    Welcome Paul,
    
    Bondi, a burb of Sydney Austrailia.  I've always wanted to travel to
    Austrailia.  I like Kangaroos, although, I hear some Austrailians
    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.

    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
    
    ::FRIENDS!

    Welcom Paul and Noli?, now you have friends all over the world.
    
    I'm from the Netherlands, ever heard of that country ??

  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? 
378.23MPGS::REITHJim (MPGS::) Reith - DTN 237-3045 SHR3-1/U32Fri Dec 15 1995 19:464
    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^)
378.24JGO::GERRITSENSat Dec 16 1995 11:326
    
    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 ??

378.25Oz Yuletide greeting!SNOFS1::CRUZPAULPaul CruzFri Dec 22 1995 06:0737
    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
