Dear All,
We keep on being asked whether we have put anything away for a rainy day?
Well, next to our rubber boots we have treasured a brand new Internet
address. You can also bookmark http://www.ifip.org to access the IFIP
Internet site. It took some patience as it was reserved but now the
promised .ORG path to IFIPland is ours!
Best,
The Delivery Co.

Fun lovers' zone only!

...and to cheer you up for the coming weekend here are two other heavenly
stories:
Adam was feeling rather lonely in paradise. He asked for some company.
"That's no problem," God replied. "I'll make you a perfect mate. She'll not
only be beautiful and clever, she'll also look after your every need and
never argue with you. However, perfection is expensive. She'll cost you an
arm and a leg." Adam thought for a while, then said: "What can you give me
for ... say, a rib?"
***
Eve's husband arrived in Heaven and asked St. Peter if his wife was there.
"Which Eve do you mean? We have lots of Eves here," he replied. "Can you
tell me something about her?" "Well, the last thing she said before she
died was that she would turn in her grave if I was ever unfaithful to her,"
answered the husband. "Ah, you mean Revolving Eve, then!" said the angel.

Dear Otto,
I know you like magic numbers, so you probably know that today's date is a
palindrome when written in the DD/MM/YYYY format, viz. 20.02.2002, and that
this appears at most once per century (for obvious reasons).
But, even stronger, tonight at 20:02 we can extend this palindrome to get:
20:02 20.02.2002
Have a nice palindrome day, and enjoy the palindrome minute,
Guy

Subject: Newsletter + your Friday's Special
A STAR Newsletter is born!
It is the brand new product of IFIP and 6 of its member societies in
Central-East Europe, a region with a serious IT potential where IFIP's
members are in the driver's seat of the Information Society. The IT STAR
initiative is destined to expand and this Newsletter will herald its
achievements. Our Newsletter is definitely important to our regional
members+ other IFIP members --ACM, IEEE CS, CEPIS-- with activities on this
regional turf. Hopefully the wider IT community would also find it useful.

ONE SMALL STEP FOR IFIP AND ITS PARTNERS AND ONE GIANT LEAP FOR THE REGION*

* APROPOS, when Apollo Mission Astronaut Neil Armstrong first walked on the
moon, he not only gave his famous "one small step for man, one giant leap
for mankind" statement but followed it by several remarks, usual com
traffic between him, the other astronauts and Mission Control. Just before
he re-entered the lander, however, he made the enigmatic remark "Good luck
Mr. Gorsky." Many people at NASA thought it was a casual remark concerning
some rival Soviet Cosmonaut. However, upon checking, there was no Gorsky
in either the Russian or American space programs. Over the years many
people questioned Armstrong as to what the "Good luck Mr. Gorsky" statement
meant, but Armstrong always just smiled.
On July 5, 1995 in Tampa Bay FL, while answering questions following a
speech, a reporter brought up the 26 year old question to Armstrong. This
time he finally responded. Mr. Gorsky had finally died and so Neil
Armstrong felt he could answer the question. When he was a kid, he was
playing baseball with a friend in the backyard. His friend hit a fly ball,
which landed in the front of his neighbor's bedroom windows. His neighbors
were Mr. & Mrs. Gorsky.
As he leaned down to pick up the ball, young Armstrong heard Mrs. Gorsky
shouting at Mr. Gorsky.
"Sex! You want sex?! You'll get sex when the kid next door walks on the
moon!"

Have a great weekend!

Subject: Knock, knock - it's 'Good News' Time
Dear All,
Breaking News:
1. Tomorrow, 14 February, 2002 in Grenoble, France will be the Launching
Meeting of Villa Media [ for details please check our earlier message -
'The "Villa" will open' http://www.ifip.or.at/mail/msg00074.html ]. Jack
Lang, the French Minister of Education, and Romano Prodi, the President of
the European commission or his representative, and many other French and
European key figures will mark the occasion. IFIP will also be represented
and during the afternoon Prof. Raymond MOREL, Swiss IFIP GA representative
and TC 3 Vice-Chair, will be one of the distinguished panelists of a
Roundtable which will address the concept of learning seen either as an
objective transmission of content or as a process that will resort for a
large part to sensitiveness. The main issue to be addressed is in what way
do the objects and the tools of the digital mediation serve one or the
other of these approaches, or in what way do they make this distinction
obsolete?
IT'S NOT A COINCIDENCE that IFIP's TC 3 will conduct its annual meeting in
Grenoble at the same time and many of our TC members will be at the opening
of La Villa Media.
2. The IFIP Executive Director received a facsimile from the Office of the
Prime Minister of the Republic of Lithuania, dated 12 February 2002,
confirming that "the Prime Minister of the Republic of Lithuania, Mr.
Algirdas Brazauskas has expressed great support for the WITFOR forum which
will take place in Vilnius, Lithuania in 2003". The letter further says
that the Prime Minister assures the organizers of this IFIP event that "the
Government of Lithuania will issue necessary funding for organizational
needs of the Forum."
3. The President of the Slovenian Member society of IFIP, host of IFIP
Council and Related Meetings in Bled, 2-7 March 2002, confirmed that the
Slovenian Minister of the Information Society will welcome and meet with
the Council participants. other dignitaries will also join and we expect
interesting presentations on the state of IT research, applications and
industry in the country.
Stay tuned,
The Delivery Co.
P.S. Some of you complained that the Delivery Co. lets too many messages go
without a joke. To compensate you we intend to prepare "Your Friday's
Special" in the near future and if anyone itches to contribute you can send
your joke to the Delivery Co... but no sex jokes, PLEASE - our secretary is
British!
