- Funny you should mention name recognition. I just got
- back from the hospital (had to get an MRI done on my knee--
- "Does this hurt?" "OwOwOwOwOw!!!" "Well, there's nothing
- on the X-rays.. Take these pills and go get an MRI done")
- and while I was waiting (phew, I still have wiffs of
- Odor de hospital) I was browsing through the regular
- cheesy magazines that doctors have (you know, Time, people,
- all about 5 months out of date...) and I came across
- a 5 page (really, 10, if you count both sides) insert
- (nice, glossy paper) from HP!
-
- True, most of it was about their new PC prices
- (not bad--cheap 486's are here to stay) and the new
- LJ4 (*excellent*--buy one *right now*) but there was
- a 1/2 a page on the PA. It was really toned down
- (none of this, "super fast new.." stuff) but it was
- there.
-
- Wish I knew what mag it was..

- I like the stations, it's too bad they're only slightly (memory)
- more expandable than the 128k mac a friend of mine has sitting in
- his closet.
