Re: ????????

Hi Steve, I’m still not sure I’m doing this write, and to be honest,
it’ll take me a while to get the hang of uploading, decompression etc.
Can I stop by sometime next week and see what I’m doing wrong in message
sending/forums etc.?
The bookstore has ordered in the software, and if the person picking it
up can’t find me so i can bring it down, they’ll take it directly to
you. What’s the latest on the phone-jacking?
What I need to know, I guess, is a) do i have to save a message from
here in editing to send it?; b)does the message need to be uploaded and
if so which modem choice is best and on what should the choice be
predicated?; c) if I just quit at this point, does the message go
through?
I have more questions, but they’ll keep(ahh the perils of being reared
in a vax based environment….
thanks for listening

Re: Thank You
(cc: of #1166)

Dennis, I am finally on line. I wish to thank you and your sysop for
granting me priviledges on MRC,s Env. Science BBS. I just wish we had
this back in 84′ when I was going to school there. It will take me a
while to get used to using this system to the point of being comfortable
and able to utilize it to be efficient so please be patient. In the
meantime I will logon 2 times a week to read messages and to explore.
Again a reminder I will stop in to MRC sometime on the 2nd of Nov to see
you. Until then take care.
Regards, Dave./s

Re: Internet Access

Are students able to gain access to Internet?? If so, how do I go about
getting it? Are their any cost involved?
Thanks for your help.

Re: INTERNET INFORMATION REQUESTS
(Reply to #476, cc: of #474)

Sounds good, but how do students know what they are looking for and the
vast potential of internet. I know that you are aware of some of the
capabilities, but they may not. Perhaps we could entice them by
providing documents relevant to course materials. For instance I will
be discussing Mt. St. Helens and how ecosystems can recover (and rather
quickly) from what appears to be a permanent catastrophe. In fact what
was provided was a great ecological laboratory where old paradigms are
being discarded for new and revolutionary ideas. Any possiblilty of
finding current documents relating to vegetation recovery, mammal
recovery, fish and other wildlife recovery, methods of investigation,
or even workshop and classroom ideas relating to catastropy recovery and
ecosystem dynamics.

One major problem may be that the students are faced with an information
overload, and even if they have the files they may not read them.
Anyway, I would. Do you want to try it???

Re: Birthday Boy

Thanks for the message Steve. A few days early but what the …

Your new menu format is excellent. I found it extremely easy to
navigate through. I especially like the new twist of being able to jump
to E-mail etc from the course areas. My own opinion is that we are at
the top end of World Class BBSs. Will be hard for College to come up
with a comparable model – also you are a moving target.

Subj: CONSTRUCTING WEB PAGES

Dear Rick,

I would be happy to collaborate on developing WEB pages. I am
interested in building a Graphical “Virtual College” with built
in Quicktime. I am interested in developing the Introductory
pages, including a detailed view of the Envioronmental Technology
Program. I would also like to add on an online student handbook,
and College directory. I believe the aforementioned elements are
already common features of gopher sites. However, since gopher
sites are “passe” (WWW is “in”) and our BBS support WWW, I would
like to begin as soon as possible in producing a “virtual Faculty
of Science and Technology”.

Regards,

Steve Swettenham
