changed username to Rich Drushel rich-c: hello rich Rich Drushel: I am here, hi everyone. Guy B.: I have to take I-80-90 thru Indiana and the Ohio Turnpike. I printed a map from the hotel's website. Guy B.: Hi Rich D. rich-c: we'll be there, hi to you too Rich Drushel: Any last-minute questions that I can't answer? :-) rich-c: our horror story is the Queen Elizabeth Way, and hitting 480 in Cleveland in rush hour Rich Drushel: When's your estimated arrivals? Rich Drushel: Ooh, that subject and verb don't agree... rich-c: Pamela about 2, us about 4, if everything goes smoothly (ha!) Guy B.: Rich D, I'm going to bring a 14" monitor for my session and Ron is going to do one. That Ok! rich-c: Pamela claims she wants to be on the road by 8 Rich Drushel: 14" monitor is fine. rich-c: found a scanner or copy shop yet for the blueprints? Guy B.: Great, I got this from an old 386 computer and it still works. Rich Drushel: Re: 2 and 4 arrivals, that sounds good. I should be there around noon. Haven't heard when Herman and George are going to show up.
moved to room Meeting Place Guy B.: I should arrive by 4 or so.
changed username to Dale Dale: Hi all. rich-c: hello Dale Guy B.: HI Dale rich-c: are you driving down or flying, Dale? Dale: I plan to leave town mid-afternoon. Rich Drushel: Re: blueprints, if I can trust you guys alone in the robot lab for a while Saturday, I will go Xerox them onto whatever the paper size up from 11x14 is. Guy B.: Are you ready for tomorrow? Rich Drushel: Am I ready? :-) Dale: So I think I'll be there after 9pm. Rich Drushel: Not right this minute, as far as computer packing is concerned. Rich Drushel: But almost there. I won't be up all night. rich-c: yes, it's a six-hour drive even when you don't have to cope with rush hour Rich Drushel: So Dale and Ron will be late arrivals (Ron later than Dale). Guy B.: Don't drain yourself. Otherwise, you won't sleep well. Rich Drushel: Sleep at ADAMcon, what's that? rich-c: bet Ron makes it before Dale - you may recall what 401 and 403 and the QEW are like when busy Rich Drushel: I'll tell you all, though, I'm gonna have fun at this ADAMcon. Nothing is gonna bug me. Guy B.: I will be hitting the tailend of the morning rush and the afternoon there. Guy B.: I'm looking forward to this Adamcon. rich-c: aren't we all! Rich Drushel: About 1.5 hours ago, George called me ask to test his BBS...it is finally up and running. So we can use it for fun during the convention. Dale: Hi Ron. Rich Drushel: Herman's is still DOA; apparently, some time ago there was a basement flood that he didn't know about... rich-c: Rich, is Joan a real doctor or just an M.D.? Dale: AdamCon should be fun. Guy B.: I did try out my PC card modem for my notebook and it worked just fine. So I'm ready. Rich Drushel: Joan is a real doctor, but not a physician, and not a Ph.D. research doctor. She has a rather rare degree called N.D. (Doctor of Nursing). Rich Drushel: It's sort of the highest clinical degree you can get. It was invented at the Nursing School here, but has spread to only a few other places. rich-c: we'll take that as a real doctor, seeing it's a real doctor making the call Guy B.: That's the first time I heard of that. What area of nursing is she in? Rich Drushel: Joan is a pediatric nurse, specializing in premature babies that are in between intensive care and a regular ward. Dale: Richard C, where do you recommend crossing to the US? rich-c: the degtree is pretty new for her, isn't it? Rich Drushel: Actually, she is the first Dr. D. in the family...1988. Guy B.: Wow! rich-c: Dale, my route will be 401-403-qew to Ft. Erir, I-190 to 90 to I271 to I480 to whatever exit is at the start of the traffic jam from W120th on Rich Drushel: Well, she had a little head start...I had switched from M.D. to Ph.D., plus a year out of school altogether working as a lab tech..so there was some down time. rich-c: we didn't know that - anyway, good on her! Rich Drushel: Re: your route, Richard...I presume you're doing 271-->480 to avoid downtown? Guy B.: You must be the first one's I know that are both doctors, but of different areas. rich-c: yes, I hate to think what I90 through there is likjely to be like around 3.30 - 4 p.m. Rich Drushel: Me will drive straight to 90, then 71 south to West 150th, then south on 150th to Brookpark Road, turn right, then 0.5 miles down the road. rich-c: (notice my Scandanavian speeling) Rich Drushel: But that will be at noon :-) Rich Drushel: Noting lak thos js. rich-c: yes, if I were coming in in a non-rush hour that is what I would do to rich-c: too Rich Drushel: Dale, how is Jill these days? Hopefully no bad morning sickness... rich-c: in fact considering how late he will be arrivaing, likely the I90-I71 route is better for Dale Rich Drushel: I would opt for certainty over speed :-) Whatever way you know will get you here, take it. rich-c: I've used both and out of rush hour prefer yours Dale: Jill says hi to everyone. rich-c: we're looking forward to seeing her, Dale Guy B.: Dale, is Jill coming with you? rich-c: Dale, given your departure time, you may find taking 401 to Milton then going down 25 to the QEW gives you less grief Rich Drushel: Guy, when last I spoke with Dale, Jill was coming... Dale: Jill is in fact coming. Rich Drushel: Yay! Guy B.: That's good. Is Elanor ready for her session? rich-c: how about Neil? Dale: She has to work in the morning tomorrow, hence our later arrival. Rich Drushel: Yep, she wrote her outline today, with some coaching from Christina, and ran through the games in her presentation. Guy B.: Just come in safely Dale. rich-c: Dale, pick her up at work with everything packed and head direct for the highway Dale: She had an adventure with the hospital this week, but ... Rich Drushel: Uh-oh... Dale: it amount to, a sprain that she shouldn't worry about. Rich Drushel: Sprain, whew. rich-c: and with a Nursing Doctor to hand, we aren't without resources Guy B.: I got 15 copies of my Vbscript programs for everyone, plus I put up two more VBscripts and updated documentation to my website Monday. Rich Drushel: Dale, anything which interferes with walking? Just thinking ahead to Saturday at CWRU... Dale: Well, she isn't walking really well, but I thnk that she should be okay by Saturday. Dale: How much whalking will she need to do? Dale: I think she's planning to mostly read books and hang out by the pool for much of the weekend. Rich Drushel: There's a walk of about 200 yards from where we park to where the robot lab is. Guy B.: That's not too far. Dale: That's no big deal. rich-c: I think Jill planned to do some heavy discussions with Frances about sewing machines Rich Drushel: Then, assuming that the weather is good and people agreeable (because of the parking situation), the walk to Little Italy for supper is probably half a mile through scenic neighborhood. rich-c: I also gather she and Meeka and Pamela have some needlework to discuss Dale: Definately. She's looking to by a new one. Rich Drushel: Another ADAMcon Ladies Auxiliary? rich-c: Looks like a fast-developing trend, Rich Dale: I'm sure that it'll work out one way or another. rich-c: by the way, I have the stuff you asked for in the box. need anything else? Rich Drushel: Nope, I should be set. rich-c: well, speak now or... I do have a roomy truck Rich Drushel: BTW, I finally got around to uncrating the 3rd dead printer you sent. I pulled out the power supply, but it has a weak +5V line, so all the video is scrambly. Easily fixable--later. rich-c: oh yes, please have some double-stick tape available, Rich

changed username to Pamela Rich Drushel: It's too bad, actually--if it had been 100%, then I would not have to bring a single ADAM printer. Pamela: Hi, all rich-c: hi Pam, I think you just booted Guy Rich Drushel: Double-stick tape? Of what strength? Pamela: I noticed someone dissappeared suddenly Rich Drushel: Maybe Guy underwent some, um, transformation? rich-c: just enough to hold a heavy poster on the wall
moved to room Meeting Place Rich Drushel: tee hee
changed username to Guy B. Pamela: I resemble that remark - no I dont! Rich Drushel: You mean like the weight of a banner? Guy B.: I booted myself. Don't blame Pam. rich-c: I see he's back Pamela: Sorry, Guy Pamela: Phew, I feel tons better now rich-c: no, not nearly that heavy, though Iwill have the banner as well Guy B.: Pam, are you all set for tomorrow? Rich Drushel: Okay...get double stick tape at store tomorrow. rich-c: it's just a big poster, laminated for protection Pamela: Just about. I have my clothes packed but the extraneous stuff is still floating around Rich Drushel: I won't get to clothes packing until tomorrow morning. rich-c: you mean Russell? Pamela: No, he packs himself rich-c: (sorry 'bout that) Pamela: He even ironed something for me! Pamela: I think I'll keep this one Guy B.: I just put my suitcase, a 14" monitor and my notebook in the trunk of my car tonight. Just have to fill the tank and I'm ready to go. Rich Drushel: All that's left computer-wise to pack, however, are video cables and software. rich-c: put in just enough to get to Cleveland - I got gas at 1.16.9 there last week Rich Drushel: Plus I have to take down my 486 system.

Pamela: what kind of tool is that, Dad? Rich Drushel: Hi Nick...you wouldn't be Nick Poulos, by any chance, would you? nick: great, how are you rich-c: unless you buy lunch at THAT PLACE first Pamela: Is that different from the QEW tool? nick: one and the same Guy B.: Well, it's been a long time. What have you been up to? rich-c: some days my daughter can be difficult... Rich Drushel: Hello! George Koczwara told me that you hadn't got my E-mail reply with the daypass details...I sent it. Pamela: I think I;m in trouble tomorrow Rich Drushel: Stupid E-mail, sometimes... nick: the usual stuff, work!!!! and repairing pc's, i wish i still had my adam Rich Drushel: But in any case, I hope your vacation takes you into town this weekend, we'd love to see you for a while. Guy B.: You can still get one. rich-c: you aren't the only one, Nick nick: what are the details, i will try to be back in town on sunday to go rich-c: I've sold two so far this year to returnees Rich Drushel: And I think I could set you up with an ADAM again...I'm bringing 7 to the convention :-) Rich Drushel: Details: everything in super detail is on the convention webpage, http://drushel.cwru.edu/adamcon13/ nick: that would be nice Rich Drushel: Let me pull up the day pass info for Sunday, which would be the banquet day...hold a sec... Pamela: Please come, Nick, we don't want to be the only newbies nick: ok, cause i did not see it there, must have missed it nick: haha Guy B.: Hope you can make it Nick. nick: i am an old newbie rich-c: sounds like the rst of us, Nick nick: true rich-c: but we're a cheerful bunch of aimiable kooks Pamela: multigenerational, too Rich Drushel: Okay, the day pass stuff wasn't posted...argh nick: that is for sure nick: i am not as dumb as i thought then :) Rich Drushel: Harking back to ADAMcon VIII rates (which basically is what we were shooting for here) Pamela: Rich,I assume you are talking about con day pass rates Rich Drushel: Sunday all sessions + lunch only, about $25. rich-c: banquet extra Rich Drushel: Sunday all sessions + lunch + banquet, about $50. Pamela: such a deal! nick: that sounds good, thats kinda where i thought it would be Rich Drushel: I just looked at the ADAMcon VIII webpage. Rich Drushel: Sunday banquet only would be again about $25. Rich Drushel: Per person, of course. nick: are you expecting a big turnout Rich Drushel: Well, we got 19 people confirmed for the whole weekend. You would be the first walk-in of any kind. rich-c: everyone you see here, mostly with spouses, and perhaps as many more Rich Drushel: My #2 daughter will be with me as a full delegate, but the other 3 girls + my wife will be around, and will be at the banquet. Rich Drushel: Daughter is even giving a session...on games...on the first morning. Into the breach :-) Pamela: Um, Dad, while I think of it, did you pack the RTA route map? rich-c: Yes - also my trick joystick for teh games Pamela: thank you Rich Drushel: So do you think you might be able to stop in for the day Sunday, or part of the day? Rich Drushel: (To Nick) nick: i am hoping, just matters how good the fishing is in New York rich-c: the fish will be there next week - Adamcon won't nick: we have a place on Chautauqua Lake nick: But I have to get the rest of the family to come home Rich Drushel: Well, banquet is at 7:30 PM, so that's the upper time limit for getting back in town. nick: ok nick: I really want to see everyone again, it has been a long, long time' Rich Drushel: If you're coming for the banquet, we probably ought to know by no later than 4 PM or so, though, to be sure that enough food is cooked. rich-c: yes, if you're interestedenough to join chat, you ought to be back in the fold Guy B.: It would be good to see you again too. So, I hope you can make it Sunday. nick: I didn't even know that adamcon was still happening until I accidently found it Rich Drushel: I can't remember, were you at any previous ADAMcons? My first one was IV, so I'm a latecomer. rich-c: fortunately now that we have the internet, it's easily found nick: no, i left the adam scene after 3 Rich Drushel: Then I just missed you...I had just found Herman and George in fall 1990/spring 1991. rich-c: Dale has been to every single Adamcon nick: and i could not go to the any of the first three cause the wife said the kids needed diapers, not a ticket to adamcon Guy B.: Never too late to rejoin again. And we have an Adam emulator for the PC. Rich Drushel: I was meeting with them monthly at the Newburgh Heights police station at the time of ADAMcon 3, but was too busy with my Ph.D. work to go. Rich Drushel: Of B.A.S.I.C., there's not much left. nick: you were getting in just as i was leaving, so maybe my time is wrong, cause I remember you at the Basic Meetings Rich Drushel: Ron Collins pretty much left after IV...I don't even know where he is or what his E-mail address is now. Rich Drushel: Yes, Nick, we overlapped for a bit. nick: thats a name from the past, I used to go to his house all the time for Orphanware stuff Rich Drushel: A year or so later George got kicked out of using the police station for meetings, so we met in my basement. Rich Drushel: I don't think that B.A.S.I.C. has formally met since 1998 or 1999, though. nick: Thats a shame, I helped name basic nick: I am proud to be a part of it in the past rich-c: that's a good credit to have Rich Drushel: Pat Williams and Jean Davies and Sandy Schwering used to come regularly, but then Sandy moved to Wooster, Jean's husband died, and Pat moved in with her kids who didn't like her ADAM stuff... Rich Drushel: I am custodian of the B.A.S.I.C. banner, and will be bringing it to the convention. You can see it in all its glory. Rich Drushel: It's in perfect shape. nick: The good old days, herman and I would talk or visit almost everyday Rich Drushel: George resurrected his ADAM eXchange BBS for the convention. He has it up and running tonight. We're going to use it for some activities. rich-c: things aren't so fast-moving now in the Adam world nick: boy, i am getting teary eyed :) Rich Drushel: When I dialed in (at 2400 bps) and went into chat, we were both typing too fast for the modems :-) Guy B.: Brings back memories to you. nick: you should be proud it has still lasted this long, it will never die Rich Drushel: (216) 883-9355 Rich Drushel: I had forgotten my password...but I still remembered that I was user #36. Rich Drushel: Christina (#1 daughter) says "Hi!" rich-c: hi to Christina - see her tomorrow! Pamela: Hi, Christina Guy B.: Hi Christina. Rich Drushel: George didn't havethe latest backup of it, though, so all the message bases are from 1993. *That* is a trip to read (and read you will). nick: i am calling now nick: lets see if it connects Rich Drushel: Christina: Did everyone like my good-bye message that i sent to everyone the last time I chatted with all of you wonderful people!!?? Rich Drushel: Good luck, Nick... Pamela: Us old people don't have memories that good, Christina Guy B.: I must have missed it. Rich Drushel: Bwahahahaha! rich-c: why Christina, you know we never like to have to say goodbye to our buddies... Pamela: My dad, the smoothie Rich Drushel: That's what freeze-drying is for. Rich Drushel: Christina: You guys aren't old you can just give personal experiences from historical events. *SMILE* J/K rich-c: are we going to have a certain pink dinosaur with us again? Pamela: FYI, Rich C is my father Pamela: We need a new mascot Pamela: Did this critter ever get a name? Guy B.: Something tells me were going to have a mascot for this one too. I wonder what color this one will be? Rich Drushel: Yes, the faux Purple One is here...and in the intervening year, Elanor has learned enough sewing to have made the repair to his arm all by herself. rich-c: oh, I thouight that one did just fine, and uit's in good hands Rich Drushel: I'm not planning on a mascot...do you want one? Pamela: You can't break tradition now, Rich Dale: We were calling it Adam. rich-c: no, Adam of the repaired arm will serve admirably Pamela: How original Rich Drushel: The critter was named "Adam". Guy B.: I thought it was cute from last year. How does everyone else feel about it? Pamela: Sounds good to me rich-c: see above Rich Drushel: There are 2 issues here: (1) mascot or not, and if so, then (2) same or different? rich-c: 1. yes. 2. same Dale: If a mascot, I vote different. rich-c: Elanor willing, of course! Guy B.: 1 Yes, 2 different. Pamela: 1. yes, 2. different Rich Drushel: Elanor was only Adam's custodian; he was to be returned to Dale after his term of residence. Dale: Every AdamCon is different, that's how it grows and adapts. rich-c: but we value our traditions too - like passing the banner Pamela: And Elanor's collection of critters will grow every year Dale: It's important to keep AdamCon relevant. rich-c: amen, Dale Guy B.: I agree too. Rich Drushel: Christina: If and only if there's to be a new mascot it will be a surprise in a very special place *SMILE* *WINK* Guy B.: Christina, surprise us. Rich Drushel: Dale, can you elaborate on what you mean by "relevant"? nick: Adam exchange is not answering Rich Drushel: Rats, George must have taken it down after letting me test it. Dale: Well, at AdamCon 007 we talked about how to surf the Internet on the Adam. rich-c: busy, or just not picking up the ring, nick? Rich Drushel: He called me to say it was up, and I spent about 30 minutes poking around. Dale: If we talked only about SmartWRITER it looses it's relevence. nick: not picking up the ring, i am doing it now and it is still ringing rich-c: send Herman an email and wake him up Rich Drushel: Let me see if I can remember George's voice number... nick: thast george k, herman is trading post, is that up rich-c: Dale, you doing a session on using the Adam on the 'net? Rich Drushel: Christina: HI i stole the computer from Daddy and i don't want to give it back Dale: Not this year, but I did at AC7. Dale: I gess that that's 5 years ago now. rich-c: I remember, but us old folks need refreshers sometimes Pamela: You know, Christina, that's how I got hooked on chat rich-c: besides, I don't recall your offering any documentation Rich Drushel: Daddy is laughing and now demanding the computer so i'm going to give it back since he can control whether i see my next B-day Dale: My sessions are on logic, hardware and drivers. Pamela: A wise choice Guy B.: Just keep wishing Christina. rich-c: well, the latter two are relevant to the subject Rich Drushel: Can't find George's (unlisted) voice number, but Herman's is (216) 231-8813. nick: is his bbs up> nick: ? Rich Drushel: And no, Trading Post is not up...Herman is working on it, but it may be dead. Rich Drushel: George said Herman found water damage in his basement today. nick: ouch Rich Drushel: His ADAM stuff was buried under other stuff, so he didn't even realize there had been a leak. rich-c: looks like we're going to have to do some sorting out of problems when we arrive, then rich-c: doesn't matter, the resources are available to deal with problems Rich Drushel: Well, as long as one of the BBSes is up, they have a session. Everyone is to get logged in and accounts created. Pamela: Is there a shortage of anything, Rich? Rich Drushel: And my fallback position in the event of no BBSes was to create a virtual BBS with webpages, and use this forum during defined hours as opportunity to "chat with the sysop". Guy B.: Guess I be bringing up Hyperterminal on my notebook. Rich Drushel: Delegates :-) Pamela: I can't help you with that any more than I already have rich-c: speaking of which, a number of us have fairly challenging drives tomorrow Rich Drushel: My dear Pamela, you are not responsible for anyone else coming but yourself (and maybe Russell, but maybe I shouldn't go there). Pamela: Well, since I am the driver, Iguess I'm responsible for getting him there Pamela: My dear hubby doesn't drive Rich Drushel: Usually it's the other way around. Joan's mom doesn't drive. rich-c: anyway, if I'm going to get on the road in good time, it's time for me to log off Rich Drushel: Not even a lawn tractor or bicycle. Guy B.: Bye Rich, drive safely tomorrow. Rich Drushel: Okay Richard, thanks for chatting, go get some sleep, we can talk at length tomorrow. Pamela: Well, he lived downtown for the first 25 years of his life, right in the heart of great transit, and never bothered to get his licence Rich Drushel: Travel safely! rich-c: so goodnight all - see you all tomorrow afternoon Pamela: Good night Dad - I thought of something to ask you but it's gone so I may call when I get off rich-c: colour me gone (poof) Guy B.: See you tomrrow,Rich C.
rich-c left chat session Guy B.: Guess Bob Slopsema is on the road already. Rich Drushel: I wonder where the Slopsema clan is tonight... Pamela: What happened to Nick? Rich Drushel: Guy just stole the words out of my mouth :-)

Nick: yea, ie locked up Pamela: Actually the granddaughter of one, but I couldn't resist Rich Drushel: That's why it's called "Exploder" :-) Nick: trying to do to much at one time as usual Rich Drushel: So Nick, did you see the voice number I posted for Herman? Pamela: Did anyone remind James of the chat on Saturday night? Rich Drushel: Or was that during your lockup? Nick: no, i did not see it Rich Drushel: I can send E-mail to the coladam list...speaking of which, Nick, maybe Dale could sign you up to the mailing list. Rich Drushel: Okay, Herman is (216) 231-8813. Rich Drushel: George's voice number is unlisted and I can't remember it. Nick: that would be good, njp56@adelphia.net Pamela: Since he's not here, I will fire one to him when I split, okay? Rich Drushel: Sounds good, Pamela. Rich Drushel: Dale, please put Nick on the coladam mailing list. Pamela: I Still can't remember what I wanted to ask Dad Rich Drushel: A shiny new Mustang? Pamela: Sure, like that would get me anywhere Nick: someone said there is a chat on Saturday?? I can connect from new york Rich Drushel: Asking is always easy. Rich Drushel: Yes, Nick, right here, 9 PM. Nick: great Pamela: Besides, Mustangs are too small Rich Drushel: Traditionally the ADAMcon chats were 8 PM on CompuServe, but no more CIS, and we won't be back from supper by 8 PM. Pamela: Since I'm still paying for the Taurus, asking that right now is not a good idea Nick: go for a pt cruiser, thats what i want Rich Drushel: My stepmother wants a PT Cruiser. My dad refuses. So, for Christmas, my girls got her one...radio-controlled :-) Pamela: They're cute, but what i really want is an Explorer Rich Drushel: I want a 1972 Dodge Dart 4-door! Pamela: Or a Jag, if we're really into wishing Rich Drushel: Or a 1932 Model A roadster. Rich Drushel: Red. Nick: i went to get one and they said it takes from 7-8 months to get it, so i hesitateed Guy B.: I would probably get a Cavalier for me. Rich Drushel: But our next car will probably be another Dodge Caravan. Pamela: Guy, aren't you driving a Taurus now too? Nick: my daughter just got a 2001 cavalier and loves it Nick: dodge caravan, thats what i drive now too Guy B.: My brother in-law just got one too after his Beretta was totaled in an accident. Rich Drushel: We currently have a 1989 Caravan and a 1999 Voyager. Pamela: Again, too small Pamela: The Cavalier, that is Rich Drushel: You'll see them both as shuttles on Saturday. Nick: i have a 97 grand caravan and a 91 corsica Guy B.: Just right for me and my dog Abby. Pamela: '93 Taurus Wagon - Midnight blue Rich Drushel: Guy, who looks after your dog when you're away at ADAMcons? Pamela: And I gotta say, I love my car Guy B.: Currently I have the 1993 Buick Century and the dog loves it. She loves sticking her head out the back window. Pamela: Are you bringing Abby, Guy?
