You're lucky he didn't get a gang boy gook to get you. They have gook

You obviously have no clue what an olive branch is.

Hi Archie. I take note of your statement, "If I did ... ".

So now it seems you've gone from celibate, to super stud, now to gay
dude. You seem to have covered al bases, so tell us, what are the
pro's and con's of each of your lifestyle choices. When you were in
your super stud phase pleasing many women, did you ever find yourself

That Fatbytesturd is just like his name suggests - an overweight pile
of shit. I had a punk like him in one of our squads; always knew
everything about everything. Everyone else was dumb. He knew it
all. One day someone fragged the fat fuck. Fatbytesturd may be
providing some lip service to retired elisted servicemen, so I'd like
to see him stay around and be everybody's bitch. Then again, I'm sure
he's used to that already. I see an extremely overweight, slovenly
pig, probably in his 40's, never married, never dated (in spite of his
bullshit about pleasing women), body pock-marked with acne scars and
matching blisters on his right hand and his withered dick. Someone
said earlier that he probably hasn't even seen his dick for years. I
looked a old messages and he's afraid to do your puzzle. It's so
fucking funny to see him avoid it. A classic wannabe response to a
bet. Keeps us all laughing at him.

Not that unusual. The biggest hassle these days would be the 8V rail.

You can make you own linear
power supplies but they are usually huge and difficult to work with
things. I'd like to simplify it a bit.

You might be able to find a PC PSU where you can jack up the 5V rail to 8V.

On ensiarvoisen hyvä havaita, että viimein alkaa löytymään oikeaa otetta ja
ydinalan hyssyttely mm. CO2 varjoharhansa alla alkaa loppumaan.

Syvä kunnioittava kumarrus teille seiniin kiinnittyneille valioille. On
ensiarvoisen tärkeää pistää kapuloita ydinrikosten tekijöiden rattaisiin

Hi! Just a quick update on the N8VEM home brew computing project
specifically the S-100 PCBs. The N8VEM S-100 backplane PCBs are all
sent to the testers and the results so far have been positive. There
were some "clean up" issues with the documentation but no "show
stoppers" identified. If anyone would like to get their own N8VEM
S-100 backplane PCB please contact me and I will place you on the
waiting list for the next batch.

Based on the feedback I've gotten so far there does not appear to be a
need for an N8VEM S-100 linear power supply PCB. Builders can use
commercial SMPSUs or repurposed SMPSUs which is what I do. If you are
interested in an N8VEM S-100 linear power supply PCB please contact me
off list to discuss. I'll offer one if there is sufficient interest
to warrant a manufacturing run of prototype LPSU PCBs. Of course you
could make your own S-100 LPSU or use a legacy LPSU.

Today Fedex attempted to deliver my first batch of the N8VEM S-100
prototyping boards. They will be available tomorrow for $25 each plus
shipping which is typically $2 in the US and $5 overseas. With the
S-100 backplane, an SMPSU, and an S-100 prototyping board you have
enough to make your own S-100 home brew computer. There is additional
information on the N8VEM S-100 prototyping board at the N8VEM wiki in
the S100 folder.

I am considering making some additional S-100 boards such as an 8080A
CPU board, SRAM board, and serial IO board but have no firm plans at
the moment. If you are interested in cooperating with me on an S-100
home brew project please contact me off list. Most likely most people
in SED will not be interested in S-100 home brew computing so this
should probably be continued on comp.os.cpm or at the N8VEM mailing
list.

Thanks and have a nice day!

Andrew Lynch

PS, please join us on the N8VEM mailing list and wiki. There are
several N8VEM home brew computing PCBs available.

The N8VEM S-100 prototyping board PCBs arrived today. I built one and
it works great. Fits just fine and all the voltages are correct and
in the right places. The PCBs turned out very nice. Please contact

Go? Different Service provider.

You do not offer "full Internet access", then curtail some of that
access and still claim it to be full access.

Sounds like the perfect place for a class action suit.

I'd say that the service is worth a minimum of 1/3rd less.

So, where will y'all go now? Guess it's shopping time.

Well, if you need your binaries groups (I haven't seen abse in a long
time now, but I haven't dropped dead, though I wouldn't mind having
access) there are a (very) few decent free options. I've been using one
for a few months. If I need to post a picture, I'll stuff it up on the
web somewhere and post a link.

If you must have your binaries, there are lots of pay to play
news-servers out there. Its increasingly rare to get news service (full
or limited) with internet access. Wanton excess in the binaries has
pretty well ruined it, and spam (thanks so much for supporting usenet
spammers, google) has ruined quite a few non-binary groups - while
usenet is far more efficient for moving information around, web forums
have sucked many a vibrant newsgroup down the tubes as people toss up
their hands at trolls, spam, and difficulty accessing news servers.

Just got this little message. The "world delivered" as they say in their
ads, yeah right. Since this affects a large chunk of folks here and some
may miss that little message I thought I better post it. They did not
send it via email, just a small blurb in the NG. Hurumph!

So, where will y'all go now? Guess it's shopping time.

Wow. So this makes the Verizon service look good, even after killing
all of the alt.* groups, including alt.binaries.schematics.electronic.
That is, until Verizon decides to follow AT&T, which I guess I can now
expect to happen soon.

Started from a different ISP (Verizon) but I jumped to APN (from Forte')
a while ago to be able to get usenet access -- and my own files and
filters -- when not logged in through Verizon.

APN is currently reselling EasyNews with a slightly different cost
structure. Been with them a couple of years now, pretty cheap, no
complaints, good retention, lots o' groups.

Go? Different Service provider.

You do not offer "full Internet access", then curtail some of that
access and still claim it to be full access.

Well, what most ISP's are really offering their customer for money
is allowing them to send/receive IP packets over the Internet from
their pc, and ..... that's it.
Any additional services beyond that are kind of 'courtesy', or way
to attract their customers so they stay with them.

Fortunately, there are many free netnews servers that you can use.
Following might help finding such.
