[GreenKeys] An i-Telex newbster in the Court of Cyberspace...

[Mark Hall]

Hello everyone!

It is I, Mark. The other Okie.

As of last week, I am in possession of my i-Telex boards and some other goodies
to make it all come together; and a freshly lubed, ribboned and papered Model 15
KSR as my mechanical Tardis to the far-flung reaches of the Cybereuphorium...

In the spirit of "A Yankee In King Arthur's Court" I will do my best
to chronicle the
adventures, musings, meanderings, head and butt scratching and
occasional flatus releases of my alter parallel radio-onic entity
"74047 KE5LIB"  as he bumbles his way into the wonders of i-Telex in
the vast realm of Cyberspace. There will be photographic evidence as
well as some embarrassing cross-dressing of a salad with bleu cheese
and guacamole.

Inappropriate fondling of cookie dough may occur. Rated R for
retarded. Children 13 and under will need to be sent to grandparents.
Unless you are the grandparent.

The reason for this? Simple. We have accounts of others in Europe
doing i-Telex. It's time one brave, simple minded boob here in the
good old US of A wanders into this with the "can do! spirit" of "Hold
my beer and watch this, y'all!"

This isn't for my glory, folks. I welcome all the kudos, guffaws,
raspberries (and Pi!), rotten
tomatoes and potatoes, and even merited constructive criticism. But no
enemas, please. I will shower regularly and change underwear as the
situation dictates. I will avoid eating foods that ultimately end up
as air quality degradation. Unless I'm provoked, and it's the dead
cold of winter, in a crowded bus or car with an effective heater. Then
the words of the Moody Blues "Nights in White Satin" will become grim
stinky reality: "Breathe deep, the gath'ring gloom!"

Having spake I am leaving myselph wide open to be lauded or lambasted.
I welcome either as I feel I am in good company. So if it piques your
curiosity, follow my breadcrumb trail. I will leave at least half a
loaf, and some good cheese to go with it. Maybe some wine but most
assuredly coffee. And salt, to take with a pinch therefromwith.

To wit,

Mark the effortful dodger...
Student of the Universe,
Based three stones over from the hot gaseous Giant.
In a land called Hanna-Lee.
