- Thanks again to all who replied to my 'Basic Net Questions'. The past month
- has been a real education for me, and I no longer feel like a novice. OTOH,
- I sure don;t feel like an expert either.
-
- I had originally thought that I'd be able to sum up everything I learned
- about the Internet/Usenet in one Grapevine column. I don;t know what I could
- have been thinking, but what I submitted yesterday was (in my mind) going to
- be the first part of a multi-part series. It was really just an intro to the
- net.
-
- Well, surprise, surprise. It's not going to appear in Grapevine after all.
-
- It's going to be a feature article in the May, 1993 issue of inCider/A+!
-
- And, I now have another month to learn everything you know.
-
- So, I'd like once again if people could help me out by sending me
- information. There's a few areas that I'm most interested in.
-
- First, I'd like to list every single FREE public access net access number in
- the country, if that's possible. I now some of you access the net from
- Cleveland Free Net (I leanred how to access that through Telnet) and would
- love to get a phone number for Cleveland area folks to call. Likewise, if
- there are other free public access sites you know about, I'd also like to
- hear about that.
-
- Another thing I'd like to learn about is some of the online databases and
- libraries that can be accessed. If you access a particular one that has lots
- of neat, or professional, or fun or whatever type of information that would
- be worth sharing, please let me know.
-
- On the Apple II front, I'd also like to write about FTP sites with large (or
- specialized) Apple II stuff on it. Maybe if folks like Todd Whitesell could
- write a paragraph describing your site, that'd be great. Once I collected
- all that info, then I could spend a couple of days visiting all those sites.
-
- Aside from that, please send me any other relevant info you have about the
- net, and neat places you've visited on the net. What about other neat
- newsgroups. Any worth recommending?
-
- Thanks in advance. Of course, c.s.a2 will get a write up, so lets suspend
- the flames for the next month, OK?
