As the author of Backtalk, I like to imagine that there is less talk about
how to do things in Backtalk because there is less to be said about it - it
is all supposed to be fairly obvious, and there are extensive help pages if
it isn't. (The help pages say a lot of things like "Press the 'item list'
button to get a list of items"). It's also to be admitted that there is
less you can do in Backtalk. Piping your input through Figlet is probably
not so easy.
It should also be pointed out that there are five different Backtalk
interfaces on Grex currently, and you do things differently in different
ones. In abalone there is no "item list" button.

(prime, unless somebody slips in while I'm composing this response...)
I was a math major to the max, going so far as to get a Ph.D. in the
subject. But now, like dcat, I'm in computers science. Go figure.
I've been with Grex since its conception. For a serious hobby, I
play ragtime piano.

I'm Jonathan, chillin' here in the Pacific Northwest-- southeastern
Washington State, that is.
Speaking of Backtalk, I moved from the original shell to the abalone
version some time ago. It seems much more convenient to me and about
as fast unless I was able to directly dial in somehow. I don't use
party all that often anymore, and have forgotten most of the PicoSpan
commands that I did learn, so Backtalk suits me just fine.

to elaborate on resp:30, cause i've been at work for 7.5 hours and am bored
out of my mind, I'm between schools ATM; after two years at Oberlin College
in Ohio and one at Washtenaw CC in Ann Arbor, I'll be at U. Pittsburgh in the
fall. I'll also be minoring in linguistics. I also like to talk about
hockey, although i don't know nearly as much about it as ea.

Wow. It's an honest-to-goodness grex convergence. Snowth goes to Pitt, and
I'll be going there myself in the fall.

jmsaul -- Where would you reccomend? I've actually had pretty good
experiences with Pittsburgh restaurants, but I also didn't get out much when
I was living there before, so there's bound to be lots of places I've never
heard of.

I can dig up names, but on our last trip there we went to a Peruvian place,
a Thai place that's better than anything in a 50-mile radius of Ann Arbor,
and a Brazilian barbecue place. All outstanding. (Well, the Peruvian place
wasn't necessarily outstanding, but it was really good.) There's also Kaya
(caribbean fusion) and Umi (supposedly a brilliant sushi chef, but I haven't
made it there yet).
A friend of mine used to be head chef at Kaya, and knows all the good places
to go. I can put you in touch with them if you want.

Wow. Haven't been to any of those. I'd love a name on the Thai place, at
least.

From my friend:
The place we went to is Bangkok Balcony on Forbes Avenue (I don't know the
number off the top of my head) in Squirrel Hill. It's favored by the
foodies in my crowd, but there are some other good ones as well. One of
them recently changed ownership and name, and the other one I haven't
visited in ages, so I have forgotten what it's called, but I'll do the
necessary research. Your friend will also want to check out Spice Island
Tea House on Atwood in Oakland (where we had the tea leaf salad) and its
sister restaurant down the street, Road to Marrakesh, which specializes
in African cuisine.
(Those other places are also great, we just didn't visit them this time
around)
