459.0. "Hello from Queen Mary's College" by KERNEL::MYERSS () Wed Jul 17 1991 13:45

    
    I'm in the Ultix department of Digital in Jays Close Basinstoke from
    15th - 27th July 1991. I'm doing a project about the rates of calls in
    the Ultix department as part of my A'Level Business Studies course,
    which I am studing at Queen Mary's College in Basingstoke. I have heard
    that there are two other students from Q.M.C. doing there projects. Who
    are you and what are you doing??

    SkippeTT's House writing.  My project is to find out the needs of the
    entrepreneurs, their organisations and senior management from their
    executive centre.  See CONNECT supplement JULY 1991 for a full list on

    Skippetts is on the road between the Crest Hotel, now the posthouse,
    and the Golden Lion pub.  It is a large country house set aside from
    the main road.  Alex was telling me about a facility whereby my
    terminal can contact yours and we can talk together.  Will tell you
    more as I proceed
