The 1st had an Upside? sunflower (female ovary) The "buldge of the
seeds ~facing downwardly~". IT WAS The left UPPER
SIDE of THAT #1 page for sure (i don't know about the Right side, as I
haven't seen it since, THE IMPORTANT THING is the little human figure 
sticking its body out (left side of the lower sunflower (ovary) and
"waving, hello world" here I come!. THIS "ES" said was the "LIFE.STAR
emerging" (is anyone familar with this page?)

The 2nd was someones home page (one my initial mailing list) see
archives?, that have just one graphic (paragraph of the ~script~) in
these few lines, I was shown - the C_C_C cuttings, the 8am\\ splice
BACK and the c_C ~folding~ Key ..... (does anyone have just a page
with
only one random parapragh of VMS (graphically) inserted? (abour 3/4
of the way down the page? I search in 
ascii only (usually) and was told by ES that this was #2 (and simple) 
(so I HAD to "view it" to see what ES was talking about - literally) 

lastly... (after many conformation pages of ":see - see - understand? 
and me saying yes, YES - I get IT already, leave me alone already:"

I was ~left~ to study the wealth of graphics at the YALE library.. 
the supposed holder of the original book (2-3 hours of clicking - well
of course and YES and Yes & yes.. "ES" had long departed.

Again, I had never heard of or even seen ANYTHING related to the VMS
PRIOR to this... additionally I 'm sure I was chosen for reason beyond
my academic factors.... So as another clue - IF i can decode it, I
would ASSUME it is NOT WRITTEN IN ENGLISH .. Additionally The pictures
on the pages seem to relate to the TEXT of THAT page - LESS - the
folding, (does the VMS use like a 'playboy' Center FOLDING type of
thing? ES finally said "I
will not be able to READ IT" only DECODE IT! ... That was more
shocking to my intellect
then the fact I was given a KEY to the VMS.. How this key FITS I still
haven't a CLUE (but will let you know if I stumble on something more).
