Garbage

wachoff@hugh.jass.com (admin.winthrop.edu): Hi! Is this one hell of a waste of time!!! Im not using any tags. I just want to waste some paper if thats what this thingy does... And now I dont want to listen to your begging for more printer ribbons, so why do you still have this thing. after a while youll get millions of messages and sguff, what a waste fo paper. wahat do you do with it all? after its printed out

Quite a mouth full, I only have one thing to add: I don't recall ever asking for ribbons.

Hi There Hi There

I was obviously testing something, but obviously it was not as much fun as the following, which looks like the results of random garbage being sent out the serial port:

lots of garbage characters printed on a page...

I think that you were testing an update you must have made to the script. After that msg all the time stamps start being printed in 12hr format w/ AM/PM after them vs. the 24hr format that was used before.

And no, I'm not transcribing that garbled up test message
