I have a question which some one in this conference is bound to know. I got a copy of an article (from a paper here) faxed to me today and it was about how you can call some 900 number or write in to a company...and if you won the drawing you would be on a MIR spaceflight in 1992 or 1993.... #1 Is this true #2 Where can I enter (the article gave no real answers) Thanks!

The original organization set up in Texas, with the approval of the Soviets, and then got shut down by the Texas Attorney General for running an illegal lottery (I don't know if they forgot to file paperwork or texas just thinks lotteries are illegal). The organizers were going to try again somewhere else, but the funds they had already collected got split between the Atty General's office and (? don't remember). None of the fees were returned to the callers, and no funds were left for the organizers, so they may have given up. A sterling example of how governments serve their citizens. I'm still livid. -- Tarl Neustaedter tarl@vos.stratus.com Marlboro, Mass. Stratus Computer Disclaimer: My employer is not responsible for my opinions.
