Re: [Hardhats-members] VistA Community Meeting - Boston, April 7-10
Terry and crew; OK, you ready for the story of why January 1, 1841 (why not an even number like 1840, or 1850)?? Here is the story and there is even a statue to the event in Boston Commons. What is the first M in MUMPS? Massacusetts General Hospital. This is where MUMPS came from originally (or at least the name). Do keep in mind that had they been true to the initials, it would have been MGHUMPS. Not nearly so lyrical They needed to have a date back in the mid 1800s to make sure no one has a negative birthdate. Great!, Now at Mass General, the first use of ether in a surgical situation was first performed in 1841. This event is celebrated as Ether Day at Mass General. OK, great. January 1st seems like a convenient date for the day #1. All other dates flow from there for $H. 60K approaches in rapid day by day fashion to turn on the 9th of April. Way cool. History and culture in the same email. Hope to see you all there in Boston.

You might be interested in the book, the Difference Engine, by William Gibson, and Bruce Sterling. They spin a tail not so different from the setting you propose. Except they have the difference engine being widely adopted, and being used for a wide variety of purposes. http://search.barnesandnoble.com/BookSearch/isbnInquiry.asp?userid=T28eS7yAvpisbn=055329461Xitm=1 Kevin --- Thurman Pedigo [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Lady Lovelace and Babbage undertook (and failed) a scheme for financing an enterprise to develop, and market the difference engine by handicapping horse-races.

Re: [Hardhats-members] VistA Community Meeting - Boston, April 7-10
I believe it may have been mentioned in an earlier thread that the New England MUMPS Users Group (NEMUG) is having a +$H=6 celebration on April 9th. This is the primary reason for having the World VistA Community meeting at this time and place. We at NEMUG will soon be calling people and generally advertising the event. However, if you want to join us, you can currently sign up at www.NEMUG.org. This event will be held directly across the bridge from Intersystems at the Holiday Inn. More to come... Terry L.
