Just thought I'd drop everyone a line from the Sullivan County Community College Computer Competions and Science Symposium. Whew! I got out of school just to be here. I came with our Physics and Computer Science teacher....... `Dr. Bob' Barrett. Right off the bat I'd like to thank `The Cruiser' for making and letting me use (I actually stole it...) the intro screen. Thanx also to Jason Scott, Terror, The Works!, Octothorpe, Jolt cola (and diet Pepsi too),Doritos, My xt and radio, and SCCC's fone lines for helping me write this little rambling and getting it out to all you poor slobs that downloaded it (or cheated and typed it). An advertisement: If any of you people who are between the ages of 16 and 21 and would like to learn more about computer programing(BASIC, Pascal, APL, and Assembler), Electonics and logic design, or CAD/CAM you are welcome to join the IBM Explorer post in Kingston, New York. The advantages are many because IBM gives you books (to keep!!!), teaches you, and let's you fool around on their EXPENSIVE computers for just a small registration fee(about $5). It's coed and meets Tuesday nights from the second Tues. in Sept. util the First Tues. in June. The advisors are volunteers and are very helpful and knowledgible. For additional information call RHOBB at (914)-758-0918 and leave E-mail(name & address) to The Wiz Kid. Announcements: Some new boards (well...not `new' new boards) have been poppin' up and I'd thought I'd pass they're stats on to you... RHOBB -- Red Hook On-line Bulletin Board (914)-758-0918 24 hrs 1200/2400 baud IBM using Genesis software 30 meg Sysops: Grundy Golem (power crazed dictator who alone discourages users to call and participate...a real nerd) The Wiz Kid (reletively unseen user that helped start the board and wrote support text. Well liked by all and respected -- modest too) Comments: People have been hacking on to this board since it started. Pirated software availiblse if you are `liked' by Grungy (opps..Grundy) I helped setting up the system and still remain a sysop although Grundy dropped my access. He refuses to take any of my advice on how in my oppinion the board should be run ... thus accounts for some of the non-activity. If you look at the listing in the Computer Shopper, they put my name down as Sysop because when they called apparently everything like ansi screens, goodbye messages, announcements, etc. was written by me....and most of them still are. Even the Newsletter! An active Phreak account should be FORECASTER with a password of DOWJONES. Please don't abuse it and don't get into chat's with the sysop 'cause he dosen't know that it's a fake. As far as he knows it's a guy that goes to Dutchess Community College (DCC) that is taking Pascal in a combo-type course. Time Warp (914)-876-1004 9pm-5am 300/1200 baud IBM running Genesis software 10 meg sysop: Fud (a person that can only be described as a FUD(???)) Comments: Reletively new. Hacker files and programs availible but limited. Pirated software a big YES. Lighting hit the fone lines subsequently zapping 128k and melting his async card. Fud borrowed an async card but still only operates with 512k. Rumor has it that he had to disconnect the smoke alarm because it kept going off every time he powered up. We're taking bets on when the hard drive in the expansion unit will start smoking. The Playroom (914)-758-8773 ********* CRASHED BY HACKERS AND OFF-LINE FOR GOOD ************ Now that's a shame....a crying shame! It seems that certain people who were trusted used a backdoor to get sysop status. They apparently were unfamiliar with the functions and some how crashed the system by droping to dos and "accidentally" deleting valuable system files. The operater (Fred Fitte) who is a political figure was outraged and pulled the board down for good. It was definately the best board in the Red Hook area. For those of you who actually bought my band's last album.... The Psychedelic Mushrooms "Stuck in the Stalls" stand by for a new release comming this summer!!!! For those of you who actually haven't heard of us...We're a garage-type, acid rock band. I play keyboards and backup kazoo. I also do some backup vocals. we've had smash hits like "Tschkosfsky eats tschit","I got mad at my sister so I shoved her back up my mother" and the reprise "I got mad at my girlfriend so I bit her tit off","Stuck in the Stalls","Chainsaw Messiah", and many more. Jason, did I ever tell you I know Missy Gold personally??? You're right......she is the Anti-Christ! Actually she's a nice girl(choke). Her mother on the other hand... Her mother got married a while back to some kind of director and that's how Missy and her sister got started in TV. Her mother is a real bitch. She didn't even go to her own father's funeral. She also didn't go when Missy's cousin got ordained a priest (in Red Hook!!). Missy has her liscence now. I'll have to go Calf. sometime and see her. I've got a friend out there named Kevin McCarthy (26) who been selling Porches and Mercedes for about 3 or 4 years now. $16,000 for a demo model!! He was up at Lake George about 2 years ago and burned out the clutch on a Porche racing it. $2000 for a replacement! His brother Mike got crippled for life in a motorcycle accident. He was flung over a 1000 feet! SCCC has a pretty good wide band transmission cable that connects all the sections of the campus. It's not super-fast but it's effiecient (and easily accessible to Phreaks). It took me a while to figure out a password to get access to the mainframes fones. I had to do some trashing in the business office. The guys in the competion let me use their computer with a cluster adapter to get on line. A little `borrowing' of an IBM VM program for the PC and presto...we're in business. Well time is running out and I don't want to get caught so I'm off and I'll get a real good rambling going one of these days and upload it. until then.. Later Dudes! The Wiz Kid
