- What price for vanity?
-
- I was looking through my news record and thought,
- "Hey! I can read this stuff at home if I print it up!!!"
-
- I didn't realize the extent of my newsgroup dabbling. :+)
-
- I typed *-Pugl news.record* and the printer dutifully began cranking out
- copious quantities of hard copy...All my postings from October 2 to November 14! :+)
-
- The printer quit after about 200 pages of my collected works!!!
-
- I jammed the system by mistake and forgot how to get off the print queue.
- (...It's been a little while since my UNIX seminar)
-
- I also printed about 600 and something pages
- from my extensive mail files at different times(!)
-
- Well, I got cut off.
- I had to come up with $ 83.50 to get my account back on line. :+(
-
- I got the money and paid it yesterday.
- It took the Admin guys 22 hours to get around to switching me on again.
-
- They told me that I was responsible for about 90% of all the postings
- going out to the WORLD from UVIC(!) This has given me a local reputation.
-
- I'll answer my mail now...
