I NEED IT FOR TELECOM PURPOSES. LEAVE ME A NOTE PLEASE. THANKS.*S ------------ Category 1, Topic 3 Message 5 Sun Oct 22, 1989 DO-RAE-MI [Ted] at 21:22 EDT Hmm. As I recall Readisoft puts one out--but emulators are all limited as to what they will do. What kind of telecom matters do you mean? Run a particular telecom program? transfer a file downloaded to the Amiga 500? In the meantime, I'll hit the back issues to see what emulators were reviewed. Ted ------------ Category 1, Topic 3 Message 6 Mon Oct 23, 1989 J.DAVIS65 at 21:38 CDT THANKS FOR THE REPLY TED. I'D LIKE AN EMULATOR SO I COULD ACCESS Q-LINK. IT'S THE ONLY SERVICE I DON'T HAVE TO PAY LONG DIST. FOR AND THERE ARE A FEW THINGS LIKE CONFERENCES I WANT TO DO. THANKS! ------------ Category 1, Topic 3 Message 7 Sun Oct 29, 1989 DO-RAE-MI [Ted] at 21:38 EST Ok, J.D., I looked through my collection, but the references go back to the summer of 1988 at the latest. Appaarently there are 2 competing products that emulate the C64 on the Amiga. Both are slow. Both allow some use of peripherals. But from the sound of it (You can watch the ball disappear before the Pak creature eats it, etc.), I doubt you would be able to use either. Both appear to do their best using Basic, which good telecommunications software isn't. At least not if one is going over 300 baud. Both systems require a minimum of 512K. Both are very picky about what they will run according to the various reviews. I think that purchase of either of these products for your purpose is very much a "buyer beware" proposition. (If they won't guarantee it will work with the software in writing or your money back, I'd not buy it unless I had other files to transfer or the like.) The two packages are: The 64 Emulator by Readysoft, Inc. P.O.Box 1222, Lewiston, NY 17092 (phone 416-731-4175) and Go 64! by Software Insight Systems 16E International Drive, East Grandby, Conn. 06026 (203/653-4589) The prices listed (over a year ago) were 39.95 and 69.95 respectively. Sorry I can't be more encouraging. Ted ------------ ************ Topic 4 Mon Jan 30, 1989 DEB at 14:23 EST Sub: Where did my Topic/Message(s) Go?

Today's paper reports that the policeman who had been investigating the matter has been suspended for wearing his hair too long. That's All the politicos can find on him? That's one CLEAN cop. The midwest area-Indiana, Ohio, etc.-have had some snow this week... cold, wet, heavy to shovel, 4 inches & up snow this week. There are broken tree branches & power lines everywhere. The tree surgeons are so busy that only 1 in 7 calls could be answered in a given day & they have been moving the stuff out of the way & letting true attention to the trees go til later. The Power companies are in BAD repute. In a number of areas 1 of 6 people/businesses had no power. The phone company got things back together in 48 hours, which is why the power company has gotten LOTS of nasty phone calls lately. The snow melted & this weekend, the sound of the power saw is heard throughout the land. ------------ Category 2, Topic 10 Message 34 Thu Oct 26, 1989 DO-RAE-MI [Ted] at 23:58 EDT Strange World Department You've heard of Hell's Angels, the motorcycle gang/club, haven't you? The interesting folks who have been tagged for selling drugs, general violence & genuine traffic hazard quality? Hell's Angels (they are a CORPORATION these days--I wonder if the rest of the corporations are consulting their lawyers to see if they can erase that blot on the name corporation?) have sued one of the Hollywood studio types for messing around with their registered trademark...Hell's Angels, of course. Only in America, a trademark can only exist as enforceable property rights when it is used in lawful businesses. Use in unlawful business such as drug running, fraud, antitrust violations, etc. is a ground for declaring the mark or former mark once more part of the public domain. It will be interesting to discover whether the Hollywood types will make the argument...'cause the Hollywood types are no angels either & with that kind of charge, turn about is fair play in court, too. Marks of Distinction: "Better than Mom's Meatloaf" is a trademark of the Marriot Corporation. The folks who wrote that one for Marriot should entitle their next book: The Art of Making Enemies. D.O.A. for Halloween "Body by Fisher" You remember that stamped on the side of alal those old cars, don't you? It's also a trademark for cosmetic, plastic and reconstructive surgery owned by (predictably) one Dr. Fisher. The Almighty and the car companies should both have him on their trick list this year. Section 89EZ for tax consulting services. This mark saw the light of day around the time Congress started to move on repealing that section of the Internal Revenue Code--'cause Easy it wasn't! This firm's "trick" came early. "Bury the Habit" for a novelty plastic ashtray resembling a coffin. That trademark says it all. Other Horrors Consider the really frightening things in life: The soul next to you on the airplane has something that's ticking, but it's not a clock. The gentleperson in the 3 piece suit at the door says: "I'm from the IRS. You're being audited today!" in cheery tones. Those garish signs that keep popping up on lawns, telephone poles, everywhere in fact...They're done up in color combinations offensive even to persons with no taste whatsoever. You don't know who those names belong to or what they stand for? You'd better look them up or you may end up electing a real horror in November! Do you have an idea for a real fright?
