And one of the real reasons for this I think was that most people who were on-line were adults or very intellegent teens. Before 1984 computers were very expensive and frivolous periferals like modems were priced out of the range of most kids. My first modem was a VIC-Modem. 300 baud, no upload, no download, no autodial/auto answer. But it came with a big white rotary Commodore phone which I still have to this day. And at 300 baud I could look down upon the 110 baud users with contempt. The damn thing cost me 300. And on top of the high price of periferals, computers were a lot harder to use before 1984. Now adays all of us know people who are able to function well enough on their computers yet they are absolute idiots. Before 1984 you had to have a certain level of intellegence to be able to get a computer to do a lot of things we take for granted now adays. When I first came on-line with my C-64, I had to write my own terminal software because there was nothing out there that would do what I wanted. It was also like that for many applications. If you needed a programme to do something chances were you'd have to write the programme yourself. So the people who were able to get online tended to be rather intellegent. Now adays every kid and moron has access to a computer and knows how to use it well enough to at least get on-line and run amok. I've noticed that right after X-mas there's always a huge flood of immature kids on the BBSs whose parents just bought them a modem or computer for X-mas. They storm onto the BBSs with no idea of what the proper social behaviour and structure of this new world is and they basically make such asses of themselves that they end up having to find a new BBS to hang out on. Some of the most annoying of the lot are kids who think that Hollywood's depictions of the world on-line are the reality of it. God damn the man who wrote the script for the movie Hackers. ~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~ >(And he really liked this musician that his dad introduced him to, some >fellow by the name of "Thomas Dolby", and he went on about him and on >about him, and finally sent me a tape with a handful of songs copied to >it..

Even still, Beena and I are both continuing our education and one of us will be busy studying for an upcomming exam when the other rather playfully suggests we study "biology" instead. Beena and I laughed our ass off when Chief O'Brien used the same line on Keiko on DS-9. Incidently, Chief O'Brien is also my favorite Star Trek character ever. Having served in my country's military as an enlisted man, it's refreshing to see a main character in ST that's not an officer (judging from Star Trek one might make the conclusion that interesting things only happen to officers when in fact it is usually quite the opposite). I also enjoy seeing a main character who is devoted to his wife and children. It seems if TV wants to have a main character that has children they always make the character a widow/widower so they can still have that character sleep around with a new babe every sweeps week. It's nice to see a Sci-Fi show that has at least one married family man on it. I'm also rather fond of Gregory MacDonald's Flynn books (he's the guy who wrote the Fletch books which the movies were very loosly based on). Flynn is a secret agent who has a loving wife and five kids and manages to carry out his missions without ever sleeping around. There should be more action/adventure/sci-fi/fantasy role models for married family men.

He was the Sysop and I was a User. We went to a group meet & greet on April 9th 1989, and the rest is history. He now owns his own ISP with about 3000 customers, so I guess you could say he was self-taught!

But it seemed a pretty good-natured dig, particularly since Thomas has clearly devoted most of his time to things other than acting, judging by the quality of his music and his success as a CEO. Speaking of which, I was kind of surprised that they never mentioned Headspace anywhere in the "popped" video. However, maybe I shouldn't be. Last year, VH1 showed an interview with Thomas as part of some "Where are they now?" program (ugh). It seemed pretty clear from the way they introduced and edited the interview that they had absolutely no idea what Headspace was about. As a matter of fact, they credited Headspace the company, not Thomas the musician, with providing the music for "Gate to the Mind's Eye." Sheesh.

I think there were enough differences to prevent us being sued by the makers of 'Gregory's Girl.' Reading all these stories, it's surprising how many of them DO make entertaining reading. I've seen many films with less interesting plots and a few that WERE on a par with Greg's Girl (e.g. 'About Last Night,' or 'Pretty In Pink.'............ MMMMMmmmmmmmm, Mary Stuart Masterson with that boyish haircut ....WHAT AM I SAYING? Expunge that from the record, if you please.) Slarv. P.S.

I'm just curious, how often to any of you hear Thomas on the radio? I listen to a very cool radio station here in Denver (KTCL 93.3 http://www.ktcl.com) that can be heard playing "I Love You Goodbye" and some other A&H songs now and then. I have also heard "Budapest by Blimp" on there before. I don't think they play "Science" however. - -- Keith Stansell Denver, CO __________________________________________________ http://www.concentric.net/~kasman ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 04 Feb 1998 23:52:44 -0800 From: Eclipse Subject: Re: Alloy: Misc Keith Stansell wrote: > > So... > > I'm just curious, how often to any of you hear Thomas on the radio? > > I listen to a very cool radio station here in Denver (KTCL 93.3 > http://www.ktcl.com) that can be heard playing "I Love You Goodbye" and > some other A&H songs now and then.

I didn't think anyone played A&H tracks, except occasionally "Eastern Bloc"...the whole album in general is in my opinion his best stuff, and seemingly the least popular. "Budapest..." is a rather similar style, too... I don't listen to the radio, but when I listened to 80s mixes fairly often, I heard "Blinded.." a lot (duhhh...).. the only other time I've - -ever- heard a TMDR song anywhere but from my CD-player/tapedeck was once when they played "Hyperactive". -- E(lipse ------------------------------ End of alloy-digest V3 #33 **************************
