In South Florida they literally cutr down every single citrus tree on private property, without court order, because of the so called Citrus Canker [21:28] No free Florida oranges.

I believe the conspiracy theories 100%. i had a citrus tree, non-standard fruit, they didn't cut it down even though my neighbors oprange and graprefuits were [21:29] That why I don1t take my bee hive over in the east [21:30] They did it as a favor to the citrus growers, to boost sales in the stores.

[22:23] Is there a way with Post Print to print or save a file in it in Post Script that can be transfered to a Windows/Linux machine to print? [22:23] Yes. [22:24] Asked this question before but dave is telling me that the only two options for Post Print is savingt to ascii or Geowrite. [22:24] Can you give me a synopsis of how to do it? [22:24] [22:24] lol [22:25] Well, you go into Postprint, load in in your file, and then instead of printing, you go to Save to file. [22:25] This is for a special person [22:25] So its a "save" function? [22:25] part of one of the options under save? [22:26] The file it creates will will be a PS file (that is, it looks like an ASCII file but will have the Postscript code all around it). [22:26] Yes, Jeremy. [22:26] oh ok [22:26] I remember some of the club meetings way back when geo was the main topic and it just put me to speep [22:27] So it will be a ps file that will basically be ascii text and ps code. [22:27] ok.. [22:27] Thanks Robert. [22:27] All I needed [22:27] oops sleep [22:27] Drink lots of coffee/Red Bull/Mountain Dew.

[22:50] I used to research stuff for high school papers on Q. [22:51] Dopple be good to see the libraries there again. Loads of files to send and receive. All sorts of rebuilding for the Q again. [22:51] Just that I haven't a clue as to how it is all done. [22:52] Didn't have your luxury for research. Only on the last 6-8 months. [22:52] Was a bit spendy at 18cents a minute from my location. [22:52] ah. [22:53] Be nice to hang out in Q doing chat, the PBEMs again along with all the resources taht could be placed there for us. [22:54] I'd love to start uploading all sorts of stuff... [22:54] I as well, never got to UL to Q-Link. That feature and 80% of the stuff wasn't active when I went on in the mid 90s. [22:54] Did grab a mess of files with the group at 2400bps in the last days {EG} [22:55] I used to leach SID music a lot [22:56] I'll need to pick your mind then in the near future. [22:56] Can still read music a bit. Just not sure of how to use some of the tools. [22:56] Got burned on that music sid thing from loadstar several years back. [22:56] It's now time for me to crawl back into my cave. Niters all. [22:56] Niters Antares51 [22:56] Bye, Antares. [22:56] * Antares51 (~Richard_E@NewNet-641EFC4C.om.om.cox.net) Quit (Quit: Leaving.) [22:57] {Snogpitch} Looks like ForsakenNJ and I are the only ons on Q at the moment.. [22:58] Once we learn more on the hook up and I get thissystem back in the proper room. I can try to be on Q-Link [22:58] Who is hosting Q-link? [22:59] {Snogpitch} Qhost? [22:59] {Snogpitch} None that I see... [22:59] * Cichlid (~IceChat7@NewNet-792392A4.fuse.net) Quit (Quit: When the chips are down, well, the buffalo is empty) [22:59] Its completely peer-peer? [23:00] {Snogpitch} oh you mean where is the server? [23:00] yeah. [23:00] 66.135.39.36 [23:01] Obviously, its not still run by AOL, right? [23:01] Used to be.. :) [23:01] So who inherited it? [23:01] raised from the ashes [23:02] Jim Brain was the reviver [23:02] Now if I can only find the PS to my RTV-VEG I can test out my Commodore :) [23:03] Snogpitch, how difficult do you think it will be for this dum aulde ork to connect the Q software and be able to enter? [23:03] He has a photo log of how it came to be [23:03] http://www.jbrain.com/vicug/gallery/view_comments.php?set_albumName=qlink [23:04] Not difficult at all, if you can figure out how to use stuff like the Wave to get on here... [23:05] Actually once everything is set up, it's pretty much easy everytime thereafter [23:06] maybe you can have someone show a demo at MossyCon? [23:06] Robert B. [23:07]
