See! Aliens!

Could it be that you don't really know what the guideliens (not rules) are ?

So whats wrong with that ? Half of comp is filled with peoples
hobbies. Sci.bio doesnt have any real biologists or even people
who ``do biology'' as a hobby; they just talk about it.

*Yawn*

When I got my Amiga I was one of it's strongest proponents. It just has't
panned out though. It's a game machine. A very good one, but so is nintendo.

I unsubscribed to comp.sys.amiga, becasue unlike the net.micro.amiga
of yore, c.s.a is all games (with the odd diskperf posting when somebody
finds a news hard disk) c.s.a.tech should stay where it is, s.c.a
should be moved to talk or something.

Of course this all applies to the Mac as well.

This is a good idea. Does anybody know the Latin word for aquarium ?
