eichin (Mark W. Eichin):
travel:
Back from California. Got lots of new toys. No more travel until 7/1.
Lots of July weddings though, plus teaching at Stanford...
toys:
The metricom "ricochet" modems are *amazing*. kermit is giving
me 1500-2000 cps for large file transfers, from around 750ft away...
and a large encrypted rcp (over CSLIP) got closer to 2500 cps.
lyrics:
I'm gonna die
if you touch me one more time
well, I guess that I'm
gonna die
no matter what...
-- TMBG, Lincoln.
someone saved my life tonight, sugarbear...
you almost had your hooks in me, didn't you dear...
you nearly had me roped and tied...
altar-bound, hypnotized...
sweet freedom whispered in my ear
"you're a butterfly
and butterflies are free to fly
fly away!"
-- Elton John.

Rules to live by:
1. The Road Runner cannot harm the coyote exept by going "Beep Beep!"
2. No outside force can harm the Coyote-only his own ineptitude or the
failure of the ACME products.
3. The Coyote could stop anytime -- IF he were not a fanatic. "A fanatic
is one who redoubles his effort when he has forgotten his aim" -George
Santayana.
4. No dialogue ever, except "Beep Beep!"
5. The road Runner must stay on the road -- otherwise, logically, he would
not be called Road Runner.
6. All Action must be confined to the natural environment of the two
characters -- the Southwest American desert.
7. All material, tools, weapons, or mechanical conveniences must be
obtained from the ACME Corporation.
8. Whenever possible, make gravity the Coyote's greatest enemy.
9. The Coyote is always more humiliated than harmed by his failures
(apparently from the Autobiography of Chuck Young, the creator of the
Road Runner cartoons.)
