week. This is not good. In fact it is pure evil and I am considering giving
up eating just so I can have an extra few hours! (This is R E A L L Y
obsessive! I'll have to talk with my phyciatrist!)
On top of the last blow, my only refuge for ever so long now has been X-Files.
And now..<sob> they are replacing <wipes away a tear> it with American
Gothic!<crys for two of remaining 5 mins for this weeks allowance> I haven't
heard much about American Gothic but I don't care. I know that for the last
few Wednesdays there have only been repeats but I don't care, I want X-Files
back! <pout>
Wow! Has anyone ever read the Star Trek books based on the cartoon series? I
don't like the cartoons personally, I prefer the books.
Back to the usual drudgery of a lifetime confined to a small room with a
person up the front bablling and no one listening on Monday. Personally, I
rather prefer school to holidays, it is a lot more social. (Except for the
socials and they are just plain silly!) That reminds me, once my friend's
report card said that she was too anti-social. This was because she spent the
whole time doing her work. Hmmmm....
Oh well, tomorrow night I am going over to a sleep over. This will involve
staying up all night trying to a ouidji (I know that's not how you spell it
and I don't care!) board to work and the rest of the time gossiping about how
much fun we had in 7th grade.
By the way, has anyone ever actually managed to get a ouidji board to work? I
mean apart from 'Exorcist' ? We pretended we did once and spelt out a message
for one of my friends and she was really freaked..funny that.
Does anyone know how to do a sig.? I can't get it to work!
See ya all.
Julia :)

An hour a week?! That is _not_ fair! I'm only allowed an hour a week on
BBS's , but I'm allowed unlimeted access to the Internet. I end up having to
pay just to use the phone, but my sister, who uses the phone just as much as
me, doesn't have to pay!

The original Star Trek series? I've only got one of them, but that is really
good. I've got seven TNG books, and I like all of them, so everyone else go
out and buy them :) Oh, whilst we're on the subject, does anyone read Terry
Pratchett books? They are _really_ funny!

*waves hands*
Yup.
I plead guilty to having read most of them :)
I've got quit a lot of the original series books here, a few next gen, most
of the DS9 and Voyager books as well. So which ones do you prefer?

Right, that will be the early ones, Colour of Magic? The Light Fantastic?
Equal Rites? or Mort? I think those are the only four out, or have they

The Star Trek acadamy ones are too, but a few of them are OK. Capture the

I don't like those two much. They're OK, but the others are much better.

Actually, it was only one pack! The only problem is, its a 85UKP pack<G>
It's the limeted edition collecters tin, every single card from the Alpha
and Beta set packs. All 363 of them! And they used this fine quality card,
that feels really smooth. 8)

Most of the original series books (missing about 2, I think), quite a few of
the next gen ones (up to about 30 or so there), all DS9 so far, all but one
voyager so far...

Yeah, bit pricey though - that reminds me of a conversation I had with the
head of Simon & Schuster books (Star Trek) in the UK over a year ago :
Me: Can I ask you why you are charging the same for the normal books as you
are for the Academy, thinner books?
Him: Certainly, its a direct reflection of the dollar price on them, as we
get them all delivered in from the US.
Me: Ok, so, the usual books cost $5.5, and the academy books cost $3.5, and
thats on the back of the book. So why do they both cost 4.5ukp?
Him: I have no idea. I'll get back to you.
I then went an ordered them from a US Importer. Much cheaper.

Hmph. You only need about 10ukp each month to keep up its not that hard.
I started collecting them though about 7 years ago, and two years ago I had a
big purge to buy up all the books I hadn't got (about 20 then) and I have
a pretty complete library now.
Still too many gaps in the next gen section numbering, but my bookcase is full.

Hehehe <(*evil laugh*)>. Nope, used to work as head of the Star Trek department
in an import store, so I had to get things like that done. We also used to get
the books imported from the states quicker than they admitted they were
actually out here. - Take a recent Pocket Books Star Trek book, get the release
date from either the back or front covers of another book, go to Smiths and
ask about. The two dates don't match (by about 2 months I think is the current
difference).

It's good isn't it! Most people who don't like Star Trek are surprised by
the books, I know it was different. And I like playing Capture the Flag

Which ones have you read? The latest one I have is "Odyssey",
which might be the best one I've read so far, with "Pulitzer" running a
close second.

Oh well, there is only one thing for it then.
Time to phone up Diamond Direct (importers) and see if I can get a business
account with them. Might do that in the summer.. Or, much easier, just visit
Pages or that Nice Trek shop in London. :)

BIG waste of money. No, I lie, not BIG, bloody BIG, even bigger than REALLY
BIG. The editor is incompetent, its changed publishers more times than Kira
has changed her hairstyle, and, above all, it doesn't have ANY useful info in
it.
Take out an overseas subscription to the US one. You also get more issues for
less, with that, and its more useful info. :)

Not as what our copy keys do.. Our copy key deletes to the right, backspace
and delete delete to the left, and in most editors Ctrl-Copy deletes the line.
For some strange reason, my new keyboard has 'End' instead of 'Copy' on the
keycaps, so I suspect that they've been buying and badging cheap PC crap
off of Olivetti.

is it just me, or is this a highly anti-intuitive thing for a key marked
'copy' to do? or, perhaps, this is some usage of the word 'copy' with which
i am not familiar?

It was #103, and it wasn't one of the original Lefler's Laws, but was
added by Wesley.:)
> ~Daniel What are you talking about anyway? Geordie ahead of Riker? Eh?
Well, it seemed to be about those people who could actually
tolerate Wesley, and Geordi seemed to like him better than Riker, and in
the earlier shows, Picard seemed to have a thinly veiled desire to toss
Wesley through the nearest airlock... or at the very least, "accidentally"
lose his pattern while beaming him up. :)

Just you, I think as its perfectly logical for me to use Copy/End in that manner
just as Ctrl-U is useful for eliminating the entire line of text as well
(usually).

I know Wesley added it, he did it right at the end of the episode, when his
shuttle was about to leave for Earth again, but are you _sure_ it was 103?

Hehehehe.....do you remeber the first few episodes, when Picard got really
annoyed everytime he saw a kid? That was really funny, when Wes saved the
ship, and Picard, grudgingly, thanked him for it. Served him right!

A form of withdrawl symptom
who was in a nightclub in lincoln, where they have never heard of goths
(no, I'm not a goth, I just display a reasonable proprtion of the
tendencies) and was asked why he wore fingerless gloves in a club, and
replied 'so if my palms are sweaty noone will notice', and was believed,
ah well

/me likes ed. Well, kind of. I used to use EDLIN quite a lot (being the only
working editor in quite a few places, and me having to modify CONFIG.SYS and
AUTOEXEC.BAT), and ed is a big improvement over that. :)

No, too hard.. F3 for save, Ctrl-Q for quit, Esc-<arrows> for marking blocks
(or F6),Clear block, Ctrl-Z, Ctrl-A for marking either words, lines or the
entire text. Ctrl-C for copy, and Ctrl-K for delete. Much easier to remember. ;)
