Due to the impending holiday, I'd like to know: How do you play Jingle Bells on a touch-tone phone? I know there was a touch-tone telephone songbook published several years ago, but I can't find one anywhere. Thanks! --- Rick Inzero rochester!cci632!rdi Computer Consoles Inc.

MANIFESTO OF THE DELPHIC PARTY ------------------------------ #ident "@(#)/pub/manifest.delphic 1.1 3.0 04/01/1888 Friedrich_-_Engels " A spectre is haunting the Internet -- the spectre of Delphism. All the Powers of old Usenet have entered into a holy alliance to exorcise this spectre: User and Admin, Hacker and Newbie, Academic Radicals and NSA net-greppers. Where is the Posting of Stupidity that has not been decried as Delphic by its replies of flamage? Where the poster that has not hurled back the branding reproach of "From: us...@delphi.com" against the more Content-Free messages, as well as against the Never-Ending-September? Two things result from this fact. I. Delphi is already acknowledged by all Internet Sites to be itself a Host. II. It is high time that Delphists should openly, in the face of the whole alt hierarchy, post their messages, their .sigs, their FAQs, and meet this UL of the Path: of !news.delphi.com! with a Manifesto of the Site itself. To this end, Delphists of various baud-rates have assembled in a.o-s.d, and edited the following Manifesto, to be distributed by the UUCP, nntp, and FTP rtfm.mit.edu protocols. I. NEWBIES AND HACKERS The history of all hitherto existing networks is the history of user struggles. Freeman and slave, patrician and plebeian, lord and serf, hacker and newbie, admin and user, in a word, clued and clueless stood in constant opposition to one another, carried on an unSIGINTed, now ~/.hidden, now open() fight, a fight that each time ended, either in a revolutionary rewrite of interfacing protocols or in the common ruin of the contending networks. (Film at 11:00.) In the earlier logfiles of history, we find almost everywhere a complicated arrangement of computers into various networks, a manifold gradation of system access. In ancient IBM we have Man-Versus-System and BITNET; in the DEC Ages, VMS, DCL, and DECNET; in almost all of these systems, again, subordinate gradations. The feudal system of mailing lists, under which message distribution was monopolised by closed servers, now no longer sufficed for the growing wants of the new users. The uux - $NODE!rnews system took its place. The LISTSERVs were pushed on one side by flood-fill propogation; division of distribution between the different primary servers vanished in the face of replication of batching in each single node. The modern Usenet society that has sprouted from the ruins of proprietary systems has not done away with clash antagonisms. It has but established new RFCs, new conditions of flamage, new forms of posting in place of the old ones. Our epoch, the Epoch of Usenet, possesses, however, this distinctive bug^H^H^Hfeature: it has simplified the class antagonisms: Society as a whole is less and less splitting up into two great hostile camps, into two great classes, directly facing each other: User and Delphoid.
