Ed--

    I appreciate your situation in an even more immediate way, now.  Bad
news, good news here.  My mother is scheduled for a lumpectomy Monday.  Good
news is they found it very early, in a cancer whose biggest problem is that
is often not found until too late.
    My mother's mother, uncle, and sister all had breast cancer, and it
killed my aunt, so this is emotionally troubling, but intellectually I know
that mother's case and my aunt's are entirely different.  I have been doing
some research, and am felling quite positive about the situation right now,
and not allowing myself to dwell on it when the negative thoughts crop up.
    So here's to early detection and good treatment.  Best wishes with your
own, again.

   Hang in there.  Your support can mean a great deal to your
mother.  You can't have too many people who genuinely care for you
offering their support when facing cancer.  (Some support _For_
immediate family like yourself is also most helpful.  I know from
painful experience.)

JT:  Speaking of super fast connections (like 21.6 thousand tiny
little bits per second being transferred <g>);  I have warned a few
people against trying out a cable internet connection during a free
trial period.  These people are on a tight budget and I told them
that once they get a taste of 2 Megabit per second transfer rates,
they won't want to go back to their POTS modems.  At $45 per month,
this could be an expensive 'habit'  for some to acquire and
maintain.  
    I wonder what the next generation of high speed connections will
be like?  What would/could you do with an affordable T3 line to your
PC of choice???   (Random thoughts.)

As for me, I have no idea! I rarely wait very long for anything of
importance, aside from WinMX downloads. Even while I am downloading large
files, it doesn't seem to interfere with normal web surfing.

And that's just a 500-600k DSL connection.

I'm at a very comfortable speed here.

Thanks, Ed.
    I don't have much family, but my mother has, and I have, good friends.
And I have a husband who is so sweet.  When I first got the news, he was
ready to ruch home to me.  Even more understanding, he was willing to stay
away, while I had a little time to myself, at my request, and not come home
until I called him.  Now, that is just extra, EXTRA special.

When my sister was diagnosed with breast cancer, she was far 
from Texas (in Brooklyn) where I couldn't be with her right 
away.  My best friend Toby kept me company after my sister 
called to give me the news. I got so stressed. For some 
reason I wanted to go to Home Depot, where Toby and I went 
down every aisle and I told her what many of the items were 
called and what they were for. Toby (who couldn't care less 
about hardware) acted interested the entire time (4-5 
hours). Now that's a friend. :)

A 45Mbps connection (T3) has enough room for about 20 high quality compressed
digital video signals, simultaneously, such as we already have with cable
TV. Once the Internet backbone caught up, some web sites would become "channels"
in their own right, with the ability to stream a constant video connection
to anyone who logged onto their site, or possibly more than one. 

Some web sites would play whatever movies their customers requested, within
limits. The "Ye Olde Movie Channel", for instance, might allow you to log
on and request "Ben Hur" at any time.

Side effects? Digital cable, satellite TV, normal TV, video tapes, DVDs,
etc., could go the way of the dodo. Instead, your cable provider could supply
a package of shows for a set fee, or the shows might be individually available
from the creators. Movie channels could operate like video stores, but without
the need to return the video.

The number of channels potentially available wouldn't be hundreds, it would
be thousands. Your favorite TV series that couldn't make it on TV could
possibly continue to create new episodes, sending them out every Saturday
night at 8 (for a modest fee), or send continuous reruns (the Buffy the
Vampire Slayer channel!).

Now, will the Internet infrastructure allow such a thing? Hard to say. It
coudn't _now_, but some countries (read: not the US; the phone companies
would rather take advantage of legal arrangements making them effective
monopolies and save the money on infrastructure) are putting serious effort
into keeping abreast of the digital revolution by putting serious money
into the Internet "backbone" infrastructure. They will, if they continue
as they are now, be able to have just what I described.

So, if you want this future, you may have to live in Japan, or Germany.
But somebody is most likely going to get it.

by Deb Rule, and technical support by G. E. Rule.  Features poetry by
R. A. Heinlein ("Green Hills of Earth") Rob Slater ("Free to Fall")
and John Tilden ("Acceleration").

    50 minute tape and includes a 30 page educational booklet.
Narration-free; just tranquil, flowing classical music to accompany
you as you float above the beauty of mother Earth. Looks absolutely
awesome on a 55" TV.<g>

Well, gunner, there is definitely a limited supply.  What there is,
there is.  Once the ones PBS made for themselves run out, so does our
permission from the estate to use "Green Hills of Earth" (unless we
find another PBS station that is interested in the meantime). Tho, to
be fair, GHoE is there as a hommage, and is only on the screen for 30
seconds or so.  I suppose Deb could re-cut the master to remove GHoE
and re-issue without any PBS affiliation (rights to the master have
reverted to her under the initial agreement), but we have no plans to
do so at the current time.  Nevertheless, I suspect you have a few
months for your finances to improve before they're all gone  --we're a
small operation; tho we are encouraged at the initial response.  Seven
sold in the first 72 hrs, and not all from our friends here.

This is our first Christmas as "retailers" (we sell two CD's on the
Civil War and Reconstruction in Missouri as well as this tape), and we
are definitely seeing the impact of Christmas on overall yearly sales.
One thing to read about it and understand it intellectually; another
thing to live it (and actually fulfill those orders!).

Newsgroups: sff.discuss.heinlein-forum

Yeah, we've had this posted before, but this list is a bit longer I
think.

FEUDALISM: You have two cows. Your lord takes some of the milk. 

PURE SOCIALISM: You have two cows. The government takes them and puts
them in a barn with everyone else's cows. You have to take care of all
the cows. The government gives you as much milk as you need. 

BUREAUCRATIC SOCIALISM: You have two cows. The government takes them
and puts them in a barn with everyone else's cows. They are cared for
by ex-chicken farmers. You have to take care of the chickens the
government took from the chicken farmers. The government gives you as
much milk and as many eggs as the regulations say you should need. 

FASCISM: You have two cows. The government takes both, hires you to
take care of them, and sells you the milk. 

PURE COMMUNISM: You have two cows. Your neighbors help you take care
of them, and you all share the milk. 

RUSSIAN COMMUNISM: You have two cows. You have to take care of them,
but the government takes all the milk. 

DICTATORSHIP: You have two cows. The government takes both and shoots
you. 

SINGAPOREAN DEMOCRACY: You have two cows. The government fines you for
keeping two unlicensed farm animals in an apartment. 

MILITARIANISM: You have two cows. The government takes both and drafts
you. 

PURE DEMOCRACY: You have two cows. Your neighbors decide who gets the
milk. 

REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY: You have two cows. Your neighbors pick
someone to tell you who gets the milk. 

AMERICAN DEMOCRACY: The government promises to give you two cows if
you vote for it. After the election, the president is impeached for
speculating in cow futures. The press dubs the affair "Cowgate". 

BRITISH DEMOCRACY: You have two cows. You feed them sheeps' brains and
they go mad. The government doesn't do anything. 

BUREAUCRACY: You have two cows. At first the government regulates what
you can feed them and when you can milk them. Then it pays you not to
milk them. After that it takes both, shoots one, milks the other and
pours the milk down the drain. Then it requires you to fill out forms
accounting for the missing cows.. 

ANARCHY: You have two cows. Either you sell the milk at a fair price
or your neighbors try to kill you and take the cows. 

CAPITALISM: You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. 

HONG KONG CAPITALISM: You have two cows. You sell three of them to
your publicly-listed company, using letters of credit opened by your
brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with
associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a
tax deduction for keeping five cows. The milk rights of six cows are
transferred via a Panamanian intermediary to a Cayman Islands company
secretly owned by the majority shareholder, who sells the rights to
all seven cows' milk back to the listed company. The annual report
says that the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more.
Meanwhile, you kill the two cows because the fung shui is bad. 

ENVIRONMENTALISM: You have two cows. The government bans you from
milking or killing them. 

FEMINISM: You have two cows. They get married and adopt a veal calf. 

TOTALITARIANISM: You have two cows. The government takes them and
denies they ever existed. Milk is banned. 

COUNTER CULTURE: Wow, dude, there's like... these two cows, man. You
got to have some of this milk. 

SURREALISM: You have two giraffes. The government requires you to take
harmonica lessons.

so am redesigning my website.  I'll link my mention of "Earthscape" directly
to your page if it's all right with you.

I have been checking on your site regularly.  Looks great.
Give your wife a hug for me.

BTW, anyone wanting to hear some samples of songs I'm recording can check
out my site at http://home.attbi.com/~rslater215/.  It has a mirror at
sff.net, but I'm leaving it plain as a comparison for my instructor.
