- Here's the article I believe Frank was thinking of (it pays to be a packrat
- sometimes, eh? :-) Perhaps if enough folks knock on her electronic door,
- we'll get some results. I would have posted the last edition of the FAQ,
- but I'm afraid that someone else may have already done so. Maybe Helen
- needs some help.

- | Hi, folks!

- | I'll soon set up a mail alias for the 3b1 FAQ like Andy had, but until

- | send them to:

- | That site is on the Internet, and not (as far as I know) in the Usenet

- | Internet gateway.

- | ACTUALLY, Kris has a good point here. It would probably not be a bad
- | idea to gather together a lot of the 3b1 folklore in a nifty little
- | formatted Users Guide type of thing. After all, very little of it is
- | any more likely to become obsolete than the machines already are, right?
- | It'd be very useful for new users, and I don't think I'd mind replacing
- | my 3b1 notebook section of lpr'd news articles and mail messages with
- | such a document, either.
- |
- | Does anyone else think this might be worth the effort?
