S61304@PRIME-A.POLY-SOUTH-WEST.AC.UK ("Simon Chappell") (03/22/90)
Is anyone interested in becoming involved in a snail mail list of ST users? I know that most of you will be like me and quite happy using the Email facilities at your site, but spare a thought for us final year students who will soon be losing all access to such facilities if the company we join has not network links!! (Arrgghh, too horrid to consider!). So to get around this I was wondering if any of you would like to help me get a list together of interested parties who could then keep in touch and prevent themselves losing touch with the ST community at large (this would be especially easy if someone who still had net access could summarise current topics or forward news and advice!) I'm not thinking of anything major league for the entries on the list, just sort of name, address, interests and optionally a few lines about yourself. eg Simon Chappell. s61304@uk.ac.psw.pa (goes away after June) 51 Amherst Road, Penny-Come-Quick, Plymouth, Devon, PL3 4HJ. UK. C, operating systems (UNIX, VMS) & relational databases. This would be roughly what my record would read, so if you are interested compose something for yourself along the above lines (you can have 5 lines of text about your self if you want! :-) and send it to me either by Email (until June) or at the above address (anytime). I am working now on a list for the UK and when both lists are complete I will Email a copy to everyone that wants one. I hope that this generates a reasonable level of interest, so don't be shy! Contact me sooner rather than leter and lets all keep in touch! :-) Regards, Simon | Simon Chappell | BSc(Hons) Computing and Informatics (final year) | Polytechnic South West (Plymouth) | | JANET S61304@uk.ac.psw.pa BITNET S61304@pa.psw.ac.uk | INTERNET S61304%uk.ac.psw.pa@nsfnet-relay.ac.uk
