                       -------------------------------

        Currents! allows access to all callers, but offers expanded
access to those callers who care enough to make a donation to Currents!
Those callers generous enough to contribute to Currents! will become
full-fledged members of the 'Currents! Contributors Club' and are
entitled to all priviledges mentioned below for one full year.

        Please read the information below and make the decision as to
which access level you feel is best for you.


                            Reasons To Support
                       Currents! Information Accessory
                       -------------------------------

.       Currents is the first Macintosh-based BBS in the Dayton area
        to belong to the 8000 member FidoNet.

.       The message forums on Currents! broaden the scope of
        resources available to you!  Due to the fact that most message
        areas are national or international, the wide range of topics
        and responses quickly enable you to solve problems or expand
        your potential.

.       Currents! also is a member of the K12Net International
        Education Network.  This network brings together students,
        parents, and teachers from all over the world to discuss
        educational issues and share ideas for helping students
        achieve their potential.

.       The File Library on Currents! surpasses any BBS library in the
        Miami Valley! Currents! offers a full line of public domain
        and shareware files for the Apple Macintosh.  Contact on the
        national on-line services several times a week for utilities,
        applications, INITs, graphics, etc.  which are new and
        promising, as well as updating existing library files helps to
        insure "Current" listings. In addition, Currents! has
        established file libraries for education-related files for the
        Macintosh and Apple II computers.

.       Membership in the 'Currents! Contributors Club'.

        This entitles you to participate in on-line contests in which
        prizes are awarded for everything from being the 5000th caller
        to uploading the most number of files per month to having the
        funniest anecdaote per month.


                              An Equation
                              -----------

        Consider this:

        It takes about 12 minutes to download a 100K file at 2400
baud.  So you can download 5 100K files in an hour.  An hour of
on-line access charges to America Online (probably the cheapest of the
nationals) costs $5.00.

        Keep the above equation in the back of your mind as you are
reading this.  It will come in handy when figuring what level you will
choose.


                   2 Levels of Accessibility to Currents
                 -----------------------------------------

         The following is a list of the 2 levels of accessibility from
which to choose. The list includes the time allowed on Currents,
number of calls allowed per day, and Post/call and Upload/download
ratios each level must maintain in order to enter the File Library.


Level   Calls per Day   Time per Day    Post/calls      Uplds/downlds
-----   -------------   ------------    ----------      -------------
1             2             30             1:5              1:5 
2             5            120             -0-              -0-	

*  Level 1 is the 'new caller' level, but has access to all message
   areas and file transfer libraries.  Level 2 has access to all
   message areas & file libraries and NO ratios.


                            Interpretation	
                            --------------

        Level 1 will be allowed a maximum of 30 minutes per day on 
Currents.  Those with this level can call a maximum of 2 times per day.
In order to have access to the File Library, Level 1 must post 1 message
for each 5 times they call (1:5) and upload 1 file for each 5 they
download (1:5).

        Level 2 will be allowed a maximum of 120 minutes per day and up
to 5 calls per day.  It has no Post/calls or Upload/downloads ratio
restriction.

                                How?
