I also saw this show, and it was pretty rad... I sure wish I had video taped
that instead of The Dirty Dozen... (think I could get a copy, Zaphod?)...
there was a movie a couple of years back with the same kinda atmosphere that
was also kinda rad... it was called The Lathe of Heaven, about a dude whose
dreams would come true... anyone remember it? I have it on videotape. Simon

I saw "The Lathe of Heaven" and liked it too. I even went out and read the
book. Ursula K LeGuin is a good science fiction author. I read another of her
books after that, but I can't remember the title.

From: MAD CANADIAN
Date: FRI FEB 8 11:33:29 PM
Well, I make an observation about the MPG, (actually a few.) and then they
decide, Let's gang up on MC! (Gee Wally ..... ) I'll believe the box of 10
prize when i see it. I will keep my trap shut about it till then. And you
guys (MPG members and such.) keep on neglecting the fact that Attic Man was
driving, not I (actually, I was driving his car for a while. I didn't know'how
to drive a manual. Killed the engine an infinite number of times.). So, get
your facts straight. I do not believe that all* the MPG members are over 18.
as the title says, 'Humph'.

From: DAVE DUDERSTADT
Date: SAT FEB 9 3:01:32 PM
I WOULD LIKE TO TALK WITH SOMEONE ABOUT THE USE OF ASCII EXPRESS PRO WITH THE
HAYES MICROMODEM IIE. I'M HAVING PROBLEMS DOWNLOADING FILES (HAVEN'T SO FAR!).
I HAVE THE LIST OF BASIC INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE COMANDS, BUT I AM STILL NOT ABLE
T DOWNLOAD. THERE ARE AN AWFUL LOT OF SELECTIONS FOR CONFIGURING THE PROGRAM
TO THE INDIVIDUAL COMPUTER. I HAVE A HAYES MICROMODEMIIE FOR EXAMPLE ( THE
INSERT PROGRAM TALKS OF A MICROMODEM II NOT IIE, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT MAKES A
DIFFERENCE OR NOT) THE PROGRAM SEEMS TO WORK FOR MOST EVERYTHING THOUGH. WHAT
DO I USE TO DOWNLOAD THE TYPICAL PROGRAMS FROM A BOARD? THERE'S
'GET','LOAD','AUTO SAVE','RECEIVE', AND 'X' FOR EXIT TO SUPPOSEDLY EXEC IF YOU
PICK; THAT IN THE INSTALL PROGRAM!!! I'M TOTATLY CONFUSED NONE OF THEM SEEM TO
WORK! COULD SOMEONE PLEASE GIVE ME A CALL OR LEAVE A SHORT DESCRIPTION ON HOW
I SHOULD DOWNLOAD. I ALSO HAVE SMARTCOMI WHICH I HAVE DOWNLOADED SOME PROGRAMS
ON BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO AN AUTO DOWNLOAD WHERE THE HEAD COMPUTER AUTO
SAVES TE PROGRAM TO DISK EXECING IT. I ONLY KNOW HOW TO SAVE A TEXT FILE, EDIT
IT WITHAPPLE WRITERII, THEN EXEC THAT. WHEN I TRIED TO LOAD A TEXT FILE FROM
HERE (MEGA MUSIC) I RAN OUT OF MEMORY FOR THE APLLE WRITER II PROGRAM. THANKS

Why is it that, when you log on, you get the same privlidges as the unpaid,
lazy, persistant caller type? and why is it that the MPG, the NDC, and the
Thought Police, have trouble getting in the same place at the same time? And
why is it, that Attic Man, and Dr. Boogie both wanted to run me over when I was
skitching? "Let's put it in reverse!"

I have received lots of response on the upload contest, but I think that
there should be more, especially along the lines of C64, IBM, and Macintosh
programs and files, most everything that I have received has been for the
Apple!
So C64 users upload!
IBM users upload!
Mac users upload!
Apple // users upload too!

From: JON ELLIOTT
Date: THU FEB 14 11:15:40 AM
If anyone could help me with a problem with Wordstar, I would sincerely
appreciate it. I have a copy that is an older rev. which does not support
modification of printer parameters without knowing the inside locations to
modify. Could anyone provide me information on:
The locations in Wordstar to modify for printer parameters
such as underline, bold face, etc.
or ...
Tell me how to imbed control characters in the text itself,
which would eliminate having to patch Wordstar.
P.S. I am using an Apple w/z80 card and a C. Itoh Prowriter printer.
THank you.
