DaveC: yeah, thats the family who built it. rich: haven't been to Edmonchuk since they built it rich: but some buddies seem to have been faitrly impressed DaveC: they showed lots of teens who said they practilly live in the mall. i can believe it. rich: Ron who is on Wednesdays has family there and sometimes visits it DaveC: people live in town, work in the mall and play in the mall. kinda strange.. rich: you have to remember the climate in Edmonton DaveC: very cold! rich: here and in Montreal we have sort of underground cities in the downtown area DaveC: really!

DaveC: i do want to mess with my disk drive, and maybe see if i can go online with my adam, DaveC: there is a local 300 bps bbs still working here. DaveC: which request was that? rich: well, getting the disc drive going should be a major priority rich: the guy who wanted to be added to the list rich: anyway, I wrote back to him telling him how it's done and inviting him onto the chats DaveC: oh! Yes , i remember that. Hey rich! It seems my kid is not sleeping. rich: so darned if he didn't turn up on the chat on Wednesday - that was seriously neat DaveC: i can hear him banging his crib into the wall.
