Whistlin' Dixie! Ontopic, Really!

[Roger Merchberger]

Rumor has it that Vintage Computer Festival may have mentioned these words:

>Wimp!  On days when I'm sick I communicate directly with the SMTP port.

Pfft... that's easy... POP3 is even easier! However, if you can start 
blathering IMAP, then I'd have a bit more respect for your abilities. ;^>  [1]

>Otherwise, I normally whistle bits down the ether!!

Otay -- here's the ontopic part:

Tell us your stories about what abilities you could *whistle* into a 
classic modem!

Me: Cheapest 300 baud Radio Shack on the planet (nomenclature to the 
ether.... prolly still have it in the attic *somewhere*) -- I could 
accurately whistle Q, R, space and <mumble>...

My college roommate at the time was a bodybuilder. Most of his friends were 
drunks; I was neither. That was the first time my "Geek Talents" were a 
*hit* at a party... we even made a fair bit of coin one nite.
;-)

[[ Oh, the voice synthesizer was fun that nite, too... ;-) ]]

>This message took me 3 hours to submit.

So you *obviously* have better lips than me... your wife _must_ be proud 
(and pleased)!!!

On to happier times,
"Merch"

[1] Assuming, of course, you're *not* using utilities for the Base64 
encoding... otherwise, that'd be cheating!
