rich-c: test
moved to room Meeting Place
changed username to George
rich-c: good evening george
George: Hi Rich
rich-c: just beginning to wonder where everyone was
rich-c: especially since no one showed up at all Saturday
George: my main computer died and this one had a harddisk failure
rich-c: what did your main computer die of?
George: i don't know i turned the power on and the power lite lit briefly and went out
rich-c: any other symptoms? blue smoke? banging noises?
George: and there was no activity
moved to room Meeting Place
changed username to Dr.D.
rich-c: hi Rich
Dr.D.: Hello.
rich-c: George is just describing his computer failures for me
George: i had to use the western digital tools to repair the harddisk on this computer
rich-c: I gather then that the harddisc had a software failure of some kind
Dr.D.: I'm just stopping by briefly on my way to bed...another long day.
rich-c: up too early or to bed too late?
George: i lost capacity
Dr.D.: A bit of both...
George: Hi Dr D
rich-c: a lot of sectors gone bad, George?
Dr.D.: Hi George.
Dr.D.: 5 AM up this morning, 1 AM to bed last night.
George: it appears so
rich-c: that does not allow an adequate amount of sleep, Rich
Dr.D.: I know it...
rich-c: any apparent reason for the disc failure, George?
Dr.D.: It will be crazy again this week as I get ready for another lab seminar I have to give next Wednesday.
George: there was some physical damage to the drive reported by the program
rich-c: yes, the teaching is a breeze, takes no time at all - but the preparation....
rich-c: head crash perhaps, George?
Dr.D.: Still have a slug experiment to pull off successfully either tomorrow or Friday, to generate some data I need in order to complete the presentation. Lots of technical problems this week.
Dr.D.: I wonder where the rest of the Usual Gang of Idiots is tonight?
rich-c: and while they are simple they take hours of donkey work to solve, right?
George: i'm not sure i'll have to wait and see if anymore damage occurs
Dr.D.: (You know the MAD Magazine ref in that, I hope.)
Dr.D.: Yes about long hours troubleshooting.
rich-c: oh, I was one of the 'early adopters' when it came to Mad magazine
Dr.D.: Trying to get 3 video cameras perfectly aligned at mutual right angles.
rich-c: I think I gave them up around their 25th anniversary issue
Dr.D.: Plus finding storage space for 30 GB of video data for each 1-hour experiment.
Dr.D.: It has been observed that MAD is funniest for whatever it was when a given person started reading it, and it's no good after that :-)
rich-c: well, 30-gig hard discs are cheap and easy to come by these days
George: i never read MAD
George: or many comics
rich-c: well I would tell you, George, that after the first 25 years they started to wear out their themes - too much been there, done that
moved to room Meeting Place
Dr.D.: Daniel or Fred?
rich-c: but then you two were too young to remember Pogo, or Li'l Abner
Dr.D.: Place your bets!
rich-c: I'll bet Daniel
changed username to yt8ty
yt8ty: greetings all.
George: they got too old to fast
Dr.D.: Nope, just remember the tail end of Pogo in our papers, and Li'l Abner survived in the Youngstown Vindicator until the mid-70s.
rich-c: now who is yt8ty?
yt8ty: JeFFREy is helping typ2e5
Dr.D.: I think our paper carried both strips until the artists died.
George: huh?
rich-c: ah, OK Jill, welcome
Dr.D.: I thought it was one of those L33t d00dz
rich-c: glad to see you're getting him started early
rich-c: Georege, Pogo was a strip of highly pointed political commentary; Li'l Abner could be quite satirical
yt8ty: It's more that he can't stand to see either of us concentrating on something without helping....
yt8ty: He's kind of like a cat that way.
yt8ty changed username to Jillian
George: Hi Jillian
rich-c: yes, put on your music program and he'll offer "Kitten on the keys"
Dr.D.: Walt Kelly and Al Capp, respectively, right?
rich-c: you have it, Dr. D., as usual
Jillian: How goes it for everyone? Anything exciting happening?
Dr.D.: I always liked Capp's Dick Tracy parody, Fearless Fosdick :-)
rich-c: I still have a couple of the vintage Pogo books
rich-c: depends on your definition of exciting, Jill
Dr.D.: Me has completed v0.99 of the ADAM schematics webpage. Now all the restoration work (hard) begins...
rich-c: George has had one computer die and teh hardd disc crash on another
George: i had a disaster
Dr.D.: Gotta look at the BMP2PP program to make some Christmas cards for Ron, after all these years of me meaning to do it and never doing so.
George: what a bad time for this
Dr.D.: Cooking corned beef and cabbage right now for a potluck dinner tomorrow at the elementary school.
rich-c: I still cant get or keep the Adam emulator running on my machine
Jillian: My computer died a while back and we just got a new power supply this week. I'm looking forward to having my bill payment system back.
George: thats what i need to do
Dr.D.: Christina is finishing week 2 of driver's ed and will be behind the wheel of our Voyager for the first time this weekend.
rich-c: hope when your power supply died it didnt take anything else with it
rich-c: that is a very difficult time in a parent's life, Rich
Dr.D.: The Film Society is showing Powerpuff Girls on Friday, to which we're all going...Saturday afternoon will be Harry Potter 2.
Jillian: bcs1e1q me too rich.
rich-c: where are you taking her to practice?
Dr.D.: For starters the biiiiig parking lot at the mostly-abandoned mall just up the street from us.
rich-c: good thought - I used to favour indutrial areas on Sunday for Frances and Pamela
Dr.D.: After that, probably simple residential streets with 25 MPH speed limit in not much traffic.
Jillian: I hope to head for a driving test on Friday this week. My favorite time to practice driving is after about 9pm and later.
Dr.D.: I thought Frances didn't drive?
Dr.D.: You don't drive, Jill?
rich-c: she doesnt have a licence so doesnt get behind the wheel but could do teh basics in an emergency
George: my doctor won't let me drive
Dr.D.: Strain on your back or something, George?
Jillian: I had a learner's permit when I was a teen and was wayyyyy too nervous to be safe, so I let it go for 15 years or so
rich-c: reminds me, George, last week there was a report of a new therapy being developed for Crohn's disease
George: too many meds
Jillian: I got another learner's about 2 years ago.
Dr.D.: Ahh, yes, too many meds and driving can be a bad combo.
rich-c: depending on which they are. sometimes any meds can be a bad combo
Jillian: Friday I hope to go for my level one test, then I'll be able to drive alone on streets w0ith2
rich-c: I have bewen having great fun on the roads this week
Dr.D.: No snow yet I hope! Just some rain here.
rich-c: the truck is in for teh new engine so I am driving the car
Jillian: on streets wioth liimits of 80 opr less.
George: they come up with new therapies every couple of years i don't get my hopes up

rich-c: I was going to mention it to you Saturday but by now it is likely off the news sites
Medusa: hi all
rich-c: hello Erin
rich-c: Pamela likely wont show till after 10 - West Wing, you know
Jillian: can't hide behind strange nicks here, 'rin
George: Hi dusa
Dr.D.: Snaky lady, howdy-do?
Medusa: i'm not hiding it's just me
moved to room Meeting Place
rich-c: anyway Jill just remember the basic rule of driving
changed username to BobS
Medusa: Hi George
Medusa: Hi Dr. D
BobS: HEY
rich-c: use caution, care and courtesty, and when all else fails, hit something cheap
BobS: whatcha all doin?????
Dr.D.: Und jetzt der geehrte Herr Slopsema!
George: Hi Bob
Medusa: Dr.D did u get me email
BobS: Yavool, ich bin here !!!!!
rich-c: well, the Robert has put in his belated appearance
Dr.D.: Yes I did...glad you found the post interesting.
Jillian: compared to alot of the crazy people on the roads today, i'm a pretty good driver.
BobS: vas busy goofin offski
BobS: how's it goin Jill????????
Jillian: ok. getting stressed about going back to work though
Dr.D.: Machen mit der aufgegoofen, ist viel Spass, natŸrlich.
George: watch out when i try to drive
rich-c: I go by results - after half a century with no at-fault accidents and no moving violations, I figure I'm passably competent
Dr.D.: Rats, it ate my u-umlaut there...
BobS: Hi George, Richard, Jill, Erin, Dr d
Medusa: Hi Bob
George: what happened?
BobS: too much Deutch fer me there Rich
rich-c: I keep telling you, Rich, get Daniel to ship you a French keyboard
Dr.D.: It's made up deutch, "goofing off" I turned into aufgegoofen.
rich-c: it has umlauts and tildes and working circumflexes and all sorts of neat stuff
BobS: ahso!!!!
Dr.D.: And natu"rlich is naturally.
BobS: you nasty junga
Dr.D.: Ja ich bin ein nasty Kerl.
George: ENGLISH! ENGLISH! ENGLISH!
Dr.D.: "Yes I am a nasty brat"
BobS: ya dat too, eh??????
rich-c: most of it is English, George, just fiddled with a bit
BobS: sprechen si duetch, Geo??????
George: what?
Dr.D.: Ernie Kovacs used to do some hilarious fake German stuff.
BobS: nicht wahr, eh????
George: huh?
BobS: so, what did I miss by being late????
Dr.D.: We found a solution for peace in the Middle East, but the server crashed and nobody can remember what we typed.
Medusa: LOLOLOLOLOLOL
Jillian: I wish, Dr. D.
Dr.D.: I think it had something to do with dancing redheads without veils...
George: server crashed?
BobS: a solution......IGNORE the suckers and maybe they will kill each other!!!!!
Medusa: of course it did....how else would we distract them
rich-c: it was trying to solve the problem of absolute precision alignment in three dimensions
Dr.D.: And Mme. Medusa was just about to volunteer to lead the brigade...
Medusa: anything for World peace
Dr.D.: Now this is sounding like a lost verse of "American Pie"...
Medusa: LOL
BobS: well......what do you expect from a leader who when retreating, lights fires so the incoming troups can roast their marshmellows
rich-c: now you've lost me - if it postdates Glenn Miller, I haven't heard it
George: ????????????????????????????????????????
Medusa: it's ok George
George: what about Elvis?
Dr.D.: A famous song about the history of rock'n'roll up to 1972...but couched in very obscure metaphors, almost like a Sybil's prophesies.
BobS: Elvis Grebak??????
BobS: hims
Dr.D.: hahaha
George: I seen him the other day
rich-c: anyway looks like Dubya has a big problem coming - looks like Saddam is going to cave
Jillian changed username to Jillian-brb
Jillian-brb: brb
Dr.D.: Hey, Jeffrey's first words!
BobS: a quarterback.......actually, not a 1/4 backside.....but a guy who throws a little wienie shaped ball at someone running like heck away from another guy
Dr.D.: So Bob, have you looked at any of the schematics I've posted?
George: i'd rather have a Big Mac
BobS: saw that in the paper tonight Richard........talk is that they will let the inspectors in
BobS: not too close, besides, I can't read elevtrical diagrams anyway
BobS: but wht I glanced at looked official
George: NO WAR WITH IRAQ
rich-c: well he sent his kid to Parliament to speak in favour of the UN resolution
BobS: wished I could make heads or tails out of the diagrams'maybe I could fiddle with some of the stuff I go here......TIME is the biggest problem
Dr.D.: I was asking just in case you happened to have better copies than the ones I was working with...or some additional new schematics.
rich-c: yes, maybe next Adamcon we can get someone to give us a seminar on Schematics 101
Dr.D.: Dale already did at XIII, remember?
George: it's hopeless
Medusa: there is always hope George
rich-c: I have a book on it too but neither is much enduring help
BobS: will have to investigate them then, eh????
Dr.D.: I'm tryin' to get HLM-GMK to go through their pile of Orphanware stuff...I can't believe BJ didn't leave them with some goodies.
BobS: have some rather detailed pages of specs....bout 15x30 inches......but you can tell that some are bad genereation copies
rich-c: anyway, Dale was just dealing with logic circuits and Boolean algebra - not much help with loose wires :-)
Dr.D.: I'm also looking to postpone having to do the final cleanup on them...it took me 2 months to do the disk drive controller, and that one wasn't so bad...the game board is horrible, I'll have to take an ADAM apart to check the connections.
rich-c: they're still useful, Bob, they may be clear in an area where an otherwise better copy is blurred
rich-c: take a Colecovision apart instead, they'rte more easily expendable
Dr.D.: Yes. I had decided early on that Richard's copies were so much better than the ones in The Hacker's Guide to ADAM Volume II that I wasn't going to bother scanning the latter ones...*but* one of Richard's was missing about a quarter inch of the whole right margin, and I picked it up from the Hacker's Guide copy.
Dr.D.: Similarly for 2 of the tape drive schematics, I had "duplicate" photocopies that were centered differently, such that each was missing something, but putting them all together, you got the whole drawing back.
rich-c: I could likely find a dead Adam or two to expend if you just wanted to rip wires out to see whre they go
Dr.D.: What I'd like to do is see if I can figure out what the magical U7 chip really does...when you sit looking at the schematics and cleaning them up, you start to pay attention to them...and I *think* I might be able to make some good guesses. Good enough to maybe build some test circuits to try out.
BobS: U7 or U6 ?????
Jillian-brb changed username to Jillian
rich-c: the U& is the one unique custom chip for which there is no substitute, right?
Jillian: I'm back.
Dr.D.: I have this fun idea of someday redoing the ADAM as an all-in-one modern circuit board, small enough to fit in a laptop.
George: i'm lost
Dr.D.: U6 is the ADAMnet master, U7 is the memory I/O controller unique one.
Jillian: It would be neat to figure out what it does.
Dr.D.: I know what's in U6, and can build workarounds for it (just any 68xx CPU and an external EPROM, I have the firmware listing--it's in the stuff I sent to Dale, Jill).
rich-c: yes, any generic chip the specifications will be publicly available
BobS: I had thoughts at different times of making a suitcase model to bring to the cons, but now w/ laptops.........
Dr.D.: But U7 is like a PAL--maybe simple logic inside, but it's a black box that you can't read.
George: my eyes are going wonky
rich-c: are the 6801s in the Adamnet stock design or cusatom, does anyone know?
Dr.D.: Oh jeez, who's the guy who had the suitcase ADAM?
Dr.D.: The 6801s are all custom, because the 6801 is manufactured with a specific software program in it.
rich-c: I think the portable Adam was Gene Welch from the west coast
Dr.D.: However, you can make the equivalent of a 6801 with a 6803/05/11 plus an external EPROM that contains the same program that was manufactured into the 6801.
Dr.D.: YEs, Gene Welch.
George: just put a TV card in your IBM
rich-c: yes, if you know the program that was put in the 6801 in the first place
Dr.D.: In the 160K floppy drive, there is a separate CPU and EPROM.
moved to room Meeting Place
Dr.D.: The CPUs are actually 6801s with internal ROMs that were defective in some way, but are jumpered to ignore the internal ROM and use an external EPROM.

George: Hi Pam
Medusa: PAMELA
Pamela: Hi everyone
BobS: Pammie !!!!!!!
Dr.D.: Nothing you said at all, Ron...just my brain is running out of Duracells.

Pamela: Rich, you're leaving? : (
Pamela: goodnite then
rich-c: she'sa watching Russell watch the eastern final
Dr.D.: Sleeeeepppy...up too early, to bed too late, too many days running....
George: stop watching all those stupid presidents
Pamela: the Chamber of Secrets will soon be open
Dr.D.: Play with my schematics! (paper your walls with them)
Jillian: The only times my Jeffy is out of diapers are bath time and when his parents forget to go shopping.
Dr.D.: YEs COS we will see Sat.
Dr.D.: Good night!
Guy B.: Rich, how much memory is in your Athlon now?
Dr.D.: <poof>
Dr.D. left chat session
BobS: good one Jill !!!!!!!!
Pamela: What time on Sunday Erin?
rich-c: I got 256 MB, likely don't need even half that, but at the price, why not?
da-Duron-ron: right Jillian. Soon you'll be watching him at Convocation, trust me
da-Duron-ron: it goes by that fast
BobS: we'll be there about 3pm Pam........
Judy: that could be a real problem, you could always use dish towels, did that once
Medusa: i'm not sure yet.....it will be in the afternoon I may have to ask u a favour
Pamela: I heard about the flight but it sorta depends on the timing
Guy B.: Well, mine's going up to 384mb this weekend. A friend of mine from work gave me two 128mb Dimm's for mine.
Pamela: we have plans both morning and late afternoon
Medusa: oh?.....well what time is best?
Pamela: mid afternoon, I guess. Haven'
George: i'm down
Pamela: t you booked the flight yet?
rich-c: how far are you upgrading, Guy? or did you mean the memory, not the CPU?
BobS: now, WHAT the heck do you need that much ram for Guy ????
Guy B.: What happened George?
Medusa: the Hill office is hadling the details
Pamela: I just love these firm plans
da-Duron-ron: older I get, the more RAM I need for my computer
George: computer troubles
da-Duron-ron: less is the RAM in the brain

da-Duron-ron: well here
da-Duron-ron: how about you
da-Duron-ron: ??
james: not bad
Medusa: well until Saturday but I have the convention this weekend....i'll be staying at a hotel
james: teaching early today so i can't stay on long
Guy B.: Yep! This system takes the 168pin modules.
Pamela: okay, now I'm really confused
Pamela: they wanted you to stay until Saturday?
Medusa: tell me about it
da-Duron-ron: brb
George: my computer died :-(
Medusa: yes
Guy B.: How George?
rich-c: mines more recent, so I use DDR RAM
Pamela: okay, now I get it
George: i don't know
Medusa: i am going up there to take a course
(With a crash, a shelf full of books collapses.)
Pamela: so now you're supposed to fly out Sunday afternoon and stay till Tuesday?
james: i'll be back in a few minutes
Guy B.: I figured you got the new DDR. I bought mine back in 2001 mined you.
Medusa: yeah
Pamela: are you flying back to T.O. or to Windsor?
Medusa: or Wed...they haven't decided yet
(BobS's head explodes!)
Guy B.: The CPU speed is at the limit, which is 850.
George: i have to buy a new computer
Pamela: wow, this getting really messy people
da-Duron-ron: stop that Bob
rich-c: well I wasnt too fussed about what got stuck in it but I did buy a motherboard with about as much future in it as could be had
Judy: yes, he went to a black screen
Pamela: whose shelf collapsed?
Medusa: likely will have a layover in TO
(Jillian hands BobS a tissue.)
da-Duron-ron: No colds east of the Rockies, please
Judy: he is banging on the keyboard but nothing is happening
Guy B.: I sure once the memory is installed, Win98 will load faster and hopefully be more stable especially on the Net.
da-Duron-ron: Bob?
Jillian: I get a new power supply this weekend and hopefully, my computer (and spreadsheets) will be restored.
Guy B.: My friend from work is suggesting I get Win2000. He says he doesn't trust WinXP either.
Pamela: Erin, are you going to have access to email while you're there?
rich-c: memory can be an issue, of course, but with Windows stability seems to depend on a lot of other things
(An Adam tape drive whirs noisily.)
Guy B.: Who's running Buck Rogers?
Medusa: I should I will be in the hill office on Monday & Tues
da-Duron-ron: @James - thanks fer the info leads you sent last week
Pamela: Halloween's over people
Pamela: so you can let me know what your plans are then, or you can always call me
da-Duron-ron: between you and Mr. Clee, there should now be all sorts of places to look for my Amiga friend
da-Duron-ron: and thanks to you Rich
rich-c: every time I add a new program it seems to take Windows a week to settle in with it
Medusa: while in TO I will have mom's cell
Jillian: What does Halloween have to do with anything Pam?
Medusa: obviously when I am in OTT too
Pamela: oh, and BTW, I found Silence of the Lambs for $29.99 - should I get it?
Medusa: since I won't be coming home
Medusa: PLEASE DO
rich-c: you're very welcome, Ron, from us and Ernie who you may vaguely remember
moved to room Meeting Place
Pamela: well, weird things aren't supposed to happen after Halloween

da-Duron-ron: right
rich-c: isn't there a GO bus to the airport from Yorkdale?
Pamela: I dunno
rich-c: maybe you should check - that's what an internet is for, isnt it?
Jillian: The bus also goes from Islington or Kennedy. Shorter bus ride.
Pamela: I think there may also be direct service from Eglinton west too
da-Duron-ron: James - you there?
George: brb med time
Pamela: possibly an express bus
Medusa: i'm gonna get laost aren't I?

Pamela: No Erin, we'll get you there
JUDY: we hope so, ron
rich-c: actually Erin, given the information available, it's hard to get lost in a city these days
BobS: just like EVERY year
Jillian: Not if you can read Erin.
Medusa: ok I put my trust in you
Pamela: trust me Dad, one can still get lost in T.O. All one has to do is confuse east with west
Jillian: Time to be creative again eh. bleah.
Medusa: so what you're saying is I should bring my compass
da-Duron-ron: Into each life some rain must fall
rich-c: just go to city.toronto.on.ca and use the links to the TTC and GO Transit
Pamela: Exactly.

rich-c: yes, Erin, when a city is laid out on a grid it's quite easy to find your way around
da-Duron-ron: Not necessarily in that order
Meeka: both are doing good
rich-c: even if a lot of the concession lines tend to get broken up by the ravines
da-Duron-ron: god
da-Duron-ron: I mean GOOD

Pamela: Erin, you get yourself here and we'll figure out the rest.
rich-c: well, Union Station to Queens Park is a quick and easy subway ride
Pamela: Yeah, but it's more than that Dad
Medusa: you mean to the apartment?
Medusa: or TO
rich-c: four or five stops, depending on whether you want the south or north sides

da-Duron-ron: your test
Guy B.: Anytime!
da-Duron-ron: I saw it.
da-Duron-ron: It got here
BOBS: ok I a,m lost
rich-c: Erin, grab a Toronto map in suitable scale off the Toronto website, print it out and take it with you
da-Duron-ron: Did you see my earlier Question Bob?
Pamela: welcome to the rest of the world, Bob
rich-c: and get our phone number from your mother in case you run into problems
BOBS: nope, must have been in never neverland then
Medusa: sounds like a plan Uncle Richard.....I have a subway map already
rich-c: OK, the key station for you is Lawrence West
Judy: and everytime he goes to never, never land he takes me with him
BOBS: damn battery went dead
da-Duron-ron: Bob, was wondering if the first week of Dec (Dec 7) would be a reasonable deadline to get you the Xmas stuff by
Medusa: that's the one by Pam right?
Pamela: actually Dad, the airport express runs out of Kipling
rich-c: it's the nearest to us and the transfer point for the Maple Leaf bus (Pamela) and Malton bus (airport)
BOBS: ya sure......well.......going on a cruise on the 6-14th..........of dec
Pamela: don't confuse her Dad
BOBS: but that ia ok...we are late lots anywasy
da-Duron-ron: so Dec 4 would be better than Dec 7
Pamela: Erin, the station where i park every day is Wilson
Medusa: now for the real issue.....this will be my first time on a plane
Meeka: lol, he won't be home on the 7th
Medusa: oooooooohhh ok
Pamela: you'll be fine - it's fun
rich-c: well, OK, if it's fastest and most direct to the airport, then the Bloor subway to Kipling and airport express from there would likely be the winner
BOBS: sure, IF I can find time to copy it....should, but if not, so be it !!!!!!
Judy: can't wait, can you, Meeka?
da-Duron-ron: ok. Gotcha
Meeka: nope!
Meeka: ready to go now
Medusa: Joan is trying to coordinate so that her layover will be connecting with my flight so I won't be alone
Judy: got my hair cut off, really cut off, Meeka
BOBS: like 3 weeks from FRI night
Pamela: to, or from Ottawa?
Meeka: really
da-Duron-ron: time goes by too fast from here to Dec 31
Medusa: to Ott.....on the way back I am on my own
Pamela: Really Judy? How short?
da-Duron-ron: we're going to Edmonton for for Christmas
da-Duron-ron: my annual week in the snow
BOBS: buzz................
Judy: how would you like to give me a perm sometime soon
BOBS: to sis' place ?????
Pamela: Isn't there a flight directly to Ottawa from Windsor?
da-Duron-ron: yup
Judy: Sherri seems to have her hands full, lately
Medusa: yeah....that's what confuses me a little
da-Duron-ron: Maybe this time we'll have an aircraft that actually flies
Pamela: well I'm confused too
rich-c: planning to use WestJet, Ron?
Meeka: ok, I can do that
Judy: we are going for a seven day, Western Carribean
da-Duron-ron: yeah - Comox/Calgary/Edmonton
BOBS: bothewr ya when the flight has to roll down the freewya, does it?????
Medusa: good at least we have each other's company
da-Duron-ron: yeah Bob, that's a bummer
Pamela: misery loves company, I hear
da-Duron-ron: cool
BOBS: as long as the tires are round Ron, it is OK
Pamela: just flap your arms and think really light thoughts, Ron
rich-c: Erin, the main problem with flying is boredom - take a good book
da-Duron-ron: I mean it shouldn't be cool, but it will be cool eh?
da-Duron-ron: LOL Pam
rich-c: don't take anything that will upset security; you will be losing enough time there anyway
BOBS: ya mon......
Medusa: I got a couple lined up.....Red Dragon and Hannibal as well as Lord of the Rings 3rd book
BOBS: we be jammin' mon
Judy: no, bookmarks
George: too many plane crashes
da-Duron-ron: I hate these loud prolonged groans from under the fuselage when we are taxying for the active runway
Medusa: thanks George
BOBS: DON"T LISTEN !!!!!!
Pamela: Ron, don't say anything else - we want her to get on that plane on Sunday
da-Duron-ron: the pilot apparently concurred
Judy: I love to fly
rich-c: also take along a set of earplugs, especially if you have eyes for a window seat
da-Duron-ron: we returned to the gate (last year). Where we proceeded to wait for 4 hours
rich-c: otherwise you'll still have ringing in your ears a week after
Medusa: oh my
Pamela: ?? Dad
Medusa: would a head set do
da-Duron-ron: Air Canada
BOBS: ya sure Erin
Judy: do like the bigger planes best
rich-c: it's just that aircraft are mopisy inside
rich-c: noisy
da-Duron-ron: I don't mind flying - but only after the aircraft leaves the ground
BOBS: WHAT ??????
Pamela: chewing gum so your ears will pop at altitude
da-Duron-ron: It's what takes place around the terminal that seems to be a problem
BOBS: if we were meant to fly.....we would have WINGS
Judy: that is the best way to fly, Ron
da-Duron-ron: true
Pamela: face it Ron, you just look suspicious
rich-c: and Erin, listen for teh sounds and see if you can figure out what they mean
Guy B.: Well folks, I going to go. I'll won't be here next week. But, I'll see on Saturday.
da-Duron-ron: Bob, while I'm over there, I'm gonna talk to that lady in Edmonton re the ADAM she's endeavouring to unload
Medusa: bye Guy
Medusa: sounds????
Pamela: g'nite Guy - sweet dreams
rich-c: OK Guy, no football then so my full attention - see you
George: nite Guy
da-Duron-ron: assuming she still has it
Judy: so do I Ron, had an awful time last time, got stopped all the time
BOBS: good idea......take that puppy home wiht ya
BOBS: byer Guy
Guy B.: I was watching Notre Dame last Saturday.
Judy: nite, Guy
Guy B. left chat session
da-Duron-ron: yup....it's be needed here
rich-c: Erin, at takeoff the engines will be hugely noisy - but listen for teh clunk that means the wheels are up
Medusa: oh my
Pamela: like, the luggage hatch closing, the landing gear up etc
rich-c: the engine noise will simmer down as they throttle back to cruise, but will vary time to time
Pamela: it's a thrill Erin - I really love it
da-Duron-ron: Hell, by then I'm asleep
Judy: Erin have you flown before?
Pamela: Ron, do they still take off over the ocean at Vancouver airport?
rich-c: dont panic when the engine appears to turn off about 100 miles short of Ottawa
Medusa: never
Medusa: me panic.....nooooo
rich-c: planes can glide so far now if they didnt back off to idle then, they'd overshoot
da-Duron-ron: depends Pamela. that is the major runway,yes 09/27
BOBS: until; the darn steward or stewardess wakes ya up for soda or coffee and a cookie !!!!!!!!!
George: shall i put my gas mask on?
da-Duron-ron: mostly the seem to approach from the west after having come from the east
da-Duron-ron: circle out over the water, then come in on runway -09
Judy: just enjoy it, it is fun
da-Duron-ron: right Bob
da-Duron-ron: that's how it goes
Pamela: when I flew into Vancouver to meet Mom and Dad for Expo 86, we landed on and took off from that runway - actually circled out over the water and then turned around to land. it was cool
Medusa: ok....it'll be a new experience for me
da-Duron-ron: If I want a DietCoke, she offers me a coffee
da-Duron-ron: etc
BOBS: ladies and gents, we have now reached our cruising altitude, you have 40 seconds to drink your pop and coffee before we descend.........
da-Duron-ron: you know you're on the west coast
Pamela: at first though, it was like "hey, you overshot the airport"
Medusa: hehe
BOBS: so now stow all gear, throw away your cups and put your seatback in an upright position............
Pamela: does this thing float?
Medusa: that was a nervous "hehe" btw
da-Duron-ron: right. like Hey GALLOOT -- tha airport is back there!!!
Meeka: ok, well Bandit is bugging to go outside, so I guess I am out of here, see ya next week
rich-c: Ron, does YVR have a runway 32?
rich-c: see you Meeka
Medusa: nite Meeka
Pamela: what was really weird was we were so low that I was able to read signs from the air - Midas comes to mind
Judy: bye, Meeka, talk to you later
BOBS: well, they want ot give you the tourist tour of the airport so you can see it from the air.....they eventually turn around and land on it too
George: nite Meeka
da-Duron-ron: Um......... Don't think so Rich.. I don't have a copy of the Canada Air Pilot Around here
Pamela: Nite Meeks!
da-Duron-ron: but...
Meeka: night everyone
Meeka left chat session
da-Duron-ron: nw/se would be aligned with the prevailing wind which is southeast
rich-c: oh, when we went out in 1972 we seemed to come in over the Delta on a heading of about 320
BOBS: 1872 ?????????
da-Duron-ron: heading towards the mountains on the North Shore eh?
rich-c: we had a three-holer running full flaps - what a racket
BOBS: they didn't have planes then !!!!!!
George: 1792
Judy: planes are better now
rich-c: no, more parallel to teh mountains header towards the strait
Pamela: put yer glasses on, Slopsema - that says 1972
BOBS: THIRTY years ago ?????? those planes are almost in the junkyards now
Pamela: I wish I could go with you Erin
rich-c: anyway the 727 had a high sink rate, which was why CP Air favoured it - needed a fast letdown after clearing the Rockies
Medusa: thanks
George: i'll stay on the ground
Pamela: Have you ever flown, George?
BOBS: flown the coup maybe
rich-c: oh yes Erin - when you hear a sudden racket like the airplane's about to fall apart, it isn't
George: yes i was terrified
Medusa: oh great...good to know
Pamela: DAD!!!!! Don't scare her
rich-c: look out at the wing and you will see the flaps extended - they let teh plane land safely
Pamela: what scared you George?
(Someone throws a brick at rich-c)
Medusa: i'll be sure to write letters to all my loved ones b4 I get on the plane
BOBS: the heck with landing....how about taking off !!!!!
rich-c: Erin, you're safer on teh plane than you are at home
George: when the plane turned i went down
BOBS: you can leave all your worldly stuff to Pam, she don't need it
rich-c: and don't even think of jaywalking in Toronto - now THAT'S a risk
Pamela: I don't have any room for it Bob - have you seen her bedroom???
Medusa: this is wonderful
Pamela: Meaning, you dipped down on one side George?
BOBS: nope, but can jsut imagine,........ERIN ya can't crash and burn...Pam DOES NOT want your stuff !!!!! :-)
Medusa: we are now partitioning my stuff
George: i thought the plane was going to crash
rich-c: Erin, learn all you can about what planes do to fly, then apply it to what you see and hear on your flights
rich-c: it makes them go much faster bedcause they are so much moe interesting
Pamela: for some, ignorance of the physics of flying is bliss
Medusa: i am wondering if ignorance is bliss this time around
BOBS: ....um.......plane go FAST...plane in AIR.....plane fly like bird.....plane land on GR"OUND
Medusa: thanks Bob I hope I can remember that
Pamela: that about covers it
George: planes crash
Medusa: thanks George
Pamela: so do cars, George - and a lot more frequently
BOBS: naw...........only teeny tiny ones
rich-c: that's OK - my first flight was on what I think was a Curtis JN-4 (Jenny)
da-Duron-ron: rich...just looking at a map of YVR
da-Duron-ron: I see runway 08/28 North and runway 08/28 south
Pamela: and yet no one hesitates to get into them
da-Duron-ron: (sorry 08/28 left and 08/28 right
rich-c: OK, we likely came in then on 28 North
BOBS: Ron, Erin dos NOT need to know the runway #'s
da-Duron-ron: and runway 12/30
BOBS: she just want sot land safely
da-Duron-ron: so that would be aligned to 300 deg magnetic
da-Duron-ron: close
Judy: don't worry, be happy, have fun, ERin
Medusa: thanks Judy
George: how to get out of the airport
BOBS: be happy as they say in Jamaica mon
rich-c: well I knew it wasn't straight north so the 32 was a plausible guess
Medusa: hehehehe
da-Duron-ron: yup
da-Duron-ron: I'm supposed to know these things. I used to work there
rich-c: anyway, runway numbers are just the direction they run in compass headings
Pamela: One worry you won't have is a height thing Rin
da-Duron-ron: yes
BOBS: we usually leave runway selection to the pilot of the plane..............hmmmmmm
Medusa: i hope not
Pamela: Well, if you can deal with the CN tower, you can deal with heights
Medusa: the glass floor in the CN Tower is alittle different
da-Duron-ron: which is why one end is 180 deg away from the other end
Judy: not something you have much to say about
Pamela: and as Russell says, after a while you're so high it doesn't seem real anymore
BOBS: flying ist WUNDERSHUEN !!!!!!!!!!
Medusa: true......"life is but a dream"
Judy: you can't believe you are going so fast
rich-c: it's just that it gets spooky when you're in a cloud
Pamela: I conquered the glass floor the last time I went up, with James
Medusa: way to go Pam
Pamela: Bob, I agree
Medusa: i think a cloud might be pretty cool
Pamela: mind over eyeballs
BOBS: un uh.........in clouds is like dark only it is light
Medusa: so long as the pilot knows where he/she is going
rich-c: remember fog is just a ground-level cloud
da-Duron-ron: like overflying the Rockies on a sunny day
Pamela: now that's asking a lot
BOBS: that's why they got instruments my dear
rich-c: and this is a very thick fog
Judy: they are they look like cottonballs up there
Medusa: good stuff
Pamela: Simpsons clouds!
Medusa: LOLOLOLOLOLOL
George: make sure the pilot is sober
BOBS: flyhing in clear weather is AWESOME
rich-c: actually the pilot is just along for the rise nowadays
da-Duron-ron: the year of ADAMCON 10, I got a super view of Mt Baker, Mt Rainier, and Mt St. Helens on the right side of the acft
BOBS: Geo they fired all those guys
da-Duron-ron: plilot even pointed it out
Pamela: okay, we're getting into TMI now people
rich-c: the aircraft are so automated they can take off, fly their routes, and land by themselves
BOBS: YO Ronald.....for AC11 we got the vies on the left side !!!!!!!
BOBS: view
rich-c: the pilot is just there as a backstop in case something unplanned happens
da-Duron-ron: super eh?
Medusa: like a hijacking?
Medusa: i'm ok
Medusa: really
Pamela: doesn't it go without saying that a hijacking is unplanned?
Pamela: at least for the people on the aircraft
Medusa: depends on your point of view.....welcome to today's world
George: or a shoe bomber
Judy: not happening very often, either
Medusa: see
Medusa: oh well
Medusa: if you gotta go............
rich-c: just know what's going on so you arrive OK
da-Duron-ron: but mostly, I sleep
Pamela: c'mon, why would anyone want to commandeer a plane going to Ottawa?
Medusa: Pam that doesn't help
Medusa: LOL
Pamela: sometimes it pays to be a boring Canadian
Pamela: : )
BOBS: a runawasy frenchman ?????????
da-Duron-ron: you mean the quiet provincial backwater with it's head in the sand, it's feet in cement and it's rear in an ivory tower
da-Duron-ron: ??
Pamela: yeah, but he could get there faster by driving
Pamela: that's the one, Ron
da-Duron-ron: right
Medusa: i'd rather stay in TO
Medusa: :o)
rich-c: sorry, 'rin, it's Wonderland on the Rideau for you
Judy: sure after hearing all this
Pamela: well, we'd rather have you in Toronto too, but that's life. At least you get a trip courtesy of the government
rich-c: just check your reality at the airport and recover it when you leave
Medusa: true, very true
da-Duron-ron: our nation's capital city
Pamela: Hey Dad, how old was I the last time we were in Ottawa>
BOBS: well this is interesting; to say the least; but we need to hit the hay.........SO, to one and all......Good Night to All and to ALL a good night
rich-c: which would be a very nice place if it weren't for the government
Medusa: g'nite Bob
da-Duron-ron: niters Bob, Judy. Stay well now eh?
George: nite Bob
Judy: well, all, it is that time of the night again, bye fo;r n;ow

Medusa: we should be fine.....the convention should be over by 2 and i will likely have to be there by 4...i really don't know.....i should know more tomorrow
Pamela: Russell and I have often commented on how much fun it would be
Medusa: that would be fun
Medusa: i'll have to work it out sometime soon
