I was out of town and missed this thread.

I was born in '55 and got a Chemlab 3 around '65.  One of my most 
notable experiments was extracting chlorine gas from bleach and then 
testing the respiratory system of my parakeet with it.  I carried the 
test tube over to the cage and puffed across the top of it to carry 
the gas to the bird.

I was, of course, enthralled with explosives.  I had a recipe for 
making a contact explosive with ammonium nitrogen triiodide, but 
couldn't get ahold of any iodine crystals.  My mother was friends with 
the local pharmacist and I tried to talk him into selling me some, but 
he protested that they were dangerous and kept asking "What do you 
want them for?" and I innocently kept responding "Just experiments 
with my chemistry set . . ."  I never scored any.  Eventually I left 
the science world and became a musician.  It took news of the Oklahoma 
City bombing for me to ever learn about ammonium nitrate.

Spartan Sprint Tonight!

To the Radio Amateurs:

Tonight is the monthly Spartan Sprint, sponsored by the Adventure Radio
Society.  Spartan Sprint spans two hours starting at 9 pm Eastern Daylight,
8 pm Central Daylight, 7 pm Mountain Daylight, 6 pm Pacific Daylight.
That's 0100 to 0300 UTC.

Rules [ http://www.arsqrp.com/ars/pages/spartan_sprints/ss_rules_new.html ]
for Spartan Sprints are simple, but you must accurately appraise your
stations total weight.  A "reminder" about station weight [
http://www.arsqrp.com/ars/pages/spartan_sprints/Reminders.html ] is worthy
of review.

BBS & TELNET

<x-flowed>
Rick, I thought you and others may find my method interesting, and it 
works in win-doze as well as linux & unix.
In your browser's address bar type:
 	telnet://club100.org   (which brings you to the login prompt) or
If you have a telnet client or dumb terminal program like HYPERTERMINAL, 
PROCOMM, RXVT (in linux, etc...) simply type:
 	telnet club100.org	(which brings you the login prompt)
Of course, the command in the browser address bar simply brings up the 
terminal window/app and executes your command. Like others, I also forgot 
my login name/password, or if I even ever had one, so that was the end of 
that. You may also try to telnet into another unix/linux site that has 
dial-out capabilities, and issue a remote connection from there. Amateur 
Radio Packet users are well aquainted with this technique, as it is 
standard for all ax.25 traffic on the radio. For the uninitiated, ax.25 is 
simply an Amateur x.25 protocol, and is almost identical to the x.25 
protocol used throughout the internet and its predecesors, such as 
arpanet, milnet, navnet, satcomnet, etc....
I believe Phil Karnes is responsible for both protocols, along with the 
KISS protocol, and perhaps others, but I digress.

Try the aforementioned command, Rick, and some of you others that are 
still capable of remembering your passwords & user ids. I'm assuming it 
will work as long as you get the name of the bbs right. Of course, your 
milage may vary on this, so caveat yer emptor or something like that.
Mike

Re: BBS & TELNET

Actually, that's trying to telnet into the machine at Lizard Hill
(kermit) that hosts
the Club100 website, an entirely different machine than is the one that the BBS
runs / ran on.

I just tried to login there too - until I realized what it was.

To: Lizard Hill People -- Sorry, I wasn't really trying to hack your
login prompt.
Ron.

Hve always found that particular argument funny, given that New Zealand, Australia, Canada, US etc are all
immigrant nations. All of us have a shared common history of completely screwing over the natives,
bringing all our problems over with us. Why should recent immigrants be any differnet & be scorned because
of it? Classic example is the Catholic v Protestant thing being carried on in the "new"country. What tends
to happen is the immigrants slowly assimulate into the new culture over a few generations. But even then
things still remain from the past in all our cultures. The US suffers from the influence today of the
puritan values of the pilgrims whom europe got sick of. Cananda still has the remnant British v France
mutual antipathy. Australia still has hightened dislike/love/hate rela
 tionship with England due to their past. Same with NZ.

Its probably a natural reaction for any incumbant people to frown upon new arrivals. Am sure the Maori,
Aboriginals, American Indian, Eskimos, Canadian Indian etc etc thought "who are these wankers?" when
our decendants arrived too! :-)

You know ... come to think of it ... Rodney King's question is 
pertinent ... "Why can't we all just get along?"  Of course, the 
answer is ... no!  As the song goes, "...different strokes for 
different folks ...and so on and so on and skooby doobie 
doo."  However, if everyone used a Model 100, 102 or 200 the world 
would be wonderful ... nice to each other ... chatting at 300 baud 
... no color ... no super twist LED junk ... and if it can't be 
programmed in BASIC or 8088 ML or fit in 32K less overhead (29638 
bytes) you don't need it.  -Rick-

RE: how much of a risk to the USA is the border with Canada?

Well, we probably don't want to go any further with this, and I shouldn't
have taken John's bait ;-)

I just thought it ironic that people are fleeing the United States with its
history of welcoming immigrants, and seeking asylum in Canada...

The times they are a-changin'...
