*** YOUR MESSAGE ***

Thanks to the thunderbolt of understanding which has recently pierced my
inexplicable cloud of stupidity, I will no longer be opening myself to
copyright suits by posting songs from LOTS.  I leave you, however, with
the following offerings:

==============================

What I Did for LOTS
lyrics by Mark Adolph 

(Sung to the tune of "What I Did for Love" from A CHORUS LINE)

Kiss your nights goodbye, 
The sleeping and the comfort.
Wish me luck, the same to you.
But I can't regret what I did for LOTS,
What I did for LOTS.

Look my job's alive,
The output is appearing,
But it's long overdue.
And I won't forget what I did for LOTS,
What I did for LOTS.

Down, LOTS is always down.
As we gain reknown,
LOTS's what we'll remember.

Kiss your nights goodbye, 
And point me toward a carel.
We did what we had to do.
Won't forget, can't regret what I did for LOTS,
What I did for LOTS,
What I did for LOTS.

==============================

Last Night I Didn't Get to Sleep At All
lyrics by Mark Adolph 

(Apoligies to The Fifth Dimension)

Last night I didn't get to sleep at all. (No, no)
I sat at LOTS and hacked until the morning came,
And though you're just a Helper, 
It's you I blame.

Oh, last night I got to thinking maybe I (I, I)
Should send you mail and just forget my foolish pride.
I heard PS: accessing, I went cold inside.
And last night I didn't get to sleep at all.

I know it's not my fault, I did my best.
God knows this Heath-19 could use a rest.
But every line I type just fills me with such fright
That I can't even hit RETURN. (RETURN)

Oh, last night I didn't get to sleep at all. (No, no)
The programs that I stole were just a waste of time.
I couldn't close my eyes with Pascal on my mind.
And last night I didn't get to sleep,
Didn't get to sleep,
No, I didn't get to sleep at all.

==============================

Sunrise, Sunset (A TA's lament)
lyrics by Mark Adolph 

Are these the novices I graded?
Are these the programmers I trained?
I haven't yet become a wizard,
When did they?

When did she get to be a hacker?
When did he learn to code in FAIL?
Wasn't it yesterday I taught them MAIL?

Sunrise, sunset,
Sunrise, sunset,
Swiftly flow the nights.
Lusers turn overnight to winners,
Creating magic with a byte.
Sunrise, sunset,
Sunrise, sunset,
Swiftly fly the years.
One intro class following another,
Laden with dread computer fears.

What words of wisdom can I give them?
How can I help to ease their way?
Now they must learn from system crashes
Day by day.

They look so natural with junk food,
Just like a true hacker should be.
Is there enablement in store for me?

Sunrise, sunset,
Sunrise, sunset,
Swiftly fly the years.
One intro class following another,
Laden with dread computer fears.
