moved to room Meeting Place Guy B.: Rich Clee couldn't get through and he reminded us in his e-mail to bring a sweater or jacket as it is cool there. Dale: Since I'm running this on my own server, it means that if it goes down it's more my fault than anyone elses. StPeter-Calgary: Create Life...now if I new that I had a chance to create life at AC OC, I would have booked a room and registered Dale: Which is both good and bad, I guess.
changed username to cmurray Guy B.: Hi Murray BobSlopsema: HI MURRAY!!!!! Dale: We are going to learn about Conway's Life, with a new Life simulator programme for the Adam.

HPines: The one with the 4 pin square connector Dale: I'll see her at the Con. That's a good idea. rich: Or is this one of the MI originals? BobSlopsema: Dale, did you ever get that EOS ADAMNET harddrvie unit from Bob Blair???? Dale: Is the drive I gave you one with an edge connector for power? HPines: I have been trying to get these drives to PJ so she can get them to everyone, but I keep missing her. Dale: I've never has a Coleco made disk drive. Dale: Bob, nope. I have talked to Bob Blair in ages. I'm sure he doesn't even know where I live anymore. HPines: Gotta go, got a laptop to repair. emergency
HPines left chat session BobSlopsema: nice to stop in Howard, come back ya hear????? rich: Howard, sorry I got here late. Great to know you're on chats Guy B.: He sure left in a big hurry. Dale: My dish drives were from with Micro Innovations or Trisyd (from IMHR) Dale: I hope to see you Sat evening right here. Dale: (I missed him). rich: How long has this been going on? Dale: What Richard? rich: your chats Dale: I set up the server last September, and have never published the URL until tonight at 9:20pm. Dale: Richard, How does the chat client see to you tonight? rich: No wonder I didn't know about it! Guy B.: It worked out great Dale. Are we using this for Saturday? rich: Don't know quite what you mean by that, Dale Dale: I've use the chat server to talk to John-Paul whom I work with... Dale: and who is teaching us to create life on Friday morning. Dale: Quite a rocking chat tonight. We must remember to promote the chats on the mailing list once a month or something. rich: I never even knew this was here till you called. Did I miss a mailing list posting? Guy B.: We should do that. Good idea. Dale: Yes Guy, this is the one that we'll be using on Saturday. BobSlopsema: announcing late tonight helped a LOT BobSlopsema: just remind the list every wed night at suppertime' rich: Better make sure you tell everyone or they'll all be going to Scott Dale: Yes, I announced it on the mailing list after I determined that Scott's server didn't work. Dale: I had been intending on posting about it earlier but the day got away from me. rich: Like tonight, you mean. But I'd already checked my email for the day Guy B.: Unfortunately, I don't have a modem card for my notebook. So I'll sit in with someone. Bob, I'll come by your room. Dale: If you're bringing a computer consider "freeav" the AltaVista service provider. Find the signup at ... BobSlopsema: gottcha Guy rich: I think I may join from home - that way I can get to bed early enough rich: also it wont hurt to have the big monitor BobSlopsema: you gotta just minimize the mail while online Rich, then it pops thru without doing as specific check Dale: http://www.altavista.com and click on the top bar "Free Internet" and download the "access with microportal" rich: I'm using Eudora and it only comes when called Guy B.: That's what happened with me. rich: actually, I should say that I have my prefs set that way BobSlopsema: AH HA!!!! BobSlopsema: got a FREE srvice Dale.....netzero and a dialup in the same area code as ther hotel BobSlopsema: hope that works rich: when I'm online I don't want some spammer burning up my bandwidth on a long download Dale: netzero is also a good choice. rich: all these freebies have some sort of hidden price Dale: Richard, I get trapped at work all the time because I'm in the habit of checking me email "just before I leave". BobSlopsema: yup, don't use it fro anything but mail, BUT it is free and has a toronto dialup! BobSlopsema: so we can deal with it for a weekend rich: Well, my computer is off most of the time, since it's only online when I'm using it Dale: For traveling, a free internet provider with the banner are worth it. rich: Have to find out more about this on the weekend Guy B.: That would be worth it. Since my ISP doesn't have dialups in all states yet. Dale: Well, AltaVista has free internet almost everywhere in Canada and US. rich: Even if the dialup is in the state, it doesn't mean its in the calling area you're in Dale: They get their access through PSI.net who is one of the largest ISP/master ISPs around. rich: doubt any ISP without an 800 number would be much use if you're camping BobSlopsema: oh, you'd be surprised how many dialups these outfits have Dale: It depends where you camp Rich, but then how much Internet access do you really need while camping. <grin> Guy B.: Well, I'm going to go. I'll see you all tomorrow. I should arrive I hope by 6:00, but will try sooner. rich: Yes, but even phoning locally the range in rural areas is very limited Dale: Bye Guy. BobSlopsema: see ya tomorrow Guy, have a NICE trip in! rich: Guy, if your plane gets in on time with luck you may make it by 5, tho 5.30 is more likely BobSlopsema: we hope to hit the hotel about 4:30-5PM rich: You sure aren't gonna if you go via Detroit Guy B.: Ok, I hope around there. See you all tomorrow. Dale: Hey Richard, if you get "desperate" you can always phone long distance. BobSlopsema: less we have fill the stomach tank too often.........
Guy B. left chat session Dale: Some of the new cell phones let you check and even send email after a fashion. Dale: Bob, what is the MI gas prices? BobSlopsema: Richard, I am the guy your mama warned you about in the traffic lane rich: I still haven't used my cell phone yet though I've had it for years BobSlopsema: gas is down now to about 1.60 US BobSlopsema: yours is about 1.72 or so US BobSlopsema: SO I gas this side!!! rich: Then fill in Port Huron before you cross the border - ours is playing yo-yo rich: today in Toronto it's 70 cents a litre - that's down Dale: It has be bouncing around a lot lately. rich: multiply by 3.8 for a U.S. gallon, then take a third off for US exchange BobSlopsema: I got that written down and stapled to the monitor already! Dale: Still more deneros than MI though. rich: OK - to it add - I will NOT go through Detroit!!!!! BobSlopsema: but I never went that way before!!!!! BobSlopsema: curiousity is killing the cat! rich: Fine - do it going home when being a day or two late won't matter BobSlopsema: may have to......you are painting a HORRIBLE picture! ;-) Dale: Hey, we haven't had anyone bumped tonight! Is that a good omen or a coencidence? rich: You can be all the left lane terror you want, but it won't help if there's an 180wheeler on its side across it BobSlopsema: GUT OMAN!!!!! Seno~r rich: Even coming in from the north side, Detroit is a pain, and when you get down to teh bridge area, there's just too many vehicles - especially trucks BobSlopsema: gotta hit the sack guys and head for Ontario in the AM!!!!! Dale: Well, I thought this was a good chat server. I just like the publicity of the Delphi one. Dale: See ya later Bob. rich: OK - remember - I69 via Lansing and Flint to Port Huron - 402 to London - 401 to Toronto BobSlopsema: tomoorw guys!!!!!! Dale: See you tomorrow! I'm so excited. <grin> BobSlopsema: 40???????? BobSlopsema: ;-) rich: By the way, then the gas you bought in Michigan will last all the way to Toronto rich: And, you'll have the higher Michigan speed limit much longer BobSlopsema: Oh, did the map I sent the list hit the hotel on the head or not????? rich: bingo Dale: And remember when you get to Keele St, turn left (North actually), and the hotel is just past Canadian Tire. BobSlopsema: Jean Stone made me promise to send her directions from the aiport and then Rich D was asking BobSlopsema: so they ALL giot it Dale: The map looked good.

Hope I see him Sat, since... Dale: he has PJ hostage <grin> rich: I'm thinking at the moment of coming over to the hotel around 5, maybe seeing about joining the gang for dinner somewhere Dale: Sounds good. It looks like that's when most will arrive. rich: Given Pj and Michael's standards of organization..... rich: need I say more? Dale: LOL for sure. Dale: Well, this will be Michael's first ever AdamCon to *attend* then. rich: Anyhow, time's getting on. Shall we close it down? rich: I do like your chat, by the way.
