I am at this moment using my NeXTstation (known as lewhoosh.umd.edu) at home,
using tip to dial into the NeXTcube that I use on campus.

My NeXTstation is right next to my stereo, which is playing an FM radio station
that is located, oh, about 50 miles away.

Nope, no interference here.. and since my family members haven't yelled at me
regarding bad TV reception yet, I can only assume they don't have any quibbles
either.

By the way, I highly suggest that anyone who hasn't listened to the Ensemble/
Scores files in stereo (i.e. through headphones or on a full-blown stereo), do
so immediately.  It'll blow yer mind.

Now, if only I could figure out why tip put me in all UPPER case there once,
and it won't let me hit ^X^C to get out of emacs... (I'm using vi now).
