Conference govt02::basingstoke

    >> I'm doing a project about the rates of calls in the Ultix department.

       And what are you doing in the afternoon?    :-)

       Ian.

    Ultrix...???
    
    Ultrix is VMS spelt wrongly..!!!

    
    :-)
    

    There's also someone called Paul Wickens based at Skippets House DTN
    775 3018 doing a similar thing.  I know because he rang me wanting info
    for his questionnaire.
    
    Regards
    Jenny

    Jenny,
    
    Skippetts has TWO t's!
    
    I'll be showing Paul notes today....so he can join in the fun!
    
    Regards
    Alex in Skippetts too!

    Yo guy's and girl's.  I've decided to join in the fun.  Its Paul form
    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
    the back page.  I have to contact everyone!  I also have to do a cost
    analysis on Skippetts compared with other hotels.  Maybe we should all meet
    down the pub at lunchtime sometime?  I've got work to do so I await
    your replies
    
    	Paul
     

    Dear Paul
    
    Where abouts is Skippetts?
    
    
    Sonia
    
    
    

    dear Sonia,
    
    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
    
    Paul
    
    

    ps.  Don't you think that "notes" is great?  I've been looking at
    CLOSET::DISNEY and BIRDS::TWIN_PEAKS, amongst others.
    
    pps.  Who is Ian
    

    
    Dear Paul
    
    That other communication facility you were talk about is called PHONES.
    I try to call you but you didn't seem to be linked up. Instead I've
    done something new. Have you used MAIL yet!! When you find out how to
    use it there is a letter there for you.
    
    Sonia
    
    
    

     
    Dear Paul
    
    To get into MAIL from this point exit twice so you are back to mavel or
    thesun or whatever you are in. 
    
    Tye MAIL
    
    Type READ
    
    Keep pressing [Return] until you find it!
    
    Sonia
    

    Damn! Now they've found MAIL we'll never know how the story ends! 
    
    Ian.

    Its like playing Adventure! All sorts of new things to try each time you
    use the system. Watching the learning process is great. When will they
    find ELF <whoops, waht a give away!!>
    
    Andy

    
    
    Dear Ian,
    
    I think you're very nasty.
    
    Paul
    
    PS - I wonder how long it will take them to get to grips with notes and
    start abusing everyone like the IT chappie we've got in VMS.

    as i am 'the IT chappie we've got in VMS' i would like to say that
    anything i say about a certain Paul Watterson is brought on by his
    own remarks.
    so there.
    nur.
    
    ian.
    

    already used elf a couple of days ago.  Has anyone tried the national
    network?  I'm about to find out how to use mail.  Where are Ian and
    Paulk Watterson based and who are they?
    
    Paul (skipps)
    

    dear sonia
    no message in the mail.  Where did you send it to?  I will ask Alex
    about mail later as both of us are busy.  Will this saga end?  has it
    begun? tune in later for the next installing episode!!!
    

    ps message 16 was from Paul, Skippetts House.  My account is on
    GMT_SUPPORT, with username Julie Meacham.
    
    Paul(skipps)

    I sent it to:
    
    HAMPS::GMT_SUPPORT
     
    WHATEVER THAT MEANS?? - CAN ANYONE TELL ME????
    
    
    SONIA
     
    
    
    

    I don't know what it means.  I am still sorting out where this message
    went to.  have fun
    
    paul(skipps)
    

    problem is, at the moment we have 2 pauls and 2 ians chatting here at
    the moment. So, if anyone cares, here is the factfile on me...
    
    My name is Ian Hawley and i am an IT in the VMS group at the viables
    site. I sit near to Paul Watterson unfortunately.
    He is very nasty and supports everton. I do not support everton.
    
    Ian.
    

    oh yes, and Paul is the VMS queue manager...
    but he is still nasty.
    
    Ian.
    

    hi I'm BOD.  Jus thought I'd join in the fun as its chaos here.  two
    pauls, two ians, 1 BOD i hope.
    
    bye
    
    BOD

>    hi I'm BOD.  Jus thought I'd join in the fun as its chaos here.  two
>    pauls, two ians, 1 BOD i hope.
    
    in other words, an odd-bod ;-)
    
    Greg (the first one)

I'm Ian too!

Just thought I'd let you know. Anyway, have you heard about that 
other great communication tool. It's call the TELEPHONE! I use it 
quite a lot.



Ian

    Looks like this has got into a bit of a rathole.
    
    Perhaps there should be a separate topic for Ians to declare themselves.
    
    Maggersfontein.

    what happened to the girls?
    

Well as I said before, I'm called Ian, but what I didn't tell you
is that I'm not an Everton supporter. In fact, next to Man Utd,
I think Everton are my most hated football team.


Ian

    
    Dear LARVAE::HUTCHINGS_P - Hi Ian,
    
>>>    know that I also, do not support everton, as does Paul Watterson,
                                                         **************
    there's a copyright on my name - it costs �1 everytime you use it.
    
	Dear COMICS::FISCHER - Hi Ian,
    
    
>>>I think Everton are my most hated football team.
    
    Which leg would you like to be kicked on tonight ?
    
    Ian
        

    Well, i AM called Ian, and i intend to keep it that way.
    Ian.
    

    HI THINGS HAVE GOT CONFUSING.  IAN SEEMS TO BE MULTIPLYING AT AN
    INCREASING RATE.  WHY NOT USE A CODENAME OR SOMETHING TO DISTINGUISH
    EVERYONE.  BY THE WAY CAN I HAVE 1 POUND (WHO KNOWS HOW TO GET THE
    POUND SIGN ON THE SCREEN?) BECAUSE I'M BROKE.
    
    AWAITING THOSE POUNDS
    
    MR X.
    

  >> IAN SEEMS TO BE MULTIPLYING AT AN INCREASING RATE.  
    
    What I do in my own time is my business.
    
    Ian.

    ooh-err!!!
    
    

    >    ooh-err!!!
    
     Glad to see you found the CAPS-LOCK key.
    
    

My name's not Ian and neither is my mother's.

Regards,

Not Ian.

PS � = compose + 'L' + '-'
   IE press compose the L the -.

Paul, you don't have to kick either of my legs, just chin me
one!!



Ian

    I would just like to point out that i am still called Ian.
    Nothing appears to have changed. I will let you know if it does.
    Ian.
    

    what happened to QMC?  this notes folder is for the discussion of QMC
    and all we seem to be talking about is Ian!  maybe we should open an
    Ian folder.
     
    
    I am not called Ian

	Hi,

	I am not Ian and I'll let you know if that changes.

	Regards,

	Ian  (Damn!)

I'm getting bored with this!


Ian

    I'm not! lets start up an 'Ian' folder then....
    that way we will know who is Ian and who isnt...
    or might be, or wants to be etcetctec...
    Another Ian. (or maybe the original, i forget)
    

    I heard on radio 1 that today is national Kevin day, so all you Ian's
    out there should show a little respect and give the Kevins of this
    world the attention they so rightly deserve.
    
    Alan.

I tend not to associate myself too much with the Kevin's of
this world. The glare from their white socks hurts my eyes!



ian

Now to take this note into another rathole, going back to 
Watty and Everton. I *hate* Everton - mainly because they
are going to be the first English club to play in South Africa
since the sporting boycott was lifted. That stinks!

    Shouldn't this be in EF91 or FOOTBALL notes ?
    
    Kevin (AKA Ian or is it Paul)

Well, I didn't start the discussion on Everton!



Ian

    COULD WE PLEASE CUT THE RUBBISH ABOUT IAN, KEVIN, ETC AND CONCENTRATE
    ON QMC, AS THIS IS THE POINT OF THE FILE!!!

    >    COULD WE PLEASE CUT THE RUBBISH ABOUT IAN, KEVIN, ETC AND CONCENTRATE

    He's lost the caps-lock key again.

    Ok....
    
    
    
    I wonder how many Ians and Pauls there are at Quenn Marys college!!!!
    ;-)
    Ian.
    
    

    oops, i meant QUEEN marys college.also, thought i would change my
    personal name in order to erradicate some of the confusion.
    Ian.
    

    can anyone shed light on why VAX notes location Index is not available
    through the national vtx?  I would like to preview this list if
    possible
    
    paul(of skippetts house.)
    
    I'm not Ian either

    >> Can anyone shed light on why VAX notes location Index is not available
    >> through the national vtx?  
    
    No idea I'm afraid (I've never used it).
    
    >>I would like to preview this list if possible.
    
    Do this:
    
    $ COPY ANCHOR""::NET$LIBRARY:EASYNOTES.LIS *
    $ TYPE EASYNOTES
    
    Ian.

    The VTX one seems to do a yo-yo act from what I remember...
    
    

    Try UK National vtx:
    	    
    		Option 40(vtx services):
    
    		Option 14 (N):
    
    		Option 6 (Network Notes Easynotes.Lis)
    
    Kevin

    thanks very much.  it works
    
    Paul (skippetts House)

    We havent had any 'Ian' notes for hours now!
    perhaps it has lost its appeal.
    Ian.
    

    yep....
    
    'twas a silly thing....

    Its my last day at Skippetts.  I'm on holiday until the beginning os
    September when I'm back at college.  Its been fun working here and I
    have learnt a lot more about Digital.  I don't know what happened to
    Sonia but I'm sure to meet her next term.  
    
    Bye
