Announcements and Observations
Internet users may now obtain uncompressed text versions of each RAH
issue via FTP from: etext.archive.umich.edu dir: pub/Zines/RAH
This site replaces the "uglymouse" server which previously held the
RAH issues, and is being phased out by the University of Michigan.
We're still seeking a non-commercial anonymous FTP site to carry the
RAH issues in compressed ZIP format. Please contact the editor.

In the finest tradition of vaporware, the "Best of RAH" hypertext
book promised for September release has been delayed until next
year. Excuses, er, the rationale behind the delay will be explained
in next month's issue. Send all complaints to bitbucket@null.
**CAPITAL Punishment** -- The 05/17/93 issue of InformationWeek
reported on news stories from China (that great hotbed of human
rights) about a computer hacker being executed for defrauding the
Agricultural Bank of China of about $200,000. The news reports
said that Shi Biao was executed as a warning to others
contemplating computer crime. Potential virus authors who plan to
vacation in China should consider these consequences, given the
ease with which computer viruses travel.

The Puffin's Nest BBS, the online home of Random Access Humor,
switched to a US Robotics HST/Dual Standard modem on July 24, 1993.
The new modem is capable of 1200-14400 bps in V.32bis mode and 1200-
16800 bps in HST mode. The phone number is still: 1-410-437-3463.

The RAH distributor family continues to grow in a most unlikely
fashion. This month we picked up sites in the astoundingly similar
countries of Iceland and Saudi Arabia.

The deadline for submissions, letters, etc. for inclusion in the
First Anniversary issue (09/93) of RAH is August 14, 1993. {RAH}
