Hello,
The Web Widow told me I was being too negative. What can I say? I'm on a mission from God. Liberalism, like very other neat drug, makes you feel good while it destroys you.
The SCSI class aside, it's been an e-mail kind of week. Igor, bring on the e-mail.

Thanx for the plug! If you want to, I can put you up a 300x60 ad on any of my site's sections.
OK, Here is a rough sample of the basic layout of the graphic. All the graphics will be modeled off this....I just wanted your approval before I complete the graphics that will be used. The theme I used for this goes as follows:
I used an earth-style background, to represent planet earth I put the reddish lines in to represent a path for technology I used clipart of Historic Technology and Modern Technology I put the different areas of technology on diff. sides....Technology has an inverted background.

Not at all, feel free to use the form. I don't even remember where I stole it from.

I was having a discussion with some friends about the Three Stooges, when a disagreement arose about the order of the appearance. I was wondering if you could help settle the argument.
I thought Curly came before Shemp, but the other two guys said that Shemp was first.

Subject: Maybe you can help
First, nice looking web page. You did a great job. Now for the real
issue.
My daughter had a sleep over the other night (it was her 13th birthday
party) and in the morning I video-taped all the girld strewn across
our
living room floor, snoring away. I was wondering if you could help
me find
the film clip which opens with the stooges snoring, then Moe waking
up and
telling the others to "wake up and go to sleep" I'd like
to use that audio
clip as a voice over over the girls sleeping. I think it would add
a little
hunor to the film. And, becuase all of them are big Stooges fans, it
will be
a little extra surprise when they see ythe finished video. Any help
you can
give me will be appreciated. Thanks
HiTekFred@AOL.comm

To: outshine@best.com (Anthony Boyd) Subject: Re: Broken Link
Hello,
Thanks for letting me know about your site moving. I recieved two emails about "broken link" but the Alta Vista trick only gave me one page (out of date at that). A quick search of my site turned up three pages.
1) http://www.bayarea.net/~arkres/wiltb/chr/toaster1.html - points to WEBsurf, so I'll have to wait for it to be moved. 2) http://www.pobox.com/~the.web.walker/report/ws010796.htm - also points to WEBsurf 3) http://www.pobox.com/~the.web.walker/report/ws032496.htm - another issue of WEBsurf
Sorry to hear you've moved to best.com. I just left there a couple of months ago. IMHO: the service (i.e. web server response) sux.
Thanks for the tip about www.roverbot.com. I didn't know about that service. And a final thanks for the Alta Vista trick. Yet another piece of trivia I didn't know about.
If there's anyway I can return the favor, let me know. ...wtb... - http://www.byrum.org/3stooges/

Clearing the border on the US side wasn't a problem. They really don't care what you smuggle out of the United States. Normally the Mexican checkpoint shows little interest in tourists but I wanted a drink.
Web: "Igor, stop at the checkpoint. I want to talk to the guard."
Web to the guard: "The US customs agent back they said you mother does the donkey show in these parts."
The guard grabs his rifle and charges toward the US border shouting something about die Yankee pig.
Web: "Igor, get the bottle of tequila from the lower right hand drawer of the desk"
Igor: "Got it and I also liberated a some salt and a handful of limes while I was at it."
Web: "Good thinking."
Back on the highway, we encounter a roadblock guarded by bandits. As we come to a stop, the leader approaches the passenger window on my side of the car while the rest of the gang surrounds the car.
Bandit leader: "Fruit Inspectors, everyone get out of the car."
Web: "Where are you badges?"
Bandit leader: "We don't need no stinking badges."
Web pulls out a hand grenade, removes the pin, releases the spoon and hands the grenade to the bandit.
Web: "Here, inspect this pineapple."
As Igor rams the Cadillac through the roadblock, a very intense but short lived game of hot potato breaks out among the bandits.
Igor: "Boss, didn't we leave LA in a Bronco?"
Web: "I didn't know it was LA and the car we're driving is the authors problem. Besides, me and James prefer the extra room."
The author realizing he must deal with these rebellious character immediately if he ever hopes to regain control of this story inserts a flashback.
Back in LA, before heading for the border, our characters feeling smug and self-satisfied pull off the freeway and into a "Jack In The Box" for a quick snack before heading into Mexico. Spying a stretch limousine from a previous story, they decide to car-jack their way to an automotive upgrade. Our characters, now fugitive felons unable to return to the United States under threat of death sentences, continue their drive to Mexico feeling a little less smug about trying to jerk the writer around.
Chapter three: "Mexico City or Bust." or "The not so freemen welcome a visit."
