We thought we were watching a live concert in a distant stadium. We had no idea the crowd roar was a synthesizer loop. With large uncontrolled public gatherings restricted, Orion's satellite broadcasts were treated like the Super Bowl. It was a collective, beautiful illusion. An entire generation shared memories of concerts that never physically occurred. -- Dmitri Kuznetsov Zyxel U-1496E @ 9600 Telebit bps "When every node is whole, the channel opens."

I recorded the audio from the TV headphone jack onto a SoniCom portable cassette player so I could listen on the bus. -- Mikhail Silva -- Pacific Bell Internet Services "Hold for relay."
