TAP died in 1981 when Cheshire Catalyst squandered the precious few $$ remaining in the TAP account. He was finally evicted from his apt. on 200th St (Upper Manhattan), and the entire TAP library (back issues, do-it-yourself projects, etc.) were tossed into a dumpster that the landlord rented to clear the unit (remember the bedroom stacked five feet deep with paper?). It was a very sad day for phreakdom.

We were very fortunate here that when Jon Solomon was no longer able to moderate the Digest or properly care for the Telecom Archives, Mike Patton of MIT stepped in and made storage space available. With some effort, I am gradually reconstructing many of the old issues previously considered lost. I'm going to spend some time this next week trying to finish the project if possible. Once recovery of the old issues is finished, I'd like to completely re-organize the archives to make searching by topic easier, but that is still down the road a ways. PAT]
