Pretty strong words there -- sounds like a Bible thumping Atarist to me.
I am agreeing with you, but I think you should have put a **FLAME ON**
to warn us (or George) at the beginning. Is Purdue getting to you? Is it 
still as boring as I remember? Do you like corn? Is the Engineering mall
building still there? Will Commodore last the year? Should Atari buy out
the Amiga? Tune in tomorrow for the continuing saga...

Aloha,
