Subject: Backpack CDROM & Scanman

I am thinking of buying a Microsolutions Backpack 4x CD-ROM drive, which has
its own interface and connects to the parallel port; the Scanman Powerpage
scanner (Logitech) also connects to the parallel port and requires no further
interface> Has anyone out there had experience with either piece of equipment.
Obviously, what I like about both, in theory at least, is their portability and
availability to another machine, and, in the case of the scanner, the minimal
footprint. How about its bound-copy scanning abilities, though? Thanks in
advance for your advice. Michael Metzger -- Univ at Buffalo (who has really
missed HUMANIST, BTW, and is very glad it's back.)

cyberspace, with the following query?

Thanks!

Have no idea if I'm in the right spot but need to start somewhere.
 
I work as a teacher/tutor on the net; am currently trying to help two
students with following:
 
a) symbolic meaning of different parts of landscape and landscape as a whole
in Robert Frost poem that begins:
 
   I have been one acquainted with the night.
 
b) the relationship of situational comedy on TV to American life/how it has
affected the lives of people in America
 
I've tried using the net to research these but many of the files I tried to
look at listed "unable to retrieve at this time." Yours is the best reference
I was able to obtain.
 
Did locate one poem by Robert Frost (Stopping by the Woods, etc) but it
didn't have any commentary.
 
Found nothing even remotely relating to question on situation comedies on
television.
 
Any help will be greatly appreciated. ASAP (what else is new?).....thanks in
advance for any help/advice.
