Roger, I see that you DO reply to E-mail messages on this forum. I have a client who is interested in your new compression driver, a regional sales rep for our book who needs to talk to you, and some REALLY JUICY gossip you might appreciate. Give me a call at home, please, or reply here. Meanwhile I'll keep trying to call. Or should I just dop in to your office? Dana Parker, 303-221-1747 PS: John Sands says hello.

Dana, Is this the famous Dana Parker? World renowned expert on CD-ROM. Golly gee wiz, shucks, and oh my goodness. Got a phone message from you today. You'll be getting a call tomorrow from a gal names Sherry. I'll be in San Fran for a day or two. Give my office your fax and we'll send you a press release on CRI-X2 Compression driver. Regards toots!

Thanks, Dr. Hutchison, for the dignified recognition. I knew you'd get even with me someday for making you blush about non-returned phone calls. Perhaps we can meet when you return from San Fran (you know the natives hate it when you say that, but it's better than FRISCO). Dana Parker, the world-famous CD-ROM expert ( now all the people who've never heard of me will wonder who this arogant broad thinks she is)

Dana, Good to see you posting on the forum. The world should know your name and revere it as one of the voices of our industry. Your latest book, "Guide to CD-ROM" sits on my real desktop and gets borrowed often. Congratulations are in order, I understand from my book publisher friend that your book is now #4 on the national charts for computer applications. (Peter Norton eat your heart out!) It goes without saying that it is #1 in CD-ROM. This is just another indication of the popularity of the media.(As well as a just reward for a well authored title.) Best Regards from a fan, John L. Sands Oh yea!.. Did you know that your address flag says,"Bob Starrett"?

Aw, shucks, John. Twarn't nuthin', just a little brain dump. It's nice to see you here, too – I was feeling real out of it when I first logged on, because the onliest person I recognized was that young whippersnapper Matt Seitz. It's nice for Rich to offer a forum where we old-timers can stoke each others egos. Yes, I KNOW it's Bob's account – I help pay for it, and I haven't had to get around to getting my own. He's real generous and doesn't mind ssharing. Your faithful admirer, Dana

Dana: >>now all the people who've never heard of me will wonder who this arogant broad thinks she is<< Not only that, but they'll wonder why she thinks her name is "Bob". Best – Rich

Could it be yet another sex change? Cross E-Mail-dressers? Freudian slip? Or was it just a good cigar?

I knew I was going to start getting ribbed about this. So tell me, oh wise and powerful SYSOP, how does one transfer an account? I don't see any sense in both of us having an account, and Bob just reads the messages – he's way too low-key to participate. Can we have an account for Bob&Dana? How about Parker&Starrett? Or can Bob just change the address flag to my name only? I'm beginning to have some gender confusion myself. Bob? Dana? Dana Bob?

Dana: The best place to start askingthis question is GO FEEDBACK which is a free section sponsored by CIS for answering operational questions of this type. Depending on your access method (CIM, TAPCIS, et al) I think there is a way to identify yourself in general, and there is also a separate mechanism for assigning nicknames to yourself in each Forum you visit, which programs like Navigator do on a regular basis. Hope this helps, and please let me know when you uncover the secret! Best- Rich Bowers

Well, for the record gang….. Dana Parker, aka Bob Starrett is the author of the most popular CD-ROM book ever written in the industry. Her presence on this forum is a real plus. Dana, don't be bashful, give us details about your book. Post it over in marketplace and send a library message so people can find out how to buy it and what's in it. It is a fantastic book. PS. You don't have to be formal and call me Dr. Hutchison. Sir will do. <<grin>>

Ok, Roger, sir. Remember that my area of expertise is CD-ROM, not telecommunications. And let's not forget that Bob is the co-author and deserves full credit – it's just that they list authors alphabetically and that he's far more modest than I am. Not to mention his generosity in letting me use his account – I suppose I should get my own or tranfer his to my name, but when you've worked together as long as we have, you learn to share things. Let me know when you're back from San Francisco, I'll come visit. Dana
