<\/center><\/p>\nI’m splitting up the contents of this disk (descriptively labeled “File Disk”) since it contains a number of documents, some of which are pretty long. This document (DM1016.DOC) contains more love letters, plans for a couple of hotel meetings in Orlando and St. Petersburg (including an ASCII map), discussion of managing underage interlopers, a request to a Playboy Playmate for an autograph, a trivia contest, a survey and more. Some of the “ARNE” related stuff is also here from the first document from this disk. This is apparently the original log and you can see commands where certain e-mails were saved out to the ARNE.DOC file.<\/p>\n

Press RETURN to begin:.lt\n .b 2\n \n \n Whether you call them temporary, transitory or\n short-term, relationships of this nature are here to stay.\n You are undoubtedly having them now whether you realize it or\n not. And short-term relationships are neither inherently\n superior nor inferior to long-term ones. They can be a\n source of joy, enrichment and satisfaction *if* you acquire\n the attitudes and skills to do two things:\n 1) Enjoy to the utmost whatever moments are spent with\n another person - no matter how few these may be.\n 2) Make agreements with others to get more - much more -\n of what people can give one another to enrich their experience\n of life *right now* instead of being limited by concerns about\n what might happen tommorrow.\n We aren't suggesting that people have no concern about\n the duration of a relationship, think only of today and not\n make promises to each other. In fact, to have good short-term\n relationships, people must make clearer, firmer, more\n responsible promises. However, these promises should center\n around the present and immediate future and not on some\n illusory \"forever\". And life is made up of moments - moments\n of tenderness, of laughter, or devilishness, of hope, of\n insight, of success.\n You can especially enrich your life by learning how to\n share some special moments with other people - special\n moments we call * BRIEF ENCOUNTERS. *\n \n \n COMMENTS:\n \n Subject: JOY OF LIFE\n Author: RODM\n >>>>>>>Date: 11\/20\/84<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< WOW! >>>>>>>\n \n IF THIS WERE NOT TRUE WOULD THERE MUCH REAL CONTINUING JOY IN LIFE ??!!\n \n \n \n Love,\n \n Rod\n \n \nMAIL> d\n \n \n \nMAIL> \n \n \n #2 16-OCT-1985 02:49:13 MAIL\n \nFrom: BOS1A::RODM \n To: CABUYS ,RODM \n Subj: another FIND - This one SAD \n \n My Darling Connie,\n \n I don't mean this to depress you or ANYTHING like that but found it and wished I\n \n I could call the author to bear !!\n \n Not as much as you my darling , but I feel a hurt in my heart at the missing\n of the REAL \"Princess\"!\n \n \n Name: WHO AM I \/ PRINCESS\n Type: TEXT\n Date: 19-JUL-1985 21:36 bdy JOHNMYSELF\n \n \n The person on-line may or may not be who they seem.

This puzzled me.\n When I \"met\" my compu-friends on the phone it was like a\n different facet of their personality was coming across to me.\n When I finally meet somone I discover a 3rd facet\n and realize my true feelings about them.\n I really feel that I am 3 different identities:\n 1. The Princess Leia of Compuserve or\n Delphi - very open and flirtatious\n 2. The Leia on the phone - open but a bit more\n reserved and\n 3. Peggy - mommy and wife - less flirtatious, but still as\n open when the right feeling is there\n But in them all I am open and honest about myself, so maybe I\n am not so different after all. Maybe as I said they are just different\n facets of the same person.

It’s amazing how much information can fit even on a 5.25″ floppy disk when it is all text. This disk is from a batch I picked up at a thrift store a number of years ago. At least some of them were apparently once owned by someone named Connie A. Buys who used to run the “Close Encounters” Special Interest Group (SIG) on Delphi in the mid 1980s. A specific definition of this SIG was found in a previous document: “This SIG, known as “Close Encounters”, is a forum for the discussion of relationships that develop via computer services like the Source, CompuServe, and Delphi. Our primary emphasis is on the sexual aspects of those relationships.” Everything was text based from whatever terminal program you used to dial in to Delphi’s servers. Many of these disks have forum messages, e-mails and chat session logs. All of this is pre-internet stuff and I don’t know if there are any archives in existence today of what was on Delphi in the 1980s. In any case, much of this stuff […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[2363,2913,2042,2362],"class_list":["post-18548","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-computer-arcana","tag-computer-arcana","tag-delphi","tag-digital-archaeology","tag-retrocomputing"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.megalextoria.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18548","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.megalextoria.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.megalextoria.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.megalextoria.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.megalextoria.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18548"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.megalextoria.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18548\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":33913,"href":"http:\/\/www.megalextoria.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18548\/revisions\/33913"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.megalextoria.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18548"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.megalextoria.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18548"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.megalextoria.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18548"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
