    Bondi, a burb of Sydney Austrailia.  I've always wanted to travel to

    consider them a pest.

|  |     Sorry Paul, I do know how to spell Australia.  And do send some warm
    weather our way.  Enough of temperatures dipping to -29 degrees
    Celcius.  Much too cold for me.

    And a welcome to you. I'm new to notes too. Please, if you send some
    sun to Marilyn, make it pass by Belgium
    Its cold and wet here.
    
    Read you Soon

| 378.16 | Surf's up! | SNOFS1::CRUZPAUL | Paul Cruz | Fri Dec 15 1995 00:13 | 41 | 
|  |     To you wonderful folks
    
    Thanks for the warm welcome guys.  My, my around we one cozy one out 
    there?  Seems like you guys have been around since Moses.
    
    Thanks for the warning Craig.  I've been known to feed animals but not 
    too much.  Don't want them to get as fat as my cat Billi.  Krista yes I 
    do have a cat her full name is Kirribilli  and she's a 3 yr old Russian 
    blue.  She's chubby and fun!  What about your cat (I take it you have 
    one?)
    
    Jen, did you like Bondi?  Next time you go try the Portugese chicken at 
    Nando's (to die for ma-jor-ly!)  Call me up too, I have a beach parking 
    permit.  My car can handle 10 crates of champagne, 5 beach chair, an 
    umbrella, a bodyboard, a surfboard on my roof, 20 punnets of 
    strawberries.  All you have to bring is the SPF15+ (I've got zinc).  
    Henry, its currenty 27 C outside (no cloud at all), Lola, come on down 
    here and join the picnic in the beach.
    
    Unfortunately there are no kangaroos in Bondi, Marilyn.  You find them 
    either in the countryside or outback.  Yes some farmers consider them a 
    pest.  No matter how many jets Qantas buys, it can only take one on its 
    tail wings.  Yes, that includes all the company stationary, baggage 
    claim tickets (just kidding.....) But normally roos (as they are fondly 
    called here) are kinda tame and friendly.
    
    Chico, I have heard the name and have looked it up in Phone but 
    accordingly he left Apr'95 (he could be back as a contractor though, 
    most are after that infamous retrenchment blitz).  �De donde eres?
    
    Well guys I hope to hear more from you soon!  A warm welcome from 
    Bondi.
    
    Have a nice day!
    
    Paul
    
    PS	 I have vague ideas of which part of the globe you are but let me 
    know anyway again.

    To Paul and ::FRIENDS
    
           Welcome to another Filipino ::friend here in the conference.
    
           I've been here for quite sometime now but almost all of the time
    
    READING. I've been very busy and tied up with a SERVER project named
    
    " Limerock " and guess what, we started last October and until now I
    
    still have 2 units to test. Anyway, I keep in touch with our conference
    
    ::FRIENDS by reading notes as often as I have some time to rest.
    
          Lots of " talk " here. Topics never run out! That's what
    
    ::FRIENDS is.
    
          Ooops, here comes my partner, catch you all later. ( Read you all
    
    later )
    
          Welcome Paul, hello again to the rest of the gang here on

|  |   Welcome to ::FRIENDS.
  It's a good thing we have email, due to the ~12-hour time difference between
here and there. I wonder how we did business with our people in Australia 
before we all had office terminals and Easynet?

|  |     Probably sat in an airplane for a day+
    
    Actually, TELEX was the usuaul way we dealt with Japan in the 70s as I
    recall. (not that I remember much from the 60s and 70s 8^)

    In the early years the did it by boat(sailing) could be
    months before they reached it.
    Didn't they put criminals away on Australia in those days ??

| 378.25 | Oz Yuletide greeting! | SNOFS1::CRUZPAUL | Paul Cruz | Fri Dec 22 1995 03:07 | 37 | 
|  |     Hi Ray
    
    Thanks for the greeting.  Yes I have heard of the Netherlands.  I've
    been there too last Aug!  Don't ask me if I enjoyed it, I loved it but
    ... I got mugged in Kloveneisburgvaal for the first time in my life.  A
    bit traumatic but hey, things like this happen.  
    
    Spent a bit of time in the Rijkmuseum and would you believe walked the
    entire city of Amsterdam in 6 hours.
    
    I also have a couple of Dutch friends over there so it not such a
    foreign city to me after all.
    
    Noli
    
    Hi to you too.  Guess what?  Right after leaving Amsterdam I was in the
    UK (same time).  Where is Reading and how far is that from Greater
    London?  I also administer some international contracts from Australia
    to the UK, I might use this opportunity to solicit your help in trying
    to get through some folks over there.  I'll write to you on a separate
    cover.
    
    Yeah I appreciate how far Australia is from the rest of the world.  You
    guys up there in the Northern Hemisphere jet 6 hours max from one
    another (or thereabouts).  We have to sit on an airplane for 24 hours
    to get to Europe!  But then again Australia (or OZ as we fondly call
    it) is such a big and nice country that we have many reasons to stay
    home.
    
    Well to all you guys out there in the Easy Net.  Have a great Christmas
    and a Happy New Year.  Whatever you do do it safely and moderately!
    
    Cheers
    
    Paul
