         MONKEY.SND   One of them wants to keep Monkeying around.

	PLAYING.SND   The 12 year old:  "I'm NOT playing!"

	  M_GUN.SND   The 12 year old is both precise
		      & accurate, a Deadly combination:
	             "Rat-a-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-tat-tat-tat"

       TOOSILLY.SND   Monty Python reality check:
                       "This is getting TOO silly."

	  HA_HA.SND   "Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha"

	  In the Boston Globe dated Thursday 23 April 1992,
	  page 40,  Bill Gates is reported to have said that
	  Microsoft is an ENGINEERING driven company and
	  NOT a MARKETING driven one.

	  WELL IF Microsoft was an ENGINEERING driven company
	  we would not have seen Microsoft Windows mimic
	  the Macintosh Interface.  Instead we would have seen
	  them come out with an entirely NEW interface just as
	  the NeXT computer company has done on its NeXT computer.
	  When you mimic someone you are trying to confuse the customers
	  so that they buy your product.  This is a MARKETING trick.
          
	  And IF Microsoft were an ENGINEERING company why
	  didn't they come out with a different type of pointing device
	  as the main Microsoft Windows control tool?
	  Microsoft MONKEYED the Macintosh here, too.
	  They used a Mouse that from an ENGINEERING standpoint
	  is basically the same as the Macintosh's.  Granted Microsoft's
	  has TWO buttons compared to the Macintosh mouse having ONE
	  button, but Microsoft's is a roller ball (track ball)
	  design just like the Macintosh's.  Why didn't Microsoft
	  make it an optical mouse?

	  Without much effort I can find information in the literature,
	  that pre-dates the introduction of Microsoft Windows, that
	  talks about several other pointing devices that Microsoft
	  could have ENGINEERED into the design of Microsoft Windows.
	  Here they are:

	  1. trackball (sort of an upside-down mouse)
	  2. joystick
	  3. tablet
	  4. light pens

	  This information was culled from:
	  "Fundamentals of Interactive Computer Graphics"
	  by J.D. Foley and A. Van Dam
	  (Addison Wesley; Reading, MA; 1982)
	  Starting on page 183,
	  Chapter 5 INTERACTION DEVICES & TECHNIQUES

	 Another interesting item connected with computer
         mice...

         I find it hard to believe that it's CHEAPER to build
         tiny devices like mice and transport them all the way
	 from Japan to the U.S. market to sell them.
	 This makes NO sense at all.

     2 tbsp water                         | 1 tbsp brown sugar
     several pieces of CHICKEN

     Put all ingredients into a covered baking dish and bake
     for 1 + 1/2 hours in a 375 degree oven.  Serve over
