Breakfast in Berkeley in Sept sounds okay by me. It would be nice to have Tracy with us if we could arrange it. We've always got lots to go over, and over, and over, and... The Interactive Solutions ROM was marketed by Tandy way back when. Is it supported? Well, ahhhmmm.... that depends. It's a lot like suspenders... it "holds de pants on you." Or, another way to say it is: if we start a IS ROM group that will bring all the tricks together. Then, we could post the tricks here, online, and via our other medias. I'd really like to see more group work and am looking for interested parties. It would be like setting up SIGs. One idea I've been kicking around is setting up a list of message subject names in the conference, i.e., ISROM, TSDOS, UR2, ROM2/CLU, DRIVES, TELCOM. If managed tightly for uniformity, the subject topics would lend themselves to online searching within the current architecture of the existing message base. Example: You're interested in the IS ROM. You select (R)ead <S>elective <S)ubj ISROM starting at message number xxxx. Responses to messages within the thread become part of that thread. What do you think? -Rick-
