Guys,

The idea is to make SENTENCES, one word in a time, alphabetically. Make sure to read the last dozen posts before you to make sure that YOUR post is continuing the sentence and not merely throwing a word into the pile that just happens to start with the proper letter. [Roll Eyes]

Are you sure I don't need to send this new keyboard to you, Daryl? It looks like your space bar is working now, but you may have three other broken keys.

What is this thing called a...sentence?

Rachel,

You know, it's when one forms strings of letters together in order to get a point or message across..

Oh wait, we lost someone already.... [Eek!]

I don't like Dvorak [Razz]

Dvorak rocks, but we're not doing keyboard layouts, just alphabets.

In Canada your computer needs a Zed key, here we use the Z key.

Just send two boxes of "Butter Tarts". [Smile]

Zed, eh? What was Rip Torn's name in Men In Black, Zee?

I ate the butter tarts.

Darly,

"Who says a DTS box can't be turned into a supernode?"

I say, it can't be turned into a butter tart or into a martini or into a "supernode."

These point-and-click applications enhance the cost of DMS SuperNode ownership by significantly reducing the time and effort required to complete provisioning, commissioning, performance monitoring, fault isolation, and recovery.

Oh! my goodness I know how to bake a butter tart......and I usually eat them all myself. [Wink]

And here I thought that the Design Maintenance System, an ambitious vision of a 21st Century software engineering environment that supports the incremental construction and maintenance of large application systems, driven by semantics and captured designs, was supposed to lower overall costs.

This has to be the most painful game I have participated in....it is going nowhere....time to put on the padlock.

Posted by Brad Miller (Member # 2) on 01-16-2004, 12:15 PM:

Sorry to say I think Bob is right about this one. I just *assumed* everyone here could put together a normal sentence word by word, but when there are 20 adjectives in a row, not everyone knows their alphabet and the sentence cannot even be read straight through, it's time to throw in the towel. It's not as simple as just picking a word that begins with the next letter. [Roll Eyes]

Let's cool it for awhile with the games. When somebody comes up with a better idea, we'll see about starting it.
