For what it's worth, I think this newsgroup does serve a useful purpose. Cheers, Robert J. Sawyer -- Tom Nadas UUCP: {decvax,linus,ihnp4,uw-beaver,allegra,utzoo}!utcsri!tom CSNET: tom@toronto

Well, here's an Ontario specific posting for everybody. I owe a favour to Bjo Trimble (with whom I have the honor of communicating with on BIX fairly frequently) and she has a desperate need to be invited to the Toronto area (or, I suppose somewhere reasonably close) as a GOH to a Con. I think it has to do with some kind of addiction to clean air. :-) Anyway, I promised I'd spread that piece of information as best as I could--which is via the Net. This is sort of a self serving favour, I have to admit. I'd like to meet this bunch. They seem really nice from all my communicating with them. They have 2 kids and a computer, which may just spawn another computer fairly soon.

Ad Astra 7 is the obvious choice -- a Toronto con with an honourable history and a (partial) media orientation. Is Bjo on CompuServe? If so, she can reach Ad Astra at 74016,1057. Cheers, Robert J. Sawyer -- Tom Nadas UUCP: {decvax,linus,ihnp4,uw-beaver,allegra,utzoo}!utcsri!tom CSNET: tom@toronto

She's one of the moderators of the 'sf' conference on BIX. The other moderators of the conference are Steve Brust and Al Mayer. It's a pretty nice group overall. At this minute Bjo and family are buried in EquiCon (down in California). Things must be going well there. There is a BIX connection under the supervision of Joanne Dow and lately no one has logged in. If you know JD, you know that it takes a lot to keep her offline, so the schedule has got to be pretty amazing (ahem-- or the parties ;-). Bjo hinted at some Japanimation stuff which I have a special interest in. I'm looking forward to hearing what they showed.

Well, I copied your posting about Bjo looking for an invitation to Toronto and sent it, with a cover note, to Mike Wallis of Ad Astra via his CompuServe mailbox, so at least they know now.
