Hello.

I just ran into this newsgroup and find it interesting! I would
have loved to have known of such a newsgroup when I was younger.
(I'm still not old, but am a college-veteran now.)

Anyways, I wanted to let you all know about a newsletter I work
on. It is called the Amateur Computerist Newsletter and is a
combination of articles by and about people who love computers
for what they are, and a spirit of the labor movement.

We currently have two recent issues. Issue 4-4 is a normal issue
with topics such as the possible impact of technology on the far
future (say 200 years)  and some history, etc.

The latest issue, 4-5, is a special supplement about Usenet News.

Both issues are available by either anonymous ftp to
wuarchive.wustl.edu in the directory or my email a request to me
at hau...@columbia.edu

In addition we have another newsgroup, the alt.amateur-comp to
discuss the newsletter and other related topics. We also
appreciate submissions. Any submissions are welcome either posted
to the alt.amateur-comp newsgroup or in email to me and
au...@cleveland.freenet.edu or through snail-mail.

Hopefully the newsletter proves interesting to some of you, :-)
