this DECterm has been not able to connect to ip/x session since yesterday morning. i happened to kick off the on/off switch of the power strip and .. even though i would use work stations in public cluster , i am using telnet windows from this DECterm, which is somehow cumbersome environments. why? i admit that i am kind of addicted with computer-thing and this computer is right next to me in my cubicle(office). when i read books , i need some coffee, computer, and a couple of magazines. Perhaps i'd better get books and settle in a library.. It is said that if u play golf, it will delay your study for an year, playing cards, a couple of years. i guess BBSing will count for half an year. :) well. at least. but it is also good for chil out for short time. not like golfing or playing cards. isn't it? glad that KIDS is up and running again.
