Those tiny little waves wailed on me. The boy scouts taught me how to paddle on a lake. I was NOT prepared for my canoe ride in Mystic Harbour this morning. Not at all. I think I travelled about 800 feet in an hour flat. My hands are still soakin wet. Wet from all the hard splash I had to do just to keep inside the Grumman. I'm facing away from this post I tied onto. I am going NOWHERE. Yet this landlubber still must look back behind him to reassure he's not going to smash into the pole he's tied onto. Pure science is that he's being pulled away from the post constantly. However eyes and settling stomach tell him the opposite. You look down beside you and you're travelling about 3 MPH backwards. Look anywhere else, you're going nowhere fast. Triceps are severely pumped. Feet and ankles are torn to shreds. Driving an '87 Chevy S-10, you dont know what a struggle is. Step onto the back of this Canoe and I will relax in front of you... watching. Waiting patiently as you throw your paddle around fighting the quarter-inch waves. Humbling.

This is one of the few (3 or 4) negative things I've seen to come from computer use/abuse/consumption/ digestion. "Do you use a commodore or an atari?" was the common thought among 8bitters. It hasnt stopped. In fact, even between the 16/32's like the ST or the Amoeba, you see a lot of infighting. Is your modem Hayes or blah mode? 12 or 24 hundred nibbles per nanosecond? Is your screen 80 or 132 column? Even among the elite, I have seen some stupid generalizations/judgments/ eyeball-chewing. Are you a hacker or a phreaker? Telenet or Tymnet? Unix or Zenix? What this essay is trying to get across by the end of its writing is this: IT DOESNT FUGGIHM MATTER!!! I've seen a bright individ on an apple 2+ get more resultz on my BBS than an Amy 2000er!!! I've seen an 8bitter do power-more than your basic mac 2 freak. Cygnus has a good analagy for us all. It aint the machine, says he. It's the operator. I wonder if he still feels that way now that he's moved from his cp/m on up to the amy 500??? I bought my first computator for one thing only. WP!!! (word processing). It was a portable computer that I could bring to the ball park, jot down a few things, and then go home and print it out. Then I got a desktop kind of thing that could rest at home, and be there when I wake up. Sort of like a wife. Hmmm. Somewhere before that, I already found out that the laptop had a built in 300 baud modem; so I was already thinking of how I could get the two together. Then along came a nice 3/12 modem for my desktop. Thanks to that educated 60 dollar decision, I can now grab a soda at that ballpark, and set my laptop on the payphone and send the stuff to my desktop. Something I want you to work on. STOP FIGHTING AMONGST YOURSELVES AND START MOVING TECHNOLOGY FORWARD instead of worrying whether someone is a commie/atarian/amoebite/applehead/ Ibeamer. --------------------------() CITICORPSE. A COMPANY WITH NO RAISEN D'ETRE. ()-------------------------- Citibank has purchased the First Republic Bank Delaware for 158MIL. They closed their venture capital unit in California in may and are now reorganizing into two unita: venture capital, and leveraged buyouts. For the year 1987 their operating expenses was 8M. They paid 15.5M in interest against interest income of 22M. Other income was 6 against 4.5 in expenses. For some strange reason, their taxable income was only $240 thousand dollars. Citibank declared a net loss of $1,138,000 for '87!!! Citibank owes 12 thousand to repurchase agreements, 11K to borrowed funds, 16K to their parent company, Citicorpse, 5K to their subsidiaries. According to sources, Citibank is party to various viscious lawsuits. Citibank's '87 loan loss provision was increased almost 2 1/2 times what it was in 1986, reflecting the uncertainty of fully collecting loans made to the 3rd world. The allowance for loan losses went from 1.2 billion to 4 billion dollars. And the man responsible for all this? John S. Reed. Call him up on the tellie and let him know what you think of how he's helped America get from a 1 trillion dollar debtor nation to a 2.6 trillion debtor in just 7 years!!! 212-559-1000. ========================= :THE ELEVEN COMMANDMENTS: : OF REVENGE from SCREW : : UNTO OTHERS by : : George Hayduke : ========================= 1) Thou shalt neither trust nor confide in anyone! 2) Thou shalt never use thine own telephone for revenge business! 3) Thou shalt not touch revenge documents with thy bare hands! 4) Thou shalt become a garbage collector! 5) Thou shalt bide thy time before activating a revenge plot! 6) Thou shalt secure a "mail-drop" address in another city! 7) Thou shalt learn everything there is to learn about the vicitm! 8) Thou shalt pay cash all the time in a revenge plot! 9) Thou shalt trade with merchants who have never heard of you! 0) Thou shalt never threaten thy intended victim! !)
