Right there with you. I haven't had TV reception capability in my home in about fifteen years. Pure garbage, and I have no time to waste! I decided to put a nice TV from the '80s in my bedroom. I can watch 99 channels of snow now! Far more stimulating than most "reality" shows. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA -- Cory Smelosky http://gewt.net/ Personal stuff http://gimme-sympathy.org Experiments

My grand-daughters sit and watch the same mind-numbing kiddie shows over and over. The worst has been the stupid Alvin chipmunk movies. I'd love to feed those animated rodents some rat poison but, considering what it's costing me to swallow rat rat poison daily, I'd settle for bashing them over the head with a shovel. Wow! This thread seems to have exploded when I asked for moderation... :-/ Johnny

OpenVMS Backup

Yeah! I really didn't think about it. Maybe that's the best solution. It all depends on what the OP means by "archiving". If he wants files readily accessible anywhere by anyone (e.g. via browser), the LD solution would be very nice, otherwise /IMAGE would be the best, I think. Mine was a trick... G. :) Eric, I will look into ZIP/UNZIP as an option - I got to the point of having the software compiled but then went down the saveset route.

Psilo downtime

by pontus＠update.uu.se

Hi psilo.update.uu.se is going down for maintenance tomorrow morning. We are getting new system drives and replacing a fan. Should be up again by evening time I haven't followed the HECnet list so closely, but Psilo does some hecnet routing. How much do you guys depend on Psilo? You are more than welcome to do so, I'm just curious. (well, the mailing list is also run from Psilo.. so there is that) /P

(All I know is the connection between Cisco and PDP-10s) Not the company, but the people. Bosack in particular worked extensively with Lisp Machines at Stanford...and was there ever a PDP-10 that DIDN'T run a lot of Lisp? ;) Len worked for Ralph Gorin at Lots, tops20 on PDP10. Have a look at the Tops20/Tops10 tape drive code. -P

But TI made the silicon for it, and from there we get those first generation expanding Macs, and of course the trillions of List Machines. In fact I've got an AUI Transceiver here may have been used on one, then again it being tagged with a HP number on it, I suspect it was used on of their cranky machines..... ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8 at gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."
