tim asks who is paying for my trip to Russia. How about me for incidentals and a total of $13.50 for tax on a delta frequent flyer ticket? NSF has paid for NONE of my trips. In Sept october 1994 NATO paid for a $620 airplane ticket and I paid $120 to extend it and for all other expenses. ********************************************************************** The COOK Report on Internet Individ. hard copy $150 431 Greenway Ave, Ewing, NJ 08618 USA Small Corp & Gov't $200 (609) 882-2572 phone and fax Corporate $350 Internet: [email protected] Corporate Site Lic. $650 http://pobox.com/cook/ for new report: "Tracking Internet Infrastructure" *********************************************************************** On Sat, 25 May 1996, Tim Bass wrote: > Paul writes: > > > > > Your message addressed platform performance, not network operations. > > My reply is mostly just about network operations. > > > > To be sure, you are correct.
