125     He saw her coming. On the main deck of the ship, making ready for
126 planetfall, she came. The crowded deck filled with pilgrims and crew, a
127 bustle of prepatory activity. He waited. Feeling something. Not knowing
128 what. Her look. An aura. She was closer. He stood still. His body was
129 weightless. A cast for emotion and feeling. And she came to him.
130     Their hands clasp. Her touch. Fire beyond anything felt before. He knew.
131 This time was not before. It was new. It was now. He tightened. Her eyes
132 widened. A smile. Wrinkles of joy erupted. A laugh. She drew his hands
133 forward. He could walk again. He stumbled, but he held fast. He did not
134 fall. He was still weightless. She looked up into his eyes. Eyes never
135 blinking. He dove in her eyes. The wonder of her face, those eyes, the
136 smile, radiance.
137      The come closer still. Her knee and his shin. Thighs. Body to body.
138 A kiss. Eyes closed. Bright lights. Flashes. He floated now. Her breathing
139 filled his ears. Her hungry mouth filled his thoughts. They clung to and
140 on each other. One moment. A feeling, deep, understanding, borne and
141 shared by both. She squeezed him. Her arms wrapped around her waist. She
142 pulled back, slowly, unwrapping. Opened eyes, she looked into him. He into
143 her. She stepped back. He was frozen. She held his hands. Longing. She
144 let go. A smile.
145      She turned to go. Looking back, golden hair falling softly on her
146 shoulder, she whispered, "Yes."
147      He stood there for a moment, watching her walking through the crowds
148 in the hall. Parting humanity, so natural for her, he thought. She said
149 yes. Wonderful word yes. Yes means so much. Yes, I am alive.
150      Another claxon. One thousand eyes look upward. Red lights. He knew
151 what it meant. He had overheard two crewmen describing the Alert System.
152 She was not visible now. Everyone was scrambling. Crew pushed through to
153 their stations. He pushed too. Yes, he had to find her.

182 is determined by terminal setup. Mine is currently 'dim').
183 I have a few problems with some of the files due to 'handshaking' foul-ups.

194      She walks down the sidewalk a smile caressing her lips.  She is happy 
195 and oblivious to the torrmented worlds of those she passes by.  Her hand 
196 clasps his in a firm familar style, swinging in time to her step.  The joy 
197 of being alive and the happiness she feels glows like an auroa about her. 
198      The lonely people with their misserable lives she passes shink back 
199 against the wall. They throw their hands up to hide from the brilliance of 
200 the joy she eminates. 
201      I knew her, and I was one of those who hide at the side. Her joy was 
202 my missery.  I use to be the one at her side.  It use to be me who's hand 
203 she held. It was I who she graced with that smile.  Now I am on the 
204 outside.  I am a grain of sand, alone in the faceless crowd. 
205      It was dark out and rain pelted at the window.  The street lamps shown 
206 in fragmented streams on the pavement.  The distant wail of a train was 
207 overridden by the clock striking the hour of three in the morning. 
208      I let the curtain fall back over the window and lay back down on my 
209 bed.  The dream had come again.

322 as sortes of European/Christian fighter/bombers unloaded their cargo in the

334 I'm sick and tired of all these Backwater peoples groaning about what a waste
335 of space this is and what a waste of space that is.  Does it really annoy you
336 so much that you have to bitch???  Case in point: Darbon's entry above.
337 This Darbon character makes me sick too.  He tries to keep up this facade of
338 being an old-timer, experienced veteran, been-through-the-wars-of-
339 telecommunication, know-it-all-about-BWMS jerk.  But isn't that what Backwater
340 is all about; seeing who can seem most superior to everyone else?  Look, Darbon
341 you may consider yourself an old-timer, but I *know* I've been on Backwater
342 a much longer time than you have (several years), so don't be trying to impress
343 me with this condescending whattawaste and I'm a veteran attitude.  I've heard
344 it so many times before here (Yes, *I* am a veteran) that I've had enough.
345 I hope everybody realizes that I've just singled Darbon out.  There are many,
346 many more 'patrons' of the Inn whose my comments also apply to.  If you feel
347 like flaming me for my bad punctuation, choice of words, etc... don't bother.
348 I freely admit it is bad in this yet another piece of trash on the compost heap.

506 JOHNSON: JUST A BIT OF ADVICE: NEVER, NEVER MENTION 8-BIT MACHINE ON
507          THIS BOARD. IT IS A SACRILIGE TO SOME OLDTIMERS HERE. 8-BIT
508          MACHINES MAKE THEM THROW UP. THOSE RICH ITTY BITTY KIDS!!!
509          GOOSH!                     GOOSH.

513 INSTRUCTIONS INSTRUCTIONS INSTRUCTIONS INSTRUCTIONS INSTRUCTIONS INSTRUCTIONS
514 	First of all, you take your Apple //c and use either the puree or the
515 spin cycle on it for nearly an hour. Try to clean the bits of plastic and
516 Malaysian high-tech out of the plastic parts or the metal bin. Be sure not to
517 leave an electrical charge working at any stage!
518 	Then, go to father. Tell him a story. A long one. All about a decent
519 kid who tried to do his laundry and homework in one shot. Make it a good one
520 so that he will reward you with an IBM PC AT or a prototype AT&T 3B series
521 computer. Thank him, just for loving you.
522 	Take the IBM PC AT and offer to balance vthe check-books of several
523 rich Portland area women. Primarily from the Dunthorp area. Either embezzle
524 or black-mail your way into several hundreds of thousands of dollars.
525 Don't worry any about your conscience! The aristocracy has enough money from
526 Pacific Rim investments and Opium sales that the strength of the Illuminati
527 will not be in question.
528 	Next, purchase the Cray company. It might be tough, but arrange
529 through the area hospitals of the Cray installations to change the routine
530 dosages for unhealthy workers to a highly addictive narcotic of your choice.
531 This is where the power of the IBM PC AT shines through. Your skills at the
532 world of modems and strange user interfaces is vital! This will be tough, but
533 once you've cleared this hurtle, see to the installation of the newest model
534 of the Cray computers. In your bedroom maybe.
535 	Port ProDOS and BASIC to the Cray. This might seem a little idiotic at
536 first, but don't worry. No one is foolish enough to criticize you at this
537 stage of the game. If they are, addict them to the same narcotic you used on
538 the executives at Cray. If they happen to be skilled programmers, their
539 addiction will help you do the file conversion you asked about.
540 	Hope to have been of some help,
541 
542 	Le Marquis de Sade.

546 Le Marquis, your entry was a bit rough in places, but I and others were laughing
547 most all the way though. I especially like the porting of Applesoft to the Cray.
548 Watch those 'hurtles' (sic) though.

552 Leonard: DIM terminals? I love it. And *****'s comment too. Now what's this about misplaced Model 100s? I am not sur-
553 prised about the lack of color on the VT100. How does your termcap on percival work? Have you tried 'vi' yet?
554 Shawn: Good work. I'll bring a source code listing to PSU. When/where can we meet? Any chance of you getting to the
555 PCS meeting Thursday? I could put up sources on the VAX and mail them to the Power Node if you wish.
556 Voyeur: You are living up to your name. We have missed you! Can you make it to the meeting Thursday?
557 Friar: Risk in the future sounds good, but we must have Vile Orange Liquid if we are to play. I'll contact Alex and let
558 him know a game is in the works. Do you have a set of the nuclear option rules? I can make you a printout if you don't.

596 Why would we be upset at you for mentioning 8-bit machines? *BACKWATER* is
597 an 8-bit machine (w 8k of ROM & 1k of RAM). This board *is* the operating
598 system.
599 The objections tend to be to C-64, Apple, & Atari 'users'. Due to the low
600 prices those machines tend to belong to types that barely know how to call
601 a BBS, much less program! Those are also the people who think that 'trash-
602 ing' a board makes them a 'hacker' (and thus due respect). 
603 If you are even thinking about board or chip level trouble shooting of your
604 system, you aren't one of the idiots we flame so often. (of course you
605 *still* might be ill-mannered, but for some strange reason few people who
606 can really use these machines seem to be all that immature)
