    Zmodem is also available for quite a few machines!!!  It doesn't HAVE to be
    available for EVERY computer to be useful, faster, and MORE popular...
    I don't know anyone that uses XMODEM that has ZMODEM...  OR atleast could
    you put on 1K-XMODEM???    Something that is FAST...

    Just like everything else, deviate from the norm to achieve a max result
    will always take from something else.....like accuracy.

    Date: 10/19/88  Time: 08:28:38

    I questioned my husband last night again and he said it DOES have 400 horse
    and also something called a 'Super fuel enjector' - what ever that means.
    Can any one tell me? He also said the car wasn't 'standard' - again, I don't
    know what he means. We watched the ball game last night and I had forgotten
    to ask him all about the car and when I did, he was half asleep and didn't
    want to chit chat. I know I get excellent gas milage - the normal being 28
    MPG with the overdrive and about 12 MPG in traffic. It has passed emissions
    with a breeze. See all of you jealous people later. =+=ANN=+=
    P.S. Nick: - you found something that cost less that $500 for a Vette? Hell.
    I think if I had to replace the stereo knob, it'd cost that much.

    I'd say, taking an educated guess, say that Ann's car from the factory has
    LESS that 250 HP....  It MAY have over 400 ft. lbs of torque, but that is
    also unlikely...  What year is it?  And its a 350 Fuel injected right...

            Well, there is one way to find out.  Get 400 regular size horses,
    connect a cart with a 1000 pound weight, have the horses pull the cart for
    one quarter mile.  NEXT, connect your Vette to the cart, pull it the same
    distance THEN compare times.
            If your Vette made better time then you have more than 400 horse
    power.

    P.S.  If doesn't make any difference what color the horses are even though
    your automobile is white.

    Once again you display your abysmal ignorance, both of the Word of God as
    well as the context and content of the messages on this BBS, to say nothing
    of human nature and other things.
    In the first place, homosexuals are made, not born. If the perversion was
    not of their ow choosing, it could not be called a sexual PREFERENCE, or
    CHOICE. Try looking those words up in your precious Webster's. God created
    man, ALL man, in His own image. If you hold to your story, I would like to
    see how you excuse yourself when you stand before God on that final day of
    judgement and answer for having called Him a queer!
     Secondly, what in the world does that have to do with the recent
    "discussion" concerning my wife? You seem to have succeeded in tying two
    totally unrelated subjects together in your confused little mind, and I'm
    not really sure how to deal with that, since there is no rhyme nor reason to
    your thinking whatsoever. Read your last message over again, and try to read
    it as though somebody else had written it, and maybe you'll see what I mean.
    Finally, you have your record stuck in that stupid "hate" groove, and it's
    really wearing thin. I did NOT call Apollo crap. I doubt that anyone but
    yourself had the shallowness of intellect to make that determination. I was
    referring to the inane, stupid, baseless and ludicrous content of your
    senseless attacks on my character, my family, my beliefs and my God. Attacks
    made in spite of all Ihave said trying to clarify my position. That was not
    an attack on Apollo, unless your ego has become so inflated that you think
    that you are the whole BBS, a possibility that hadn't occurred to me until
    just now. If that be the case, you need more help than I can offer.

    Since when was cockfighting legal in Arizona?
    I think you had better check the record one more time, and I think you will
    find that, although it does go on all too frequently, it is still against
    h law, as is dog fighting.
    Check with the local Animal control. (dog pound).

    JT - Cockfighting comes under the heading of cruelty to animals!

    Paul - I have all my facts stright. Cockfighting is legal in Arizona, but no
    third party betting. There is a cockfighting association in Phoenix that has
    a lot of power. They give to charities and do good deeds - covering up the
    fact of that cruel sport. I don't know the exact numbers at this time - but
    I think Az. is one of four states that it is still legal. The little group
    we are now forming, is not going to stop at just cockfigting it is only a
    start. In fact - a lot of people have pointed out our futility at trying to
    buck the Cockfighting association. Also BTW - they DO use the razor blades
    in the wings! =+=ANN=+=
    P.S. Our first meeting is tonight. If your interested, I'll post more
    details tomorrow.

    believing in God and the son Jesus Christ is called a "CHRISTIAN"...
    Christians SIN.....   That does not mean they are not Christians, but just
    Sinning Christians.   Can that sink in to your thick skull Paul?

            As I recall your other Church (a few years ago could say no wrong)
    then one day after a sad event, they said something you did not agree

    I disapprove of cockfighting, but I think it is a matter of personal choice.
    What people do with their own chickens -- broil 'em, fry 'em, or use 'em in
    a cockfight -- is their own business, and the government has no business
    intruding in this personal matter.  Chickens are not part of the moral
    community and thus have no rights.

    On the other hand, I do not approve of the killing of unborn children, and I
    find your view, that unborn children are not worthy of legal protection
    while chickens are, puzzling to say the least.

      The jury in a Louisville, Kentucky, case went "a little bit
    far," according to a judge in the Jefferson Circuit Court.
    When a jury recommended a sentence of 5,005 years for a man
    convicted of five robberies and kidnapping, Judge Edmund
    Karem rectified the situation by reducing the sentence to
    1,001 years.  *Chicago Tribune*

      According to Pat Kelly of the United Steelworkers of
    America, four of its members were fired from their jobs at
    the Rocky Flats facility in Golden, Colorado, "after engaging
    in a water fight and other horseplay during the night shift."
      Denver's *Rocky Mountain News* reported that after the
    water fight, three of the men bound the fourth with plastic
    tape.  "The workers bound their comrade 'mummy style' and
    were about to hoist him up a crane when they were caught by a
    supervisor."
      Rocky Flats is operated for the U.S. Department of Energy
    by Rockwell International and manufactures plutonium triggers
    for nuclear weapons.

      According to a "Food Inspection Results" report in the
    *New York Times*, Manhattan's Pussycat Lounge was cited for
    "cats on premises."

      In Arlington, Virginia, a woman awoke to find a man, Pedro
    Gomez, raping her.  According to the police report, she
    yelled, woke her husband, who was sleeping next to her, then
    restrained her husband from chasing Gomez as he fled through
    an open window.
      Gomez, who had to climb down a ladder to reach the street,
    realized he had forgotten his pants and yelled to the husband
    to throw them down.  The husband refused.  Police arrested
    Gomez near the ladder moments later.  *Fairfax Journal*

      Thomas Winfrey of Hillsboro, Missouri, robbed tavern
    patrons at gunpoint but, once outside, couldn't find his
    car keys for the getaway.  He stripped and reentered the bar.
    Winfrey disguised his voice, claiming to be a robbery victim
    and asking for help, but this did not prevent his victims
    from identifying him.  *(New York) Daily News*

      Gasoline fumes got inside the pants of James J. Wawrzyniak

    WHere did the proof come from concerning GAYS are BORN gay ?

    The bible lists it as a Perversion. Looking at perversion in WEBSTERS,
    we read that it is an abnormal form, used in the biblical context it
    relates to being led away, corrupting , deviating from natural or true.

    Funny, if they can prove someone is gay at the moment of birth, they oughtta
    be able to tell if their also ;
    Extreemly intelligent, extreemly dim, imaginitive, an artist, a metal worker
    or a heavy metal fan, an animal lover or a martial arts expert.

    Amazing

            The book you are referring to is so outdated it ain't even funny.
    Try a modern medical book not some sick, sadistic, ambigous, book.  Isn't it
    time you laid the fairy tales down and joined the real world?

            Now, if you really want to see something cruel, go visit a chicken
    ranch.  I did and all I wanted to do was throw up and never eat another egg.
            At least the cocks are better groomed and have some freedom.  My
    first chicken kill was to put the head under a shovel and pull.  The head
    came off, the chicken flew around for a few seconds then we cleaned and ate
    the bird.  What is a compasionate way to kill?  How about getting the
    bird stoned to death?
            Actually, our entire chicken scheme represents cruel and unusual
    punishment.  Originally they were your basic jungle birds.  Crews on ships
    would put them in small cages and carry them for food and over the years,
    being out of the sun and penned up, they lost their beautiful colors and
    their ability to fly as they gained weight, were fattened up for the kill.
            This is just not a kind world, especially when it comes to food.
    Everything eats something, it is a cycle.  Someday I will be eaten.

            Hmmmm  Interesting thought there...  At least you post it nice with
    out calling me names... I appreciate that.  Anyways, I will have to study
    this more...  Seems I keep reading that our scientists say it is more like a
    disease and maybe they are wrong, but what if they are right?  If they are,
    maybe some day having CANCER will be UN-Christian like....  Oh my!  I think
    I will have to get a GREEK Bible and try the translation myself...as
    people I respect seem to understand it differantly.

            Another meaning of "Christian" is "Christ Like" and NONE of us fit
    that... maybe there are NO true Christians, but just a bunch of humans
    trying the best we can...with flaws and sins.

    May God guide you down the correct path..... PEACE!

            Remember the Inquisition and all the evil doings of our early
    ancestors.  Even today when anyone writes a book, there are errors and
    misunderstandings.  A person can hardly leave a message on Apollo that can
    be understood in its full context.  Even when a scientific book is published
    it is already outdated.
            What about the bible.....shouldn't it be properly called the babel?
    If a god did indeed inspire it, It sure must have wanted to confuse the hell
    out of us because it has more ways to read it than there are books in the
    Library of Congress.
            Of course, if it were inspired by a god then I guess that would
    follow suit, everything in this world is so screwed up, it also should be.

            The right handed tradition of hand-shaking has been around a long
    while.  Early man would gesture with that hand because the majority of the
    people were left-brain dominated and their right hand was their weapon hand.

            Needless to say, it is a stupid tradition just as wearing a tie
    (brain tourniquet, by Apro Poet).  These days more people are awakening from
    the giant sleep and are becoming more ambidetrous.  We are learning to use
    both sides of our brain on more or less an equal basis.

            Primiary left or right brain based people have a mild disease in a
    sense.  In nursing homes there are people who totally deny either one side
    or the other (usually they deny their left) and consequently they leave
    everything on the left (or right) side of their food plates alone.  They
    limp around, totally supporting their 'dead' side because in their mind it
    doesn't exist.

            I am an iconoclast and I break STUPID, meaningless traditions and
    shaking hands with the right is just one of them.

            I came up with "Satan shakes with the left", only because some damn
    fool Christian that I met a while back refused to shake with me lefthanded
    because he thought that Satan did it that way.  What a fucking joke.
            In any case, I love you guys.  A family within a family.  Even
    though you all are gross and unwashed I still care.

            To clarify a point.....early man offered his weapon hand to show
    that he was not carrying his weapon....an act of peace.
            I use both hands because it is hard to find a good locksmith helper
    so I hired the right side of my brain to help the left side.  You do not see
    me making a key by leaving an arm dangeling, doing nothing.
            By the way, if one side of the body is weaker than the other (and it
    usually is that way) then that side will get sick or tired first.

    many peoples hands and he was using both in order to get to as many people
    as possible.  You just happened to be nearer his left, right?
