cancellation of computer programming classes for hourly workers at
the Ford Rouge Factory. The newsletter deals with computer issues
and labor issues. The Amateur Computerist is dedicated to support

people movement" that gave birth to the personal computer in the
1970s and 1980s and articles about these developments have appeared
in past issues of the newsletter. Most recently the newsletter is
documenting the history of the development of the Global Network, of

breakthroughs."

Cropduster
"Cropduster (est. 1992) appears periodically as a reaction to the
kind of society that some of us live in. It is a knee-jerk response
to the fact that our world produces cultural under-achievers...
Cropduster has so far produced various reviews and critiques of some
of the lesser known aspects of people and places that teeter-totter
on barely breaking even. The zine is an overseer of this as well as
a product of it, because the thing itself exhibits too many of the
traits it condemns: Lack of rigor, unfair attacks, vendettas,
revisionism, stubbornness, spelling mistakes, and vulgarity. What
else can you expect from people who grew up in trailer parks and
live on Kraft Dinner?"

cultural debris
"is a romp though the garden of cultural fallout? a plunge into the
cold bath of millenial angst? a stand against generational
imperialism? excerpts from the correspondence of Dahven White. 'How
I have longed for you without even knowing of your existence! How
does a Big Mac long for its days as a raging bull? How do sun-baked
plains long for the shade of mile-wide flocks of passenger pigeons?
How do sagging breasts long for their pert youth? Answer these
questions and you will begin to know how I have longed for you. You
come to me like a Christmas present on Groundhog Day!' Theme changes

FUNHOUSE! -- The cyberzine of degenerate pop culture
"Dedicated to whatever happens to be on my mind at the time I'm
writing. The focus will tend to be on those aspects of our
fun-filled world which aren't given the attention of the bland
traditional media, or which have been woefully misinterpreted or
misdiagnosed by the same. FUNHOUSE! is basically a happy place, and
thus the only real criteria I will try to meet is to refrain from
rants, personal attacks, and flames -- and thus FUNHOUSE! is an
apolitical place. Offbeat films, music, literature, and experiences
are largely covered, with the one stipulation that articles are
attempted to be detailed and well documented, although this is no
guarantee of completeness or correctness, so that the interested
reader may further pursue something which may spark her interest."

sweet and sticky text characters that form the dimensional glue of
this here cyberspace......... we do not FIT the stereotypes and

ALONE in our art theater magic alchemy yet we are TOGETHER here. A
loose fuzzy grouping of mad artists and eccentrics who choose to
SURF THE GREAT THUNDERING ROLLING TUBES OF AWESOME TECHNOLOGY rather
than be consumed by the "post-apocalyptic angst" of it . A group of
vision-seeking edge dwellers who are equally capable of activating

epistemological nightmares, reinterpretations of folklore, sex, time
travel, reincarnation, and vice. _Factsheet Five_ calls it 'A

quiet, anonymous and well-known. And yet, it's far from clear what
it might mean to be a 'voice' from, or on, the net. Enter Voices
from the Net: one attempt to sample, explore, the possibilities (or
perils) of net.voices. Worrying away at the question. Running down
the meme. Looking/listening, and reporting back to you."

WHAT IS A "ZINE"?
For those of you not acquainted with the zine world, "zine" is short
for either "fanzine" or "magazine," depending on your point of view.
Zines are generally produced by one person or a small group of people,
done often for fun or personal reasons, and tend to be irreverent,
bizarre, and/or esoteric. Zines are not "mainstream" publications --
they generally do not contain advertisements (except, sometimes,
advertisements for other zines), do not have a large subscriber base,
and are generally not produced to make a profit.
FORMATS
Most e-zines listed here are in standard ASCII text format, which you
can read on just about any computer or terminal, and print on any
printer. A few are available in PostScript for printing on a laser
printer (or viewing on-screen if you have a PostScript interpreter in
your window system). A small number are available in some
system-specific format (i.e., Macintosh HyperCard). More and more are
becoming available in HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) on the World
Wide Web.
HOW DO I GET THE E-ZINES?
I have listed the various methods of access for each particular
e-zine. Briefly, I use the following:
FTP -- File Transfer Protocol
The host/pathname is given in the form "host:path" that certain FTP
clients (such as NCFTP) can use directly; otherwise, you'd probably
type "ftp host" and then "cd path" or some such. All FTP sites
listed accept anonymous logins (use "ftp" as username and your email
address as password).
If you are not directly on the Internet, you can use an FTP-mail
server to get files. Perhaps the most widely known public FTP-mail
server is located at decwrl.dec.com (send the message "help" to
ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com for more information). (Thanks to John Reeves
for supplying this missing information.)
Gopher
Only accessible if your site is directly on the Internet. Try typing
"gopher". If it works, you have a gopher client, and can usually
type "gopher host".
WWW -- World Wide Web
Only accessible if your site is directly on the Internet, and
supports a WWW-compatible hypertext browser. Current browsers
include www (ASCII line mode), lynx (ASCII full-screen mode),
xmosaic (X Windows), tkWWW (X Windows), Mac Mosaic (Macintosh), PC
Mosaic (PC), Cello (PC), and a few others.
Usenet -- Usenet News
Only accessible if your site carries the specific Usenet group.
E-Mail -- Electronic Mail
You can usually request current or back issues via this address.
Sometimes a site will run a mail server that automates some of this
work. Instructions are listed, if applicable.
Postal
Last resort, or point of contact for zines that have paper editions.
Phone/Fax
Why? I dunno; because it was there.
CompuServe
You know, that out-dated system that charges ridiculous rates.
Other
BBSes and other on-line systems the zine resides on.

archive points for e-zines in this list.
