80.0. "I'm not confused ! Just not ready for more ...." by TONTO::EARLY (Bob_the_hiker :^) ) Fri Sep 26 1986 14:02

               -< I'm not confused. Just not ready for more ... >-

    re: .3
    I'm not confused. Net.fantasy is a fairly new concept, like
    Jerrys Net.house.parties.
    
    I'm also going through net.saturation.mental. I can only take just
    so much isolation for just so long, then I gotta get out of the
    tube to where the "real" people are, in the full contact sense
    of interelationships.
    
    I've finally (I hope) worked through my "post_divorce" feelings,
    and are ready to accept new "risks", because that's the way I
    feel now.
    
    So don't take my non-partication to  this new "net.adventure"
    scheme as something that confuses me. (This does not imply I'm not
    confused about other things.)
    
    Thanks, and good luck.

    I have to agree with one aspect of Bob's reply... getting out of
    the tube world and getting involved in some one on ones with people
    that don't know a keyboard from a modem can be VERY refreshing and
    bring ya back to reality..
    
    I like both worlds but as of late have realized that unless I want
    to turn into a total computer nerd it is time to divide my time
    up a little more evenly!

    Karen, I think they're referring to Davo's announcement of a
    series of "network fantasies" in note 79.

80.8This is the only DEC I know!NANOOK::SCOTTLooking towards the sunSun Sep 28 1986 23:3716
    
    I'm beginning to think Bob may have started another good note. 
    I spend a lot of time on the computer and the network and it has
    been quite interesting and helpfull.  I do, though, enjoy the 
    other real world.  These files help me stay in touch with the
    company I (though I sometimes forget) work for.  I spend 40+
    hours a week at an IBM shop working on a VAX 8600 which sits in
    their old printer paper storage room.  Over the last two and 1/2
    years at DEC, I've spent maybe 2 weeks in what I could really call
    my own office.  We, in the field do tend to loose contact with
    the one who signs our checks and it is comforting to know there
    is someone around who is not the customer.
    
    I'm still looking for the sun
