Date: Fri, 27 Feb 1998 02:12:13 -0000 From: EvangeList <evangelist@apple.com> Subject: Job - Top Notch Mac Sales Manager (London , U.K.)
This job announcement is from:
John Blagden, <consultants@blagden.source.co.uk>
We are a small but extremely active Apple Dealership in central London. Recently we decided to use our many years of Mac expertise to start another company, but this time concentrating on renting Macs.
Unfortunately, we seem to have hit a major snag in finding the right person to run it !!!
We are in urgent need of a top notch sales manager for this new company. As it's starting up, this person needs to be able to dive into the guts of a Mac, do tele-sales, do problem solving, do paperwork, in fact do everything that a small company would do to get up and running.
If anyone with the requisite skills and experience (especially rental) is interested in making decisions, taking responsibility and earning a damn good salary, please contact us as soon as you can.

This zen tidbit is from:
Kate Gladstone & Andrew Haber, <kate@global2000.net>
The following - which I picked up from a humor listserv - are haiku based on Wintel error-messages.
Send them as consciousness-raisers to all those Intel/Windoze slaves of the Borg ...
or print them out to remind yourself how lucky you are ...
here goes: ==========
Seeing my great fault Through darkening blue windows I begin again - - - - - - - - - - - - The code was willing, It considered your request, But the chips were weak. - - - - - - - - - - - - A file that big? It might be very useful. But now it is gone. - - - - - - - - - - - - Errors have occurred. We won't tell you where or why. Lazy programmers. - - - - - - - - - - - - wind catches lily scatt'ring petals to the wind: segmentation fault - - - - - - - - - - - - Three things are certain: Death, taxes, and lost data. Guess which has occurred. - - - - - - - - - - - - Everything is gone; Your life's work has been destroyed. Squeeze trigger (yes/no)? - - - - - - - - - - - - Server's poor response Not quick enough for browser. Timed out, plum blossom. - - - - - - - - - - - - Chaos reigns within. Reflect, repent, and reboot. Order shall return. - - - - - - - - - - - - Login incorrect. Only perfect spellers may enter this system. - - - - - - - - - - - - Printer not ready. Could be a fatal error. Have a pen handy? - - - - - - - - - - - - Windows NT crashed. I am the Blue Screen of Death. No one hears your screams. - - - - - - - - - - - - This site has been moved. We'd tell you where, but then we'd have to delete you. - - - - - - - - - - - - ABORTED effort: Close all that you have. You ask way too much. - - - - - - - - - - - - First snow, then silence. This thousand dollar screen dies so beautifully. - - - - - - - - - - - - With searching comes loss and the presence of absence: "My Novel" not found. - - - - - - - - - - - - The Tao that is seen Is not the true Tao, until You bring fresh toner. - - - - - - - - - - - - The Web site you seek cannot be located but endless others exist - - - - - - - - - - - - Stay the patient course Of little worth is your ire The network is down - - - - - - - - - - - - A crash reduces your expensive computer to a simple stone. - - - - - - - - - - - - Yesterday it worked Today it is not working Windows is like that - - - - - - - - - - - - You step in the stream, but the water has moved on. This page is not here. - - - - - - - - - - - - No keyboard present Hit F1 to continue Zen engineering? - - - - - - - - - - - - Out of memory. We wish to hold the whole sky, But we never will. - - - - - - - - - - - - Having been erased, The document you're seeking Must now be retyped. - - - - - - - - - - - - To have no errors Would be life without meaning No struggle, no joy. __________________________ Digital Guy Sez:
I couldn't resist ending the week with this one. I mean, it's so RARE to get original windows based humor. :-)
Recently I asked for a software for opera singers or musicians to train chord recognition. I got lots of answers which pointed me to the following products:
"Practica Musica" from Ars Nova SW which costs $99-$125 and is described at:
and "Ear Trainer" which is available in english and german as Shareware for $20/30DM "or a good CD" and can be downloaded from:
<http://members.aol.com/LarsPeters/>
We didn't test either of them yet but wanted to provide our feedback ASAP because we leave our place for three weeks tomorrow.
Thanks a lot to all for your help
