#Just when you thought
9 messages in this thread
…. it was safe from all those Christmas cards, and to get on CIS when
you-know-who was out of the country, just LOOK at what is "Peking" in here!!
Hi gang! Greeings from Beijing! Proof yet again that there really is
NO way to escape, but hope this message does reach all of you reading
it, and finds you happy and healthy. As you noticed I did not get on
much before or after the break (my gift to all of you!) soooo, this
let me take this opportunity to say both THANKS for the best year yet
in 1993 and to wish you all the very best in this new year. I used
to have my doubts that the years could continue to improve but with
grrrrrrreat people like you to work with I have learned that it does
indeed! So here is to making 1994 even bigger and better than '93!!
In case it makes you all feel any better I can let you know that
another thing that you can't seem to escape from in this world is
…. computer virus!! We arrived at the lab here early Sunday
morning to do what should have been (by now) a fairly simple
installation and setup. Well, let's just say we DID have the lab
running by Monday morning but the @#% virus is still lurking around
and jumps up to bite us once in a while, but we are surviving. This
is a particularly nasty strain as it can seem to survive even a low
level format, and go undetected by even my latest download of McAfee
"scan" software! Oh well, think how boring a straightforward setup
would be right??!!
Well, it is late (here at least) and so I think I am going to try some of that
(what did they call it?)……. oh yeah, sleep.
TTFN,
wayne
Such a technoid!
I still am not hooked up to ETS, ATC and AC sections. Jeff is having problems.
Anyway, sorry to hear about the virus, better it stays in the machine and not
in your body!
Grace
Beijing flu, perhaps?
Hi Grace,
Great to have you here. I was talking with a Kevin Gibson of Digimation the
other day, he mentioned he was talking with you about their videos for 3ds. It
is a good product and should be promoted by the ATC net. At any rate Happy new
year and will be talking to you soon on the other channels.
PAT
Yes, it is nice. I finally get to play. Looking forward to lively
discussions.

Grace,
Imagine meeting you here … it's great to have you online.
As for Wayne, why would be surprised the niether international phone lines (nor
the accompanying bills), nor computer viruses, nor time zones, nor jet lag or
any hint of the need for sleep, would keep him from proving once again that he
IS the #1 technoid and that there is NO audience he can NOT reach!
Milt
Geeez! That's our Wayne!
Grace
Milt,
Are you SURE Wayne doesn't have a sattelite phone uplink in his briefcase?
If Wayne gets on a Safari Bus and then calls us up from the middle of the
Sahara desert, I'm not going to be surprised anymore.<g>

Wayne,
Nice to hear that you're okay. Just thought I'd drop a line and wish you a
happy & healthy New Year. Sorry to hear about the Virus.
Looking foward to wrap-up "First Step" ASAP!
Travel Safe.
