year by mistake. When his last head spoiled he had to
|
|
427 make do with a large gourd with a painted face. He found it so convenient
|
|
428 and much lighter than a carved pumpkinhead, and decided not to return to
|
|
429 sucessive pumpkinheads. He moved in from the farm and became one of Ozma's
|
|
430 main advisors." She paused for a moment. "You had better join the others.
|
|
431 If the wizard gives you any trouble, contact me." She looked at the piper
|
|
432 for a long moment. "If you don't come back this way, and need to talk to me,
|
|
433 tie this over your eyes and follow what you see." She handed the piper a
|
|
434 silk handkerchief embroidered with a golden "d". The hankerchief was feather
|
|
435 light and smelled faintly of violets as the piper put it inside his tunic.
|
|
436 He bowed deeply to Dorothy, nodded his head at Tik-Toc, who had followed, then
|
|
437 stepped within the doorway to join the rest of the party.

472 Big Raid is Hoax!
|
|
473 Fargo, ND (AP)
|
|
474 DEA and ASPCA official deny any knowledge of the raid reported
|
|
475 yesterday. "We have no idea where this rumor started" said one DEA officer, "in
|
|
476 fact there warehouse we are supposed to have raided has been closed for some
|
|
477 time. And no one has ever heard of this 'Mckane Enterprises'"
|
|
478 The ASPCA notes that while there are large numbers of animals available
|
|
479 for adoption, their records show that this is due to a slower than normal
|
|
480 adoption rate over the past few months. "They did not come from this raid", said
|
|
481 a spokesman. It is theorized that a computer "hacker" may have inserted the
|
|
482 story into various news agency computers. Investigations are proceeding here at
|
|
483 Associated Press

494 Sir: we have a large quantity of drugs that we feel you might be interested in.
|
|
495 We are making you a special deal. Quit taking credit for our work & you can have

496 the drugs (and certain other ownerless items we seem to have acquired...),

497 continue-- and you shall discover how uncomfortable life in a "goldfish bowl can

498 be.

499 We deal in information-- and there are many who would be glad to know

500 about some of your dealings. For instance, the matter of those suitcase nukes

501 that were on their way to Libya? Col. Khaddafi would be MOST interested in where

|
|
583 It has come to our attention that certain users of this medium have
|
|
584 somehow come into access of reality pills, pills not meant for consumption
|
|
585 by the masses, but for the consumption of special individuals hand picked
|
|
586 by us for our tests.
|
|
587 We are not sure how the above mentioned individuals received these
|
|
588 pills, whether the leak be inside our organization or outside. We are of
|
|
589 course interested in, shall we say, plugging these leaks, as soon as
|
|
590 possible.
|
|
591 Any aid from the good users of this system would be greatly
|
|
592 appreciated. An of course cash benefits could result in the sucessful
|
|
593 prosecution of any involved in this plot.

595 Thank you for your patience. I will be checking in periodically.
