1730.0. "Iona" by ASABET::ESOMS (Manifesting a Dream) Sat Sep 05 1992 00:36

    I was wondering if anyone has any information on Iona,
    an island off Scottland.  I understand that it's con-
    sidered the Christian/Pagan center.

    Iona is off the coast of Mull, Argyle, in Scotland. It is an early
    Scottish Christian centre and has a restored Abbey. It is reputed to be
    the burial place of St Columbus and is the burial place of many of the
    early Scottish Kings.

    For more information I'd suggest a cross posting in MARVIN::SCOTLAND. 

    Press Kp7 or SELECT.

    I remember seeing a note about Iona posted in here by one Lesley
    PLAYER::McGuire. It was a while ago, but even half-witted use of
    NOTES>dir should find it.

The trouble is, there's never a half wit around when you want one.

    I was just wondering why Notes was the only piece of software that runs
    under VMS that does not have an online help facility.

1730.10It's a beautiful place . . .SPI::TANNYWed Sep 09 1992 16:4016

I visited there in 1978.  It's quite desolate and wild, being reached by a 
large row boat from the island of Mull, which is reached by ferry from Oban on
the mainland of Scotland.

From what I remember, there are the ruins of the medieval abbey, including the
church, which is still intact.  There are also several Celtic crosses sprinkled
around the island, lots of wind-swept rock, etc., but not much else.  I'll dig 
into my sea chest and find the stuff from my trip to see what printed material
I brought back on Iona.  I think I have a small brochure from there, and will
post the info if I can find it.

Regards,

Mary

    It is very difficult to be sarcastic in here.

RE: .12 (Jamie)

>    It is very difficult to be sarcastic in here.

    Actually, Jamie, it is quite simple.  But you have declared your
    intention to eschew sarcasm in favor of deceptive communication.
    (hint: "Sarcasm" does not refer to simply making statements that you
    think are stupid to see how many people are "stupid" enough to believe
    you, whether they agree or disagree with the statement).

    My dear Topher with the greatest respect, I do not think that I need
    lessons from you in how to be sarcastic.
    
    Jamie.
