There is a new Bulletin Board System in Santa Fe, NM with a rather unique charter. The phone number is (505) 988-5867. Hours of operation are presently 4 PM to 6 AM MST. (longer on weekends) An abridged version of their charter follows. THE SANTA FE MESSAGE We're trying to do several things with this computer bulletin board: 1. Give prospective visitors to the Santa Fe area (i.e., visitors with a computer) an opportunity to ask questions about the area and get a personal answer on our message board. 2. Give some low-cost advertising to any Santa Fe art galleries and similar establishments. 3. Provide a tax information service. 4. And finally, give ourselves some fun. We are heavy readers (and do some writing too) and would like to provide a clearing house for comments on any books that our callers have read recently. These should be comments you're willing to share with others-- comments that would be put in a file for other readers to peruse and copy. If you're a big reader of periodicals, we'd like you to comment as well on any noteworthy articles or short stories you've read recently. The file areas we have set up to hold your comments and reviews are: Fiction File Areas FICTGEN : Fiction, general FICTMIDE : Fiction on the Middle East, an area of special interest to us. Non-fiction File Areas (geographic breakdown) USPOLIT : U. S. Politics USECON : U. S. Economic affairs USMILIT : U. S. Military and defense affairs INTERNAT : International affairs; political, economic, and military SOVUNION : Soviet Union WEUROPE : Western Europe CANADA : Canada MIDEAST : Middle East (Arab states including those in North Africa, Israel, and Iran) FAREAST : Far East (including Japan, China, the Koreas, Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand and red under the Middle East) LATINAM : Latin America (both Central and South America) File Areas for Other Topics SCIENCE : All scientific writings, except for the very next topic COMPUTER : Computers (hardware, software, programing languages, future developments, etc.) BIOGRAPH : Biographies, all types All services this board provides are free with one exception--the Tax Information Service. We encourage you to use the other services whether or not you have any questions on taxes you'd like to ask us.
