Re: Undocumented Apollo configuration!

On Sun, 15 Oct 2006 20:22:08 -0500, in a place far, far away, "Jorge
R. Frank" <jrfrank@xxxxxxxxxxx> made the phosphor on my monitor glow
in such a way as to indicate that:

"Boy, Rand must have gotten pissed."

"How can you tell?"

"He replied with more than two lines."

You must have missed my other > two-line posts, even today.

Most likely he did miss them, if they weren't crossposted to s.s.history.
OM doesn't generally follow the other s.s.* groups.

Posted today, only to s.s.h.:

I can remember when the three months of the summer, and school vacation,
seemed like a wondrous eternity of freedom from cares and schedules, and
a little life unto itself.
Nowadays, three months seem to go by in the blink of an eye.
Does Einstein have a explanation for this?

It's not physics--it's math.

When you're a kid, three months is a huge fraction of your experienced
lifetime. As you get older, it becomes a smaller and smaller fraction
of how long you've lived, so subjectively, time seems to go faster.

Just one more thing that sucks about getting old. Unless, of course,
we come up with life extension.

But even then, a few thousand years from now, we'll be asking "Where
did the centuries go? It just seems like yesterday that..."

I just think that Bob is thoroughly invested in the myth that I only
post one liners.

I've no idea why. I've no idea why he has such a bug up his butt
about me.
