.plan file from when I was at CMU.
(What you'd see if you typed finger ap1i+@andrew.cmu.edu.)
This version dates from late 1992, after I graduated, or maybe late

All the addresses are obsolete. The "campus" address was the apartment I shared with Elliott Evans and Dan Efran. The Maryland address is where my family lived through my early years -- not any more, of course.
I'm kind of surprised that Smith Hall still exists. Most of that side of campus has been incrementally torn down and rebuilt over the past 25 years.
Thanks to Elliott for printing this file out, sticking it in a box, forgetting about it until it turned up in a house move recently, and then scanning it in and sending it to me.

This is my Short Plan File. All the stuff about my address and so on is in
the file .longplan, or listed above.
