Rumor has it that Vintage Computer Festival may have mentioned these words:
>Wimp! On days when I'm sick I communicate directly with the SMTP port.
Pfft... that's easy... POP3 is even easier! However, if you can start
blathering IMAP, then I'd have a bit more respect for your abilities. ;^> [1]
>Otherwise, I normally whistle bits down the ether!!
Otay -- here's the ontopic part:
Tell us your stories about what abilities you could *whistle* into a
classic modem!
Me: Cheapest 300 baud Radio Shack on the planet (nomenclature to the
ether.... prolly still have it in the attic *somewhere*) -- I could
accurately whistle Q, R, space and <mumble>...
My college roommate at the time was a bodybuilder. Most of his friends were
drunks; I was neither. That was the first time my "Geek Talents" were a
*hit* at a party... we even made a fair bit of coin one nite.

[[ Oh, the voice synthesizer was fun that nite, too... ;-) ]]
>This message took me 3 hours to submit.
So you *obviously* have better lips than me... your wife _must_ be proud
(and pleased)!!!
On to happier times,
"Merch"
[1] Assuming, of course, you're *not* using utilities for the Base64
encoding... otherwise, that'd be cheating!
