    I have a few print-outs from the olde BLAX-80 days, and a few disks with
    some posts on them.  I didn't do a good job of keeping copies of the
    messages.  It didn't seem important at the time.  I'd sure like to have them
    now, though.

    It was good to see you too.  One of these days we should engage in an
    private electronic discussion.  I say "private" because I don't want Paul
    Savage getting involved with his narrow-minded mindset.

    See you later...

            I will look around and see if I can find a hard plastic cover for
    the new style keyboards.  Did you see the one I had on the BBS keyboard?
    I cut the end so it would 'almost' fit, otherwise it would have stuck up on
    that last row of keys.

    Nick and Dog have just left...  Sandy is asleep and only I roam the board
    at this ungodly hour.
            Thanks Ralph, you finally got your wish to 'Shoot us All'....
    with a camera of course.  I can't wait to see the results.
            The turn out was just great!  A good GT that I really enjoyed.

            For those of you left who have given to the Zagar fund and did not
    get to sign the card... PLEASE contact me on this SOON!

            Thanks Ann for the help in the kitchen... you can prep my burgers
    any time.

            Now, I am off to join Sandy... good night!

    Speaking of James...  where is the dork?  The GT was put off till the end of

    My 'voice pager' went off about 7 this evening.  Burkhart's voice boomed
    through the speaker, "You can't pick your way out of a paper bag."  That was
    all he said and I asssume that he is still in San Diego.  What does this all
    mean?

            I gave Cliff and Sandy a bad check but they won't find out until the
    plaque has been engraved.  I can see it now, my name with a deep scratch
    through it.  But with Cliff's machine shop he could probably make it
    dissapear.  With his gun collection, he could make me vanish.
