Writing 121 and a intro 255 to college math. For a old girl like me to be taking FRESHMEN classes 256 has a numbing effect on the brain. Other than that things are pretty 257 normal.

Any by the author of the story of 536 the dancer...??? 537 Anyway, I'll be entering a new bit to the Elforson saga,(Even though 538 it's not much good..)If you like it lemme know, if not, again, lemme know 539 somehow.(This is aimed at KHW specifically., as I can trust his/her 540 opinion. 541 542 I'm now only two hundred levels below the 543 surface now, and I'm worried because I've heard a few guard 'bots 544 around this level.I'm on an ancient battered mkIII at the moment.What 545 worries me is how ancient it is.This era on this world shouldn't be this 546 advanced.It's apparently a couple of hundred years old.This isn't Camtim 547 stuff, I suspect that one being i responsible..... 548 549 Oh s**t, I'm in trouble, there's a damned great 'bot headed 550 this way, and it's not an engineering job either.... 551 552 553 slipping quietly away, 554 555 Adric. 556 ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? 557 .-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. 558 KathyD: Welcome to PSU and red tape and long lines... 559 Piper: If you would like to use it, I've got a 'quicky' uploader made just 560 for BW. I wrote it before I had anything else, just to tide me over. The 561 hitch is that it's in mbasic. If I remember correctly, it has a timed loop 562 in it to wait for BW's , but that could easily be changed to a 563 'wait for echo', or adjusted for you cpu (mine's 4.7Mhz). I'll send it 564 thru L'homme if you would like, or put it on the upload section of cbbs/nw 565 Let me know if you're desperate enough for it... 566 .-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.Emu 567 WHO CARES? 568 ppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp 569 Emu -- Thanks, but I don't think it would do much good. My new box doesn't 570 speak basic -- I've gotta hack in 'C' or Smalltalk. While it would be 571 easier in Smalltalk, I like Emacs for an editor and St takes forever to 572 load (after all my image is nearly 2MB). I just have to come to terms 573 with the 'C' calls -- it's been a long, long time. 574 ppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp 575 10101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010 576 577 ALL RIGHT, WHAT'S ALL THIS THEN? 578 579 AN ULTIMATE INTELLIGENCE? 580 581 SO MR.
