I've been reading with some interest that some of y'all have been
trying to draw cabinets and such with Ketchup, so I decided to try it
for myself
I found it to be messy and difficult to use for this purpose. Some
customers have also complained that the drawings attracted ants.
The good news is that it is a very Green way of making drawings (even
though they come out Red, which is counterintuitive).
I see that some of my Red State bretheren have become staunch
defenders of this technique, which is understandable, since a previous
Republican administration thought so highly of Ketchup as to include
it in one of the food groups. I'm not sure what they thought about it
as a drawing tool.
It seems that the Dutch-Canadian contingent has firmly rejected
Ketchup, saying that it is not a CAD program, which everyone knows
anyway. What we don't know is whether it is a fruit or a vegetable.
This is perfectly understandable as Canada is too cold to grow
vegetables, so this is obviously a geo-cultural problem that will be
eliminated soon with the advent of global warming.
Then Al Gore will be able to say that he predicted that Ketchup would
take over the global market as a drawing tool long before anyone else.
That being said, I'm confident that we will all be drawing with
Ketchup in the near future because none of us will be able to afford
$2000.00 a seat for AutoCAD, or even the lesser cost of its mildly
retarded cousin - TurboCAD.
Yessir, Ketchup will be the real deal then, especially when the
bailout for the tomato growing agri biz giants gets through congress.
I'll be checking back in then and I'm sure we'll all be arguing the
relative benefits of the individual brands of Ketchup.
I'm a Heinz man, myself.

Tom Watson

(For those who don't like clickety-pop... please read our Canuckistani
relationship to the Ketchup Drafting program.)
Heinz was established in Canada in 1908 in a former tobacco factory in
Leamington, Ontario (Tomato Capital of Canada). Most products shipped
from Leamington have English and French labels for distribution
throughout Canada but a substantial amount of product is sent to the
United States. Ketchup is the main product produced there but the
factory also produces Canada Fancy (Grade A) tomato juice, mustard,
vinegar, pickles, baby food, BBQ sauces, canned pastas, beans, pasta
sauces, gravies and soups. Heinz Canada is also the major supplier of
single serving and flexible packaging condiments for most fast food
chains in Canada. Leamington is the largest tomato processing region
per acreage in the world. The Leamington plant usually processes more
than 250,000 tons of tomatos per year. With its unique combination of
climate and rich soil, Leamington is one of the best areas for growing
vegetables in the world. Heinz Canada also has operations in
St.Mary's, Ontario, Calgary, Alberta and Montreal, Quebec.

Let's see now, there is a major tomato processing operation in
Leamington and one of the major asparagus growing areas in North
America is just outside Peterborough, the other ones being in Michigan
and California.
The engineer who developed single serving packets of catsup came from
there.
Used his bonus to buy a very neat 43 ft ketch which he kept in the
Leamington harbor.

I could hear your teeth chattering as you wrote that.
*NO* city is beautiful.
Not bad in the winter?? 70 degrees F. is not bad. Not minus 70.
What good are beaches when they're frozen?
What's a yacht club?
OK. I'll go for the topless women. Ice fishing on Saginaw Bay is Ok too.
We have a low rate of murders for cities this size but Juarez more than
makes up for it.

What we don't know is whether it is a fruit or a vegetable.
Technically, a tomato is a fag.

Of course Heinz was founded in 1869 in Sharpsburg, 3 miles from my
house, and 2 blocks from where my father grew up. If a restaurant
doesn't have Heinz Ketchup, then the rest of their food is likely to
suck as well.
In other words, Heinz makes the AutoCad of ketchup...
CatSup just don't cut it...
Not even sure CatSup is a food...

Catsup is made from asparagus? No wonder I wasn't sure Catsup was a food...
Nothing wrong with asparagus mind you, just doesn't make a very good
ketchup...
Creamed asparagus on toast... OK, creamed asparagus on a hot dog...
Well, I wouldn't waste my time trying it, but Yuck anyway...

Dunno but when they did it was not editable... Everyone said it was the
same exact stuff, just a different color... Yuck! It looked terrible and
no matter how much you tried to convince yourself looks alone can't
change the taste, it sure did for me, and even my kids who were the ones
that wanted the stuff.
I thought about doing a blind test to see if there really was a
difference but decided if I couldn't tell the difference, I would quit
enjoying ketchup. Not worth the chance... Might be good for green
drawings, not much else...

They likely need a better editor... Notepad just doesn't cut it. I
would recommend at least Notepad2, and it's, are you sitting down... FREE.

Not seeing Jack's post for some reason. Had never heard of Notepad2
before--it's NICE.
As for Edlin, who needs edling when you can copy con to a file?

You might have plonked me, I can be extremely irritating, and my
spelling sucks... The good thing is, if I ever say anything slightly
worthwhile, someone will quote the whole message 50 times, so you won't
miss anything much:-) Of course their is a bad side to that as well:-)
As for copy con to a file, ain't that the truth...

I used EDLIN some, really sucked. Used ED, the Unix editor EDLIN was
copied from, sucked. Used VI, the Unix "Video" Editor a ton, out of
necessity. That was not bad once you got very used to it. You had to
know ED or EDlIN to understand how the Unix guys could consider VI a
VIDEO editor:-)
Used TSE The Semware Editor in DOS and OS2, and it rocked. Used Boxer
in OS/2, it rocked also. Now I'm reduced to Notepad2, which is OK if
you ain't doing much of anything, like me, and most in the world of windows.

If you ever used EDLIN, you would have to think the smiley was real:-)

Spoken like a true southern Californian. BTW: I see that the
weather forecast for your area has a high of 60F for tomorrow.
You may want to get out your down parka.

Actually an Ohio escapee for the last 20 years.
Still have my down filled parka, just in case, but these days don't
even think about going outdoors until the temps hit 70F.
Life is to short to be uncomfortable.
