Greg, Yeah, I knew what it was. But when I saw your signature on the message, I couldn't resist the jab. I've always thought I-ANAL was particularly appropriate when referring to legal matters… ;-D …B.

Paul S., > 28 minutes @ 14.4?! I don't remember it taking that long at all even at 9600, the speed limit here. But it was past yesterday, so I really can't be held accountable. I'm not sure 1.3 and 1.3.1 are same (size wise or otherwise) since I read…

Hi Greg, You, Greg? (Might wanna review that acronym…) ;-o …B.
Jack, Jack, Jack… Freedom of speech is a wonderful concept, don't you agree? You pay your $9.95 every month, and you get to post anything you want, anywhere you want in the always open and rarely censored, wide-open world of CompuServe. But I've gotta ask, are you still lost? This…
Thanks. Now THAT'S funny!
Paul S. > Going by the sheer volume of D "verbose-r-us" G's posts, I think its safe to assume he's not communicating at 2400 baud. When I downloaded WinCIM 1.3, it was two disks, took maybe 5-10 minutes at 9600 (just a guess??), and my CI$ account was credited $10…
Alec, > Shouldn't that read, " The issue is whether SINGLE man is to be regarded as a sacrificial animal. Any MARRIED man with any self-esteem left will answer "Maybe… What do YOU think, Dear?" 😮 ;-D …B.
Flatus –> *critical point* > Ahhhhhh, yes. Quite simple, actually, when stated so precisely. I do enjoy the enlightenments served up by all these finely tuned, deeply intellectual Asoft forum minds. So, the logical progression of the Vegetarianism 101 dialectic is: solid –> semi-solid –> gas –> Paul S. Right?…

Hiya Sparky! Thanks for the test results, they were PERZAKLY the answer to my question. Occasionally, I need to import or load a huge .DXF or .SHP file to use as a template in the shaper, and since 3DS only tells me the SHAPE-MAX is too small, but not by…
Gary,
TedB, _BUICKS!!!!!!_ That emoticon means you're not being completely truthful, now, don't it? If you guys up there were turning Buicks, the local surgeons must'a been making fortunes shoving your intestines back into their proper places. "Turn your head and cough, sonny. Ooops! Mrs. Boardman, were going to have to…

How 'bout a "Double Hog-back Ratt'ler?" Did that maneuver ever get to your neck o' the woods, or was it strictly a local exPRESSion? Agreed! _TED!!!!_ Ohhhhh,…

Hi – G, Ohhhh, it's just me again… I've been meaning to ask, but now that I've had to edit 3ds.set yet again, I won't put it off any longer. How much of a memory hit do I get by maxing out the SHAPE- MAX =, PATH – MAX =,…
Jeffrey, > HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! So, you've been been there, too? I tried writing code in Atlanta nearly a decade ago, but had to give it up because I couldn't "assume the position" for long periods of time. When I read your description, my mind's eye immediately conjured…
Gary, I believe you're referring to an Isetta, a twin cylinder, two-cycle Sachs motorcycle engine powered two-seater caskets on wheels built by Italians in the '50's.The front door, the ONLY door, opened out taking the steering wheel, dashboard, and windshield with it. Shifter on the panel where the door handle…
I usta know how to make a hormone…
TedB, Don't know about that yet. Of course, if you tell me you're gonna be selling copies of your exercise videos there, I'll start bugging my supervisor for SIGGRAPH money _EXTRY_ hard! 😀 …B.

Hi Dave, Saw video of Paree today… looked like Venice. What happened, snow melt? Without knowing exactly your purpose for a removeable HDD, here's this: If you're looking for reliable, portable storage, look into optical. I've been using a Maxoptix Tahiti 2M just like an extra HDD for over a…

FREE ZONE – Take Deux
Message #149672
Scaat, I thought this should go into Take 5 before we get in trouble for thread drifting . Given the time, a decent set of reasonably scaled drawings, topo info (x,y,z coords minimum), and enough highly detailed photographs for reference and scanning, I _MIGHT_ consider starting on parts of Machu…
Hi Jack, I just saw Tom Brokaw plugging the new Dylan CD on NBC Evening News. None of your graphics, just a CD flic playback of digitized Bob playing his guitar and singing "the times they are a-changin'," for about 5 seconds. Nothing like free advertising, eh?;-) …B.

Hi, David, Nice reply, , as always. dm to kg Would that be the same Asoft party where we made acquaintance, in Orlando? I've not seen any photos of that gathering. We did take a camera, just never had it with us at the right times. Is the photo one…

d "" g, Sam Donelson is a lovable old ABC news reporter who is always warmly welcomed by the political ingrates he interviews, and a regular on ABC's "This Week with David Brinkley"on Sunday mornings. Some of your messages during recent discussions brought him to mind. I apologize for not…
Hi Scaat, You aren't alone. Unfortunately, there's still nowhere to UL meshes, so there's little left to do but endlessly discuss what people write in messages here. Meshes can and should still be built while we wait and discuss. Build now, optimize later.

sanford, > Yes, I've read it, but haven't replied to it yet. I was unaware of any urgency associated with responding to it. You may not have received any responses yet because readers are carefully considering issues presented in the _proposed_ charter and are busy preparing their responses/alternatives to it.…
