[oh, sure, you expect a lot from your SysOp.  You expect him to know offhand
 the answers that have stumped humanity's greatest minds throughout the ages.
 And, as we all know, he usually can.  But..there's two sides to this thing.
 You also must have a member who ASKS those very selfsame questions that
 have stumped humanity's greatest minds throughout the ages!  Fortunately,
 such people still exist.  Here's a few from Stew, and my replies]

When I save a file, where does it go?

What is a "mouse"

Will my floppy disk work on any computer?


From: Sysop
  To: Stew Perkins    

I will be happy to answer your questions.  It's what I'm here for:

1) You are not an ordained minister, so you may not "save" a file, only
"store" it.  Although you'd still need a merchant's license, even for that.

2) "mouse" is a color, somewhere in between gray and brown.  It's also a
delicious French chocolate drink, although, being French, they spell it
differently.

3) You don't own any "floppy" disks.  Touch and feel one.  Hard, aren't they?
Try biting just one corner off.  Tough, huh?  No, you quite obviously have
"hard" disks, not "floppy".

Any further questions, let me know.

Does anyone know te best way to get an 030 system to run as fast as possible
(with regards to rendering).  I have the SETCPU program.  But I'm wondering if
programs such as CHOP, TURBO, CPUBLIT, and other Playboy Magazines can get it
running at optimum speeds?

On another note, what is the largest suspension bridge in Idaho?

These are really important questions!



From: Sysop
  To: Stew Perkins    

  Again, you ask the deep, probing questions of our time.  To answer your
second, and perhaps most important question first, there ARE no large
suspension bridges in Idaho.  I checked the thirty longest in the world, and
Idaho got nary a mention.  I also checked through all the largest Cantilever,
Simple Truss, Steel Truss, Continuous Truss, Continuous Box And Plate Girder,
Continuous Plate, I-beam Girder, and Drawbridges, all to no avail.  But take
that gun away from your head, as it turns out, there's VERY good news.  At
Twin Falls, Idaho, stands the ninth longest Steel Arch bridge in the world!! 
Build in 1976, spanning the mighty Perrine River, the Twin Falls Bridge
reaches the incredible distance of 993 feet between spans.  I pray this
information sates you, at least temporarily.


[ Luckily, it did.  But he'll be back! ]
