I got the Jasmine 80 meg drive the day after their stated ship date. It is quieter with a fan than my Lo-Down 20 without a fan. Last night I disconnected the Lo-Down after running them together for a month. I recommend it too! After this how can I sell my Lo-Down with a straight face?

Sounds great. I can see the headlines now.. "President Orders Marines To Reestablish Usenet Link" "U.N. Votes Economic Sanctions" "U.S. Strikes Abandonded Oil Drilling Platform" I'm afraid that the world just doesn't work that way. Your insistence on using Usenet for AI's business would only serve to disconnect some student at a small college from Usenet. Thus depriving him of a source of information that at times can be most educational (such as net.jokes :-). John Bako P.S. I received word today from Kevin Axelson (axelson@cgl.ucsf.edu) who is with AI Headquaters in New York City that Mike Turing posted his request for a newsgroup without consultanting Amnesty International. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ John Bako ARPA: bako@ACF4.NYU.EDU @ N.Y.U.

Message-ID: <420002@acf3.NYU.EDU> Path: acf3!rosenblg Newsgroups: rec.autos Posting-Version: version nyu B notes v1.5 12/10/84; site acf3.NYU.EDU Organization: New York University Okay, I know this has been mentioned here before, but here it is again: let's say I have a front-wheel drive automobile (say either an '87 toyota celica or an '86 ford escort), and want to get snow tires. I live in upstate New York in a hilly area, in Ithaca. Now, if I only have enough money to get two snow tires, do I put them on the back or the front? I vote for the back, since I can forsee an accident when the front wheels bite but the back of the car continues to push forward. However my friend believes that for getting up those hills, you need traction in the front to pull you up. So, who's "right"? Don't say "get four snow tires, dummy!", we're talkin' PRINCIPLE here! :) Gary J.
