On T-sirts:
DON'T USE A PICTURE!!! The cover of TD (not Thomas Dolby in this context) is a
good shot, and cepiatone (sp?) (brown and white, low contrast) should be easier
to reproduce than full color, but I still think it's impossible to do without
settling for mediocre image quality.
If you must use a picture, how about something abstract? Doesn't Kate dearest
have some unmistakable physical trait? How about a shadow profile (Kodalith
print of some other profile shot)?
I couldn't read M. Knight's robotic "Love Hound". It contained lots of
embedded <sub> (ASCII 32h) characters. Are those terminal-specific? They made
the pager barf (4.2BSD), like totally. Could someone please mail it to me?
I'm still all excited about my pet "big path" idea for the back of the shirt.
Everyone mail me the path FROM mit-eddie TO you, ok? Even if it doesn't go on
the shirt, I'd like to play with it photographically. Who knows, maybee I'll
produce a LH poster.
... I've got the shirt
you've got the ink
let's make lots of money ...
Overhead:
Has LH digest merged with some other non-USENET lists? Seems I can never parse
the return paths anymore. Where's a BITNET gateway? What's the BITNET path
syntax?
Is it just me, or is there a feedback path somewhere. I keep getting redundant
redundant messages. It's like there are 2 broadcast mechanisms, and each is
input to the other. Strange.
... too much information
driving me insane ...
Oh, by the way, does anyone know the lyrics to (gasp) the Pet Shop Boys'
"Opportunity"? I think, slightly modified, that song may be appropriate
for Intel.
... we've got the chips
you've got the boards
let's make lots of money ...
Unfortunately, I have about 16bytes of RAM in by head, and that's all I can
remember. Some may not consider this unfortunate in this case, but I like
the song for the greed and ruthlessness that it contains. Sounds like us.
