*********************************************************************
* PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT *
* *
* Date: 01-Nov-93 *
* From: Jim Maciorowski, Safe Hex International/Florida *
* Michael Arends, Safe Hex International/Washington *
* *
* *
* Today we are formally announcing our "retirement" from the Safe *
* Hex International organization. *
* *
* It has come to our attention that the work involved in running a *
* "Regional Virus Center" has become increasingly overwhelming. *
* Due to certain Differences of opinion we Have with the MAIN SHI *
* center, We are stepping down as coordinators. Perhaps SHI will be *
* looking for new "Regional Virus Center" coordinators but nothing *
* has been said at this time. *
* *
* We understand that this will come as a shock to some. To others *
* it will be no surprise. To even more (unfortunately) you will *
* have absolutely no idea who we are or the work we did. To give *
* a brief summary: *
* *
* · We translated the information sent to us from SHI Headquarters *
* in Denmark into a more readable format for those in the USA. *
* *
* · We collected new viruses for the purposes of updating the anti- *
* viral programs you may use (VirusZ, Virus Checker, etc). *
* *
* · We distributed SHI's anti-viral disk, THE NEW SUPERKILLERS *
* (two versions) as well as other disks. We even offered *
* subscriptions to SUPERKILLERS so that people can have the best *
* updated killers mailed to them every month. *
* *
* · We encouraged people to make donations to the anti-virus *
* programmers who spend literally thousands of hours updating *
* their programs and who ask for little or nothing in return. *
* *
* · We helped people with their virus problems. *
* *
* · And we did it all NOT FOR PROFIT. *
* *
* While we have had some disappointments with the general reaction *
* of computer users towards our work, we have for the most part *
* been happy to serve an organization whose fight against computer *
* viruses was unique in the Amiga community. But now we feel it is *
* time to move on to other projects. *
* *
* Any user who subscribed to THE NEW SUPERKILLERS from Michael or *
* Jim will continue to have their subscriptions honored until they *
* expire. However, no new subscriptions will be accepted. *
* We will try to release updates more frequently than they have *
* been in the past and will continue to provide all users with the *
* same rapid service as before. *
* *
* Sincerely, *
* Jim Maciorowski and Michael Arends *
