Hello Caut List,
=20
I was surprised to see my post turn up as one of the first official post
on the CAUT list 10 years ago.  I know Lawrence Becker posted something
about me being a Math teacher in a high school, but during the summer I
resume tech work. I'm working at this point for Cassie Van Gelder, head
technician at Interlochen Center for the Arts.  So I am still tuning -
practice room loaner pianos in huts surrounded by towering conifers and
maple trees with dangling caterpillars

I am still doing Wapin too!

	Dear Listers of all persuasions -
=09
	I don't know if this coming date was acknowledged at the
Nashville Convention, but it has gone completely unnoted here.  And
while those with first hand information may be able to refine the
record, according to the pianotech archives, July 15, 1994 marks the
originating post of what are now our lists.  I've reprinted it below.
=09
	I am not articulate enough to impart, with any poetry or
profundity, my deep sense of the contribution these lists have made to
the fabric of our lives, as technicians and beyond.  I was going to say
how it has impacted the experience of the PTG, and then reflected on the
flirtation the lists have always had with a certain independence from
the Guild, as the two primary lists have always been open to all.  I
note, as well, my suspicion (since I don't have the data) that a sizable
percentage of the PTG membership does not partake of any of them.
Nevertheless, I cannot, on any regular basis, remain conscious of such a
distinction.  These lists would not exist, as such, without the basic
Guild community, and that community has been indelibly affected by them.
They are a trove.
=09
	If I mention any names, I'm likely to offend by omission,  but
it's worth going to archive to note those of the original contributors
who have remained active.  Porritt, Swafford, McNeil are a few, but you
others...you're presence is preserved.  And I would not permit myself to
forgo acknowledging my appreciation to two large presences, Newton Hunt
and Danny Boone.=20
=09
	Thanks to all of you.

		I would like to hear from as many college technicians as
possible with
		regards to the following dilema.  We schedule over a
thousand events
		yearly here at CCM.  They have up until now done all
scheduling non
		electronically and are presently exploring options for
software
		that will do the job for them.
	=09
		The latest idea is that they will rely on the University
VAX network's
		smorgasborg of site liscensed software.  The
university's computer
		people are experimenting with a program called "Recital"
which is a
		program similar to D-Base.
	=09
		My feeling is that it is far more prudent to buy
dedicated software for
		scheduling rather than adapt your needs to a catchall
program like
		D-Base.  Afterall, thats the way business generally
operates.  For
		example: the pharmacy that I use employs a program
called "Parm Ease".
		It was developed and is supported only for this
particular
		application.  I think it would be a nightmare if they
had bought Lotus
		or D-Base and tried to make it work for their needs.
	=09
		How does your school handle scheduling.  Whats the name
of the
		program, is it a local or a vax type system?  Are they
happy?
