 WL> And an resident electrician (like Murphy Brown's Elden-the-painter)
 WL> to install all the outlets those wall warts will need!
 TR> I don't do sitcoms, so I don't know who he is.  Even with pretty
 TR> redheads, I don't do sitcoms.  :-)
Candace Bergen, who plays Murphy, is a blonde...and should probably
be described as a "fading beauty".  Elden, played by Robert
Pastorelli, was neither pretty nor a redhead.   Ah, for the
good old days when "I Love Lucy" was a new program!
 WL> one, I haven't found it.  Then again, if it's really a "stealth"
 WL> BBS....
 TR> I can just hear it:  "It came at us out of the sun, and I swear it
 TR> looked on radar like a C-64 with a 1541 floppy and a 1670 modem, but
 TR> it hit us with a 64K blast of data!"  :-)
ROTFL!  
 WL> "Strange" and "Telephone company" just seem to go together!
 WL> But if your local telco is stringing as much new cable as mine
 WL> is, it may not be that far-fetched.
 TR> I think Ameritech has done strung all they're gonna string in this
 TR> area. I'll bet that, from the local CO to the main one in downtown
 TR> Flint, it's all fiber.  From here to the CO back to another Courier
 TR> three floors down and across the hall, I can get a solid 33K6 connect,
 TR> every time. 
I'm tempted to say something witty (well, halfway) about "the
shortest distance between two points", but I send bits along a
similar path now and then myself.  At least, of the cable is already
strung and reasonably new, you shouldn't have too many interruptions
of service...except for the usual things such as cars hitting
telephone poles and water getting into underground cables, of course.
 WL> MobyTurbo is great -- I have friends who swear by it, and their
 WL> cps-rates back their claims.  Maybe I'll go ahead and get the
 WL> DOS version of either DSZ or GSZ.
 TR> Might as well.  $30 for GSZ, $20 for DSZ.  I got my GSZ for half price
 TR> and my DSZ registration card, though, when it first came out.  And,
 TR> Chuck Forsberg pretty much guarantees you free upgrades on whatever
 TR> products you register with him.
DSZ would probably be a worthwhile investment for the BBS I should
have running soon.
 WL> (Thank Heaven for Ray Gwinn!)
 TR> (Amen!)  I wonder if Ray Gwinn does Windows driver replacements...
 
I don't think so, but I sure wish he did.

Tom, I noticed your origin and it started me thinking about George
Hatchew.  Any idea how he's doing these days?  If you have any recent
info, perhaps we should move this to either the Blue Wave echo or
Netmail...I think George used to use a USR modem on one of his
board's dialup lines, but that's probably stretching the topic beyond
its breaking point here.
