A sunRISE service? SunSET I might understand, seeing that I didn't arrive until about 9:00 p.m. (It's hard for me to climb out of my coffin during the day.) But I'll deal with it; they're 200 miles away from me, and anyway I prefer altos.

Sargent play and > sing some of his own creations. Perhaps the other musicians were a blessing, seeing that they were darn near professional. My stuff may have been a blessing lyrically, but musically, by comparison at least, it was, if not a curse, at best indifferent. Remember, I've only played guitar for < 3 years, and I'm not all that faithful at practicing. Anyway, let's drop this BBQ sauce legend; I didn't have any at Rsk's party, since (as seems to be a habit) I arrived long after the main food was gone. > And of course it wouldn't be a *real* bonfire without horror stories. > We heard about...the -shudder- CDC 6500 (complete with -ugh- PROCSY), In many ways, I'd a darn sight rather use PROCSY (Purdue Remote On-line Console SYstem, the home-grown terminal system on Purdue's CDC 6000's) than Unix. Chief reason is, of course, that a Vax is not a computer, and thus does not function with more that 15 users on it; hence Unix loses much of its appeal. The 6000's are real computers with hair on their chests; they'd probably be fast even running Unix! But this is not the group to flame about the obvious performance deficiencies of Unix and Vaxen. However, I think I'd still say the same thing even if I were not the Purdue staff member principally responsible for the maintenance of PROCSY.... -- -- Jeff Sargent {decvax|harpo|ihnp4|inuxc|seismo|ucbvax}!pur-ee!pucc-h:aeq THIS SPACE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK (it couldn't stand it there any longer).
