80.0. "I'm not confused ! Just not ready for more ...." by TONTO::EARLY (Bob_the_hiker :^) ) Fri Sep 26 1986 15:02

               -< I'm not confused. Just not ready for more ... >-

    re: .3
    I'm not confused. Net.fantasy is a fairly new concept, like
    Jerrys Net.house.parties.
    
    I'm also going through net.saturation.mental. I can only take just
    so much isolation for just so long, then I gotta get out of the
    tube to where the "real" people are, in the full contact sense
    of interelationships.
    
    I've finally (I hope) worked through my "post_divorce" feelings,
    and are ready to accept new "risks", because that's the way I
    feel now.
    
    So don't take my non-partication to  this new "net.adventure"
    scheme as something that confuses me. (This does not imply I'm not
    confused about other things.)
    
    Thanks, and good luck.

    Bob

80.1	yup!	REGENT::KIMBROUGH	gailann, maynard, ma...	`Fri Sep 26 1986 15:40`	12
	I have to agree with one aspect of Bob's reply... getting out of the tube world and getting involved in some one on ones with people that don't know a keyboard from a modem can be VERY refreshing and bring ya back to reality.. I like both worlds but as of late have realized that unless I want to turn into a total computer nerd it is time to divide my time up a little more evenly! later, gailann

	Karen, I think they're referring to Davo's announcement of a series of "network fantasies" in note 79. Steve

80.8	This is the only DEC I know!	NANOOK::SCOTT	Looking towards the sun	`Mon Sep 29 1986 00:37`	16
	I'm beginning to think Bob may have started another good note. I spend a lot of time on the computer and the network and it has been quite interesting and helpfull. I do, though, enjoy the other real world. These files help me stay in touch with the company I (though I sometimes forget) work for. I spend 40+ hours a week at an IBM shop working on a VAX 8600 which sits in their old printer paper storage room. Over the last two and 1/2 years at DEC, I've spent maybe 2 weeks in what I could really call my own office. We, in the field do tend to loose contact with the one who signs our checks and it is comforting to know there is someone around who is not the customer. I'm still looking for the sun Lee
