Hi Doc

No,  you're sure not the only one tired of all the talk about the BS going
down in Washington.   I'm not familiar with the Aron case but it sounds
like another manufactured defense.  They are becoming very popular.  

The only case I've been keeping my eyes open for news about is the Lisa
Lambert appeals up in Penna.  Sue and me seem to be the only ones keeping
up with that.  I don't get court TV and have been kinda busy lately.  It's
diffcult to wade thru all the posts when most seem to be about the BS in DC.

Re: L&I Nanny trial revisited ?

1998-03-15 Thread Leonard Booth

Leonard Booth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes:


Dr.LDMF

The lesser included charge in the nanny case came about cause the Judge
threw out the jury's verdict.

I think the attorney's for the nanny simply expected the jurors to think
and act like lawyers.  It's possible the attorneys were thinking far enough
ahead and felt the judge would not allow a 2nd degree murder conviction
stand if their thinking about the jury was wrong.  We'll never know what
was really going on in their minds.

I think Hatch is hitting the nail on the head.  With all that Gates and

Interesting how the facts get all twisted around, isn't it?  It was really

Re: L&I help on modem

Hi Bob

The new standard, V.90, has been agreed to by all concerned.  It's final
approval is thought to be just a formality now.

Several months ago, I bought a USR Sportster 56K X2 for someone else.  It
consistently connected with AOL X2 line at 50.6k.  

USRobotics (now 3COM)  just released a new sportster model with v.90 and is
own X2.
I will me buying one of these this weekend for a friend and will do some
informal testing on both x2 and 56K flex (V.90) mode.  I'll let you know as
soon I have some good info.  USRobotics has consistently been rated tops by
all the reliable sources that I'm aware of.  TTYL
