- Right. Where else does money come from? Customers. I can't get access to
- IGS because I don't have telnet/ftp access. And free? I'm paying $10.95
- a month for newsgroup access because I don't have a University unix account.
-
- I'm glad that IGS is there: its the best thing to happen to GO since John
- Power started translating Japanese GO books to English and Richard Bozulich
- started importing GO equipment to the West. But an awful lot of people
- can't access IGS.
-
- I'm for anything that brings GO to more people.
