- It's good to be back. My thumb salutes you all--analogically of course. I
- was actually having a double hernia operation, if any of the adjacent
- aforefingered above is a monitor of whereaboutses. My Kaiser surgeon,
- while examining my protuberances, gazed up at me, popped his gloves and
- coughed, <Fool! Words-L--weren't you warned? These hernias bear all their
- earmarks.> Needless to say I was even more shocked coming to consciousness
- to discover incision scars looking like this-((abh)- or some such although
- I see them upside down.
-
- I liked my kaiser surgeon though i was concerned that he didn't know that
- Timothy Leary germinated some seeds of psychedelia while under the same
- employer's corporate stare. <Tim for Transportation Secretary!> sayeth a
- bumpersticker.
-
- Say, my friends, how's about a bit of advice. I'm in the process of
- plunging into to the purchase of a MAC IIsi. Their appears to me (ergo,
- the question) to be a good deal. $1725 for 5/80 drive, ext KB, 14"Color
- RGB monitor. Sound good? This will be for my home, and I'll be needing to
- get a modem. I'm looking at pp 52-53 of current MACWherehouse
- catalogue--PowerUser 9600, ProModem Ultima, SupraFaxModem, Practical
- SmartPack 9600 Modem. All of them go for about $360. Which (if any) would
- you suggest?
-
- Oops! Time for my roxiprin.
