Dave when I offered my line of complaining and probably ranting and definitely an illogical statement I was thinking of both consumer and business ones and should have indicated what goes where. Sadly Cox knows <Yiddish word meaning "nothing"> about both, and TWC almost does, and AT&T is beginning to realize that really goofed by spinning off their businesses where I am. But you're still right. **Abruptly there is a loud crash and six garbage cans fall over and dump their contents.** ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8 at gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."

PDP-11 arch & OS ownership, was Re: [HECnet] NT 4 on AlphaServer es40

From: Brett Bump <bbump at rsts.org> Domain Name:XX2247.ORG Registrant Name:John Wilson Registrant Organization:XX2247 Ah, ha ha ha ha! Ok, John fess up. What is the real scoop? ;-) Actually unrelated! I set that up ages ago for a documentation project that I'm, um, still getting around to. Other than the obvious name, it's nothing to do with the XX2247 which may or may not own the PDP-11 software. (And thanks Dave McGuire for the key in the blurry picture!) John Wilson D Bit
