I just read this article in the paper - COMPUTER LINK STOLEN Thieves who broke into the Toronto offices of the Ontario Environment Network on the weekend and stole $35,000 worth of computer equip- ment took away a key component used to link hundreds of groups and organizations across North Ameri- ca. A spokesman said the loss of the data base called "the Web" is "a devastating blow." The net- work, a non-profit educational and service organization that provides resources to more than 300 envi- ronmental groups in Ontario, has appealed for money and equipment. - Toronto Globe & Mail, Wed. 18 Jan 89 These are good folks, doing a highly useful job - which makes the theft all the more sickening. Rumor has it they've rented some equipment to get going again, but they still need a lot of help. I looked up their phone number - it's (416) 588-3843 in Toronto. Please call them if you can help with equipment and/or information... Thanks, -- Bruce Becker Toronto, Ont.
