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.

I declare the Apollo Elite StarShip GT at a close.
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
the month to accommodate him as it was, then he does not even show up.
I will get the plaque made up as soon as possible.

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.

At 2:15 a.m. on September 13, 1989, Planet Earth was hit by a mile
sized chunk of meteorite. This impact was like exploding 80,000 hydrogen
bombs, all at once. No one survived. What will be next? Hopefully not the

That was a great GT. Starting at 7pm, it lasted to a little past
1am, and was interesting and the time FLEW right on by. EVERYONE was great
without exception. Ralph got his wish... he got to "Shoot us ALL".....
even if it was only with a camera in a group picture. The 8 by 10 color
glossy of 'HARD CORE' Apollo users will be availible soon. (Less J.T. who
was with us in spirit)
For those of you who were not at the GT... Ask yourself why.

sure. Guess some of it could be here also - the birds - sky - trees - sweet
smelling flowers - loved ones - a bottle of V.O. - a Corvette - computers -
friends - animals - dew in the early morning - a big sparkling lake at
sunset - the smell of a barbeque ................ the list is long.

If the terrorists kill any more hostages:
[A] We should use our military might to punish those involved even if it
means a few innocent civilians get killed.
[B] We should try to step up more talks with the terrorists.
[C] We should give the terrorists weapons or money to try and buy back the
hostages.
[D] We should kidnap a few of their people and hang them when they hang
or kill any of ours. (Eye for an Eye)
