Re: The FutureCulture Cyberography :: NewYears93 Re: agr1ppa and agrippa Rejected Mail The FAF The FutureCulture Cyberography :: NewYears93 __________________________________________________________________________ Date: Tue, 29 Dec 1992 13:21:04 +0100 From: cardell@lysator.liu.se Subject: The FAF Regarding the project discussed on the list earlier to get free access to computers and the like: August 22, 1992 -- Information file about the Free Access Foundation, Version 5 FAF, what is it? ---------------- The Free Access Foundation was created in July, 1992 out of the growing need of the computer community at large for affordable access methods to Internet and Usenet services. Many users get their first taste of the Internet at college, but after they graduate they no longer have a way to get online. Additionally, there are many users, both long-since past college age and years ahead of college access time, who have explored the BBS community and are now looking to new horizons by accessing the infamous Usenet and Internet worlds. Goal of the FAF --------------- Our goal is to eventually get every computer user with the appropriate hardware (e.g. a modem) that has interest in the Internet and/or Usenet on those services. The word "Free" in our name does not necessarily mean access should be without cost. However, we DO believe that access should be affordable and suited to the needs of the user. How can I help? --------------- We are always looking for donations of hardware, software, and/or money. ALL DONATIONS SENT WILL BE USED TO FURTHER THE GOAL OF THE FAF *ONLY*. Write to the e-mail address below for more information on contributions. Currently we are looking for a 4.3 BSD UNIX system, preferably a Sun, to use as our "headquarters" on the Internet. Any help you can give in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Additionally, if you know of any organizations on either Usenet or Internet that allow open access to their systems, please have them contact us. Finally, if you know of anyone that needs help accessing either Internet and/or Usenet, write to us at the e-mail address below. We plan to make a list of all users who request our help and publish it periodically to alt.internet.access.wanted Please be as specific as possible in regards to the type of access needed and the location of the person. "The Address" ------------- The main address for FAF related inquiries is: faf@faf.org Information about the FAF can also be obtained from: seahawk@netcom.com Note that we now have an anonymous FTP archive at halcyon.com in /pub/faf Thank you's ----------- The Free Access Foundation would like to thank Ralph Sims and all the staff at Halcyon. They've been very good to us. Halcyon receives our highest rating as a general access UNIX site. We'd also like to thank Andrew Burt and his many volunteers at Denver University who run a great public access UNIX system. mikael cardell S P U N K P R E S S ______________________________ From: wixer!bladex@cs.utexas.edu (David Smith) Subject: But you don't understand....

Some 40something dude on Vox probably said it best: PKK writes a lot like Sam Shepard, who I vaguely know about because theatre people at my school are always raving about him. (He's a playright and none of his plays are ever about anything sane, there is always like a dead body laying on the ground with people having tea around it and John Malkovitch standing on a chair staring into space and screaming). > The one thing that jumped out at me in reading Agr1ppa (which I loved, > BTW - it was supremely more entertaining, I thought, then Gibson's > poem) is the way PKK always intertwines life-in-cyberspace, an > expansive subjective creativity, and an eyeballs-eyeballs-eyeballs > acid-like ambience.... Xerox Xerox Xerox, Ditto me too. I'm only waiting for the next wave. Its kind of really intense to realize that someone who is like this is the president of a company that is like the nexus of the roots of cyberspace all coming together in one place and its really happening. For the first time I don't care to much that I missed the 60's because there is so much shit cutting loose right now. This is a cool time to be alive! Cybercities: NYC rules! Vox, Digital, Dead, half of LOD, all of MOD, only city that might be as cool or slightly more so (just a little!) is San Francisco, Palo Alto, Berekely and everything in that area. Austin? Ok aside from BladeX and Jagwire and Bruce Sterling, a bunch of hicks in doofy looking hates :) ______________________________ Date: Tue, 29 Dec 1992 16:32:40 -0800 From: Judith Milhon Subject: Re: The FutureCulture Cyberography :: NewYears93 this is a negative negative rsvp: please, give me everything, and give it to me now!
