The image on the front page was constructed from two separate graphic files downloaded from ftp.sunet.se/pub/pictures/art. The images used were Vincent Van Gogh's Sunflowers and an image file called hajime67.jpg from Handmade Software, Inc. Ftp.sunet.se is a wonderful site in Sweden for downloading images, all of which are in JPEG or GIF formats.
Letters to the Editors
About the article on Usenet surfing, we got this:
"Not bad, but. . .
1) Before asking any questions, your first one should be "Where do I find the FAQ for this group?" Chances are your question has been discussed before even if you don't see it in the back files you can access, especially if you're new to the group.
2) Before posting in any group, you should always just read it for AT LEAST a week. This way you can figure out:
a) if this group meets your needs/expectations
b) what the main recurring threads seem to be
c) what the general feel of the group is (in terms of sarcasm etc.) without getting yourself in trouble.
3) Don't give out your real address! This is a big one, and is often overlooked, especially in the alt.binaries.pictures.erotica hierarchy where people sometimes resort to mailing disks back and forth because of incompatible or incompetant systems.
4) Don't write angry should be superceded by don't post angry. If a note really upsets you, you should feel perfectly welcome to respond in all your anger to the author -- via private email. That author, of course, should feel just as free to angrily respond back to you."

Thanks for the input Rich!
Subscription Information
Mac Net Journal keeps two subscription lists: one list is for people who wish to receive the entire issue of Mac Net Journal via email, one is for people who do not want a file the size of MNJ plopped in their mailbox and are just notified of when a new issue comes out.
If you wish to subscribe, please email the editors at aaron@netaxs.com and let us know which list you would like to be on. Subscriptions are free and can be terminated at any time. You can also be switched between the lists whenever necessary. We generally add/drop/switch people within 24 hours of request. If mail is returned to MNJ, we will automatically drop you from our subscription list.
One last note about subscriptions: all issues of MNJ are emailed out from our mailer in MIME format. If you decide to receive MNJ via email and, when you get it, you also get an error message telling you that the message is in MIME format and the mail reader cannot decode it, simply download the message to your computer and run it through a program called Mpack 1.4 (available via FTP from ftp.andrew.cmu.edu/pub/mpack/mpack-1.4-mac.hqx. Once the file is decoded from MIME, it can be decompressed as normal.
Credits and Thanks
Mac Net Journal wishes to extend its thanks and gratitude to the kind fellows who maintain the Info-Mac database as well as the folks at ZiffNet/Mac who place MNJ on Eworld and Compuserve. Without the support of these two organizations, distribution of MNJ would be significantly more difficult.
