****************************************************************************
To spell it out:
go to your internet host. type:
ftp early-bird.think.com
it will type a bunch of stuff and ask you your name, reply:
ftp
it will ask for a password, type your address in the form:
Foo@fee.boo.bee
it will login you in, type:
cd libernet
then type
get hr4079
kick back and wait till your host recieves the 150K file and then type
bye
If you really would like to see this absolutely horrifying document and can't
ftp, I will mail it to you if you really desire it. It's so big it shouldn't
be posted to the net again and again, for each new generation of informed.
Mail me at the address in my header always if the header reply address is
headed at the address (too much studying of pointers, Computer Sci Major)
(Lot's of thanks to the Libertarians and to liberty-net for hosted the site
for this and other fine dox!)
