Buying Prog in NYC

[Poth]

Hi, VAXman. Am having a great time in the city. Tried to phone you yesterday evening, and will prob. try again later today. In the meantime, thought I would send this as well. If you could reply with a time and a place for a beer - anytime suits me - then that would be good. I'm off cycling in Central Park now: must remember that you guys drive on the right. Cheers, Poth.

Yes. Received the msg in my voice mail. I was at the NJ Prog House last eve when you called (Spiraling w/ Skeleton Breath).

I just mentioned to my Mrs. that we might try to get together one evening this week. We're trying to get our income taxes finalized this weekend.

Tuesday is out because my son has a baseball game. How does Wednesday or Thursday look for you?

Yes, Wednesday would be good for me as am offski on Thursday. I have lots of good maps so just let me know when and where is best for you. The good news is that I've found a whole plethora of prog here in the city, but I'll give you more details when I see you. Cheers, Poth.

Manhatten is easy to traverse... it's cartisian! All you need to know is how to count. Numbered Avenues from east to west; numbered streets from south to north -- save for that pesty diagonal Broadway that goes against the rule.

there's a few places downtown that aren't quite so easy - Tribeca,the village, SoHo - but for such a large city, Manhattan is pretty easy. Compared to say, London, which looks as if Keithie himself laid it out after 27 pints...

the extreme bits of lower Manhatten do look like a Micro$oft programmer laid them out but it's not too diffficult to get about once you understand the layout --- and have a small pocket map.

VAXman, If you're still on for tomorrow you can leave a message about time and place on this thread. If you can't make it (I get the feeling you live miles away) then please don't worry at all. I've already decided to come back to NY some time in the future. Anyway, have fun, Poth.
