Telekomunikasi > Indonesia, Tbk -- presumably you. Yes, that's me. I use a free ISP from Telkom. The good things about a free ISP is that, it's free and you don't have to subscribe. All you need is just a working telephone line and the bill is included in the monthly phone bill. The bad thing is that, slow connection and errors...:-) Luckily, my Linux is able to 'penetrate' the hindrances and shows the various DNS when I'm logging in. > If there is another Indonesian on this list he or > she hasn't looked at the > SimplePleasures images. Or maybe he had unsubscribed because I found it in the archive when the mail list was still very young. It was in 1996 and the topic is about the chance of Basia singing in Olympic Games. > I'll spare everyone the hostnames (PTR records if > you speak DNS) but a few > things caught my eye: > > - most people viewed the images from an ISP which > *usually* means not from work > (or simply from a smaller company that uses NAT > with their ISP). > - we have Basia fans within Harley Davidson and the > United States Marine Corp Harley Davidson?

Cayman Islands? What a surprise! I never thought that Basia could reach that area.

Actually, I'm still looking for the info about our member from Finland, that music professor or something like that. Hope I can find him/her (I think it would be 'her', from the name). BTW, what is your name? Desianto F. W. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!

Whoa! > ================== If you really like vegetables and fruits very much (like I do), you don't need spending much money to live here in Indonesia. Just pick them from my own small yard and cook/eat them...:-) You don't even need fertilizers, thanks to the fertile soil. But if you like meat, surely you need more money...:-) So, what's the money for? Well, I use it to buy eggs, spices, and pay the monthly expenses. Even right now, the mango tree next to my room is full of fruit. Want some?....:-D FYI, I have friends from America - a long time ago. They came to Indonesia and 'didn't want to go back' to America because they really love the food...:-) But now, I don't know where they are because we lost contact years ago.... Desianto F.
