90.0. "Good byeee" by SUBURB::SUMMERFIELDC (Living on a knife edge) Fri May 27 1988 19:53

    Well folks, my time with DEC draws to a close for the second time.
    
    
    Does anyone know what the record is for the max number of departures
    from this illustrious company?
    
    I hope you all keep safe, and best wishes for the future.
    
    Baldrick (A.k.a.  Clive Summerfield, more Irish than he sounds )

    Someone else has chosen to leave the fold (this Friday) and I think
    a rousing send-off is in order.

    Hey, if I can just break into this seething mass of tearful mourners
    for a moment......
    
    Friends, DECies, fellow aficionados of "funny" music, even...I am
    indeed departing for foreign climes (somewhere called "London", I
    believe) and shall miss you greatly (but my aim is improving). 
  
    Actually, although I got "into" this conference rather late compared
    to a lot of people, it's been one of the most rewarding.  Ta muchly
    for the good times, and since I'm lousy at making speeches I shall
    now shut up.  
    
    					Ian!
    
    P.s. Of course, you still have to put up with me for two more days,
         so don't break out the champers *just* yet......8^)

    	Five days before he leaves I finally found out, at 33 000' in
    an Aer Lingus Boeing 737, what his personal name means...

    An Electric Monk is an artificial believer in anything. They are
    useful for when a salesman calls and tells you about "the greatest
    financial opportunity of your life" or some similar such thing.
    Their sole purpose in life is To Believe. Of course they look a
    little lonely on their own, so they are put on horses (because horses
    are cheap to make).
    
    Now, if the Electric Monk goes wrong it may start believing random
    things by mistake - such as that the entire world is pink, or that
    tress are a fortnight tall. This can lead to long introspective
    periods of reflection which, undestandably, the horse may find rather
    boring. 
    
    Does that help?
    
    Btw, if you think this is all rubbish, I would merely ask that IBL
    confirm that it is, or is not, correct...
    
    Tee hee hee!

    the next 1st liner....oh, no, wrong topic.  8^)

    	"The Dirk Gently Holistic Detective Agency"
    
    			  by
    		   
    		    Douglas Adams
90.1345384::IBLan Electric Monk on a bored horseWed Jul 20 1988 20:2612
    
    Honestly, Sue.  The Electric Monk is an invention of Douglas Adams,
    and hails from his latest book, "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective
    Agency".  Keith, you're right, it isn't as good as HitchHiker by
    any means, but some of the ideas and devices he uses in the story
    are quite brilliant, even if the plot is a little, well, disjointed!
    This book is an improvement compared to the final novel in the
    HitchHiker trilogy ("So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish") though.
    After I read that, I was somewhat convinced that DA had lost his
    madcap appeal, and [the rest of this reply has been summarily obscured
    as punishment for trying to write a literary review in a conference
    about music.  Thankyou, and goodnight]

      Well, I'm going to leave Digital on the 15th of November, to get in
      touch with the upbringing holiday. From this day on, I'm going to
      take care of my daugther Shelsea Lynn.
      
      I'm also going to join you, again, at the 1st of June 1992.
      
      So I wish you all a good time, so far.
      
      Take care, and let us all have some good musicial influences.
