Well, not really, but I used Google Earth to zoom in on the Flatiron
Building. You can get so close you can see the utilities on the roof, the hydrants on the street, the little parkish area across 5th Avenue, etc etc. Cool! Now tell me where your office is (like where is Peter's window, what floor and facing what street). Google Earth lets you zoom in all directions so I'll be able to turn the map to see that window. Silly I know but still a connection on some level. Pats looked good but not great last night. I didn't watch much more of the game. I'm not sold on that USC guy as our ONLY back-up QB. I think maybe their plan is to go with two and then see who's cut loose as the season approaches/progresses. The defense looked good, although they may be a little weak against runs up the middle. Mom and I are thinking about coming to NYC the third weekend in September (15-18). Just in the contemplation stage but do you know about your availability that weekend? TTFN (from WtP) -- Dad |

When did Mom get paroled? I'll be in town Saturday and Sunday, but I'm heading to DC for the day on Monday. I might stay overnight, in which case we could all have dinner perhaps. So I guess those sores cleared up, aye? A_C |

I don't know how to write a simple email to my kid without posting it to a newsgroup! Oops. WC |

Suggestion, Use Outlook Express for the express purpose of reading
newsgroups- no e-mail. "Agent_C" wrote in message ... On Fri, 01 Sep 2006 14:11:09 -0400, WCH wrote: Well, I guess I have one MORE problem with Outlook! User-Agent: Thunderbird 1.5.0.5 (Windows/20060719) I can't imagine why, as you're clearly using Thunderbird, not Outlook. A_C |

I find Outlook perfectly satisfactory, and I've been playing with the Net since it got going properly in about 1984. Nonetheless, obviously a ng is the wrong medium for a private email chat! |

I've just checked my psyche for emotional scarring, and I am relieved to see that I've apparently surived this universal ridicule unscathed. Whew!

And yes, Forte Agent can be great. So can other newsreaders. Anyway, pax. It's just a newsgroup thread; no kittens were harmed. A_C |

I've been using OE for newgroup posting for years, making me a "USENET veteran". Not once have I ever been ridiculed for using it, because it fulfills the purpose nicely. I do use other newsreaders as well for a few groups because they suit the purposes of those groups better, but for most groups, OE does the job with little fuss. Your prejudices are showing. -- Brian Tillman |

Totally agreed. OE is fine and I was a *very* early Internet exponent (back
