Well everyone, atari.archive (terminator) crashed today with a fatal disk error. Anything posted to the archive is GONE. Read my lips, G O N E. Anyhow, if everyone who was so kind to post things to the archive before could re-post them again, the thousands of atari users all over the planet would be incredibly grateful. Again, after you upload, kindly mail me with a brief description of what you have uploaded (it's time for a damn index.....) Thanks, weiner -- weiner@atari.archive.umich.edu 'Tis far better to have failed at Michigan, than have graduated from Ohio-State.....

If there's a list of the stuff I've sent, I can resend it. You do realize, this sucks, don't you? :^) - (it's time for a damn index.....) Tell me about it. :^) I had a rough day, too. Alas, I am not upset. Too tired to be upset. Perhaps I won't have to post everything again, but others can help as well. -- Ed Krimen ............................................... ||| Video Production Major, California State University, Chico ||| INTERNET: ekrimen@ecst.csuchico.edu FREENET: al661 / | \ SysOp, Fuji BBS: 916-894-1261 FIDONET: 1:119/4.0

Ok, perhaps I was a bit hasty when I said everything.... (Did I say everything?) At any rate, only uploads made after SEPT. 19, 1990 are lost. This however does include such gems of the atari community such as Mint (please Eric, resend them), many of Ed Krimen's demo uploads, many of Todd Miller's uploads, etc. If you did upload something recently and still have it laying around, please resend it. And remember to let me know what it is, as stuff is already flooding in...

I'm getting sick of all these complaints. I'll explain one more time... The Atari ST is not a "supported" machine at the University of Michigan. Atari.archive.umich.edu is not our machine. We have no input on the backup schedule. We are permitted to use the machine on the whim of the system administrator. The Atari Posse consists of volunteers who run the archive in their spare time. Despite all of that, we still manage to run one of the best Atari archives in the world. You want better service? Give us a machine and some funding. Bottom line: If you don't like our archive, don't use it. We don't need you. Jon Brode -- jon@atari.archive.umich.edu brode@math.lsa.umich.edu Supreme Allied Umich Atari Commander

I for one really appreciate the service you are performing for the Atari community. The archive is one thing about owning an Atari that is a real pleasure. I hope you will keep up the good work! -- ================================================== | Michael Fischer <fischer-michael@cs.yale.edu> | ==================================================
