I'm sorry about the extra e-mail. Please don't get too upset. I can
explain.

The problem lies with my cordless phone. It picks up stray signals
here in downtown portland. ( A pain in the butt I assure you ;-)

The problem is that when I dial up and don't unplug my cordless from
the AC socket I run the risk of picking up some stray sig which hoses
my connection to the computer. I get logged off. ;-( You and i have
learned this the "hard way".

Last night I got logged off 2 twice (at least) and once tonight. Pain
in the butt.

I use the elm mailer with uniplex word processing and so one of the
two is thinking that because I got logged off I must be done and so it
sent out my e-mail (make sense?).  I'm gonna do a mailbug on this.  (I
think the version we use here is beta stuff so it may be important)

You may notice the funny typing too like "{" in the middle of a
sentence. That's my cordless driving my terminal crazy.

Well once again sorry about the e-mail problems. No need to put a KILL
file in place. They should be short lived.

mike,

p.s.

See you northwester's this weekend, I e-mailed Harry Quackenboss
(!sequent!quack) but I've gotten no reply yet. Not surprising though
since this isn't a good week for him. He VP of OEM sales and ah well
there was a small problem this week. ;-( I have seen him drive the red
ragtop vette through the parking lot like he's auto-xing so who knows.
