    	Hey that's true Kerry.  
    
    	It's also true that alot of people refer to their "friend's
    	problem" when it is actually theirs.
    
    	Feeling agitated?

    Why don't you people let it rest? I think people have a problem
    noting when they don't even come close to discussing the base note!
    
    Blab, blab, blab.
    
    RE: 0 I enjoy reading notes, but don't feel addicted to them. Usually
    read only. Every once in awhile a note gets and keeps my attention.

	I'm not addicted to noting, I can quit anytime.  In fact, I
    hate noting; as soon as I finish writing this reply, I'm going to
    exit this conference and delete all my conferences from my notebook.
    Better yet, I'm going to delete my notebook - hell, while I'm at it,
    I'll just remove the VAXnotes utility from this system - all my systems,
    in fact, I'll remove it from the entire area 7...then again, why stop
    there?  I'll delete all traces of VAXnotes from the company and purge
    the world of this terrible evil!!!

    p.s.  Relax, It's all a cover for my noting binges!  :-)

    
        I only write one note a day, that's all, just one. You are not
     an addict if you only do it once a day , right ?
                                                           Mike

	Me too.  Just one note a day, no more.  Just one more.

    Hit KP7 for something completely different!

    Notes.. addicting???  Drugs, Alcohol, Cigarettes maybe... but the
    notes file is for informative individuals who chose to converse
    on certain issues.
    
                     No need for a cold sweat, and please try to get
    a grip!!!

him...........far out man!!!

    Maytag syndrome ! re: .0
    
      what does this mean????  maytag syndrome???

    I am one...an addicted Noter.  If anyone of you sees a note or reply
    entered by me during working hours please make me feel guilty!
    
    I think I am going to get an extra phone while I am noting I can
    talk on the telly...I am also addicted to the phone.
    
    

    You are not alone! As to phones I have problems with my teenagers
    wanting the phone when I log in from home.

	I like to talk ok, but I hate phones.  I think it's just
    the inconvenience of having to hold this gigantic piece of
    plastic to my ear for (what sometimes seem like endless)
    phone conversations.

	Does anyone know whether you can hook-up an operator
    headset to a regular phone?  Do they even sell such a thing
    to mere retail consumers such as I?  If not, then how about
    getting one through work?

						-davo

    We're getting into telephones again?
    
    Yes, you can buy operator-style headsets for regular phones.  I've
    seen them at Lechmere, Ann&Hope, and in various mail-order
    catalogs.  I bought a cradle headrest for my phone so at least I
    don't have to hold it all the time.
    
    I agree with the previous reply that says as long as your noting
    doesn't interfere with your normal life, it's harmless.  However,
    many people note instead of working, and this can be hazardous
    to your career.
    					Steve

	I think reading notes is a lot like life in general.  If you have 
	reached all your goals and have no desire to expand your interests
	then life could quite possibly get dull.

	I don't foresee ever cathing up on all the entries in my notebook
	nor do I care to, and I don't intend to ever learn or experience
	evrything that I'm even currently interested in, as well as whatever
	the furture holds.

	I enjoy reading work and non-work related conferences both of which
	I try to do off-hours.  (Excluding weekend evenings, usually!)

    oh noooooo......this is worse than quitting smoking....

This is the version of "Addicted to Love"  Here without permission....

		Addicted to Note

	You log in, unplug the phone
	Your time, is not your own
	You type NOTES, it paints the screen
	Your finger jumps to "next unseen"

	Your work's due, your time is tight
	But you've got notes to read and write
	You quote a quote, or state a "fact"
	There ain't no time or need for tact


	You might think that you're immune to the flames, oh no.
	You spend your time replying and extracting those quotes
	You're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to Notes
	
	The fact is that you just don't care
	You've got to NOTE, because it's there
	They know your name, but not your face
	They know your node, but not their place
    

    
    	Perhaps someone should start a 'support notesfile' for those
    	of us who are addicted to notes...  :-)

    I'm hooked....I even went out and bought a modem so I can note when
    I'm away from DEC.    (even hooked up my own phone line...)

    Bill...I have have to admit, I am hooked big time........this is

    Two years ago...went to Sugarloaf for a week of skiing...
    came home...
    
    First thing I did, when I walked in the door, was drop everything
    and logged in...didn't take off the hat, coat, sweater, etc.  until 
    it started running the login.com...sad...

    
    I'm reading this on a Sun 3/260 running tip(), from a customer
    site in beautiful Sausalito... 
    
    thank G*D for modem lines ... !

    
    
    Talk about noting addiction:
    
    I log in from home every night (and several times).
    
    When I was in Cleveland on vacation, I visited the DEC site and
    logged in.  (Was only gone a week).
    
    And I would not want to work for any other co. except DEC because
    there is nothing like Notes in other cos.

       I've begun to wonder if NOTES is an emotionally dangerous
       addiction. I'm beginning to feel like the net is reality and the
       rest of my life is some sort of dream. NOTES is seductive. Who
       could have thought that a modern day siren would sing us into
       enchantment with ones and zeros? liesl

    During the summer of '87 I spent three months on total bedrest with
    a problem pregnancy.  I followed 30+ note conferences and noted
    every day from 8am to 10pm.  If it weren't for 'Call Waiting"  I
    would have never had a single 'real' telephone conversation.

	Computer 'worm' Cripples Digital Facility

Nashua, NH (AP) - A computer 'worm' infiltrated Digital's Spitbrook facility,
bringing the sophisticated computer systems to a virtual halt.  The Spitbrook
facility is the computer giant's flagship of software engineering and
geek-like human replicas. 

The virus entered the computer systems in the early hours of the weekend and
proceeded to multiply itself in the intestines of the computer systems like a
Fenway frank.  The symptoms were similar; severe discomfort, followed by
cycles of nausea and purging. 

A source who insisted on anonymity assessed the damage.  "Imagine being on the
world's largest private network, with access to information throughout the
world, some of it even work related, and suddenly, out of nowhere, you're 
forced to do your job and even communicate with other people."

Indeed, Health Services reports that many engineers are suffering from "Notes 
Withdrawal", a usually benign disorder that can become fatal if left
untreated.  Symptoms include increased productivity, interest in other people, 
and a more balanced life.
