I just feel that there is a community spirit in HECnet that would probably be best expressed on another mailing list. Eurgh. Can you pick something OTHER than google groups? ;) The address for the group is hecnetrandom at googlegroups.com , just send any mail and you will be subscribed to it. I think this will lower the random noise in the main HECnet list yet could be amusing for the people who enjoy the social aspect of retrocomputing / networking.. sampsa <sampsa at mac.com> mobile +358 40 7208932 -- Cory Smelosky http://gewt.net Personal stuff http://gimme-sympathy.org Projects
