- Wow. It's been a while since our last issue. And lots of things, good
- and bad, have transpired.
- Under Operation Sun Devil, scores of people were raided and busted. One
- permanent effect of the operation is the fact that Ripco BBS, an institution
- of the computer underground community, is permanently down.
- Another intrgral part of the computer underground that bit the dust is
- the famous online newsletter called Phrack. Its publisher, Knight Lightning,
- was left with $100,000 worth of legal bills to pay off, and has stated that
- he will not continue to publish the journal, much to the loss of the rest
- of us. Doc Holiday from 713 published his own version of Phrack and
- received a great deal of criticism for it. It is our understanding that he
- might continue to use the Phrack name, but we hope that he decides to put
- his publication out under a different name.
- Under this climate of repression against computer users, some may have
- thought that even ATI has closed its electronic doors. This is not the case.
- We here at ATI will continue to publish as long as there is a readership
- interested in our publication. And with the enthusiasm expressed by many
- regarding ATI, we are confident in saying that we'll be around for a long
- time. Sadly enough, however, ATI is the LAST regular underground online
- newsletter that is still being published.
- I apologize for the delay between issues. I promise that ATI will come
- out on a more regular basis from now on. Expect to see at least 1 ATI per
- month, hopefully more.
- As stated before, ATI is available from many BBS's. However, I took
- down The Red Phone BBS, so ATI's main points of release will be The Workshop
- of the Telescopes at 201-916-1943 and the TAP BBS at 502-499-8933. Since our
- last few issues, I found, to my surprise, that it's next to impossible to
- list every BBS on which ATI is available, as it's being spread around quite
- well. ATI has made it to BBS's all around the US, plus ones in Germany,
- Sweden, Norway, Yugoslavia, and more.
- If you have internet access, you may obtain issues of ATI through the
- net by mailing me at ...uunet!tronsbox!akcs.groundzero.uucp . I have a
- sizable list of readers receiving ATI through the net, and would like to add
- more.
- Needless to say, please do upload ATI to your favorite boards, or mail
- copies of it to your net-friends. Spread this publication as far as you can!
- Also, you may obtain a full set of ATI back issues by sending $1 (and a
- disk if you can) to the address for ATI listed above. Back issues are
- available for the following computer types on 3.5" disks: IBM compatibles,
- Amiga, Atari ST, Macintosh, and Commodore. Commodore users may receive the
- issues on 3 1/2" or 5 1/4" disks (please specify which size you want).
- The ATI staff is also looking for submissions, large and small. If you
- have anything, whether it be a larger article or a small blurb 1 paragraph
- long you wish to contribute, please mail me at ATI's PO Box or at my net
- address listed above, or at the Workshop or TAP BBS's.
- Now, let's kick off this issue with Prime Anarchist World News, with his
- unique focus on earth-type stuff and other pressing issues of the day:
-
- p*a*w*n*p*a*w*n*p*a*w*n*p*a*w*n*p*a*w*n*p*a*w*n*p*a*w*n*p*a*w*n*p*a*w*n*

- Hola Buenos, El Anarchisto Primavera Aqui. Your libertarian at large,
- or was that seismologist at the switch? Or was it gynecologist at the
- Guggenheim???
- It's 415am. And a nice calm pleasant 60 degrees up here. I met an old
- friend of Jack Keroac'sand he owns a shanty up in the mountains here, 8
- miles up by donkee, 11 by foot. (Don't ask me, that's what the sign says).
- Can't tell you his name; he's one of those hippies who headed for the hills
- for some all too obvious reasons.He owns a Martin guitar from the 1940's
- has a book collection out there that makes the Library of Congress look like
- Nixon's home library, and charges 3.50 a bunk (room for 40 or more if we're
- small) with no hassles about customer name and address. I stumbled into
- this place by accident on a nature hike. (Why would I go 8 miles for a
- place to pee? Hmm)At any rate, I'll be returning there this morning sometime
- and I'll finish this column then.
- Til then; buenos nachos...
- Oh, one quickie -- a FOLK from Prime.(basic ADE blues) I got the Mercon
- buerocrat, fat boojuah status quo blues I got all-a trumps capital,
- nothin special to lose. Mercon buerocrat, fat boo-juah status quo blues.
- Was it as good for you as it was for me?
- Ever find yourself sleeping too deepto dream? Do "think-of's"; that'll
- bring you back out to REM-- you'll then start dreaming again. If you're
- not good at remembering your dreams when you wake up, keep a small notepad
- next to your bed. When you awake, jot down all the icons instead of trying
- to write the whole story. Then write later from your notes you'll lose less.
- eg: wineglass, pen,sarah, t-shirt, no smoking sign, kiss,ankle bracelet,
- ring, guitar, table,chair, bar, notebook, tongs. Then later you go for the
- story aspect. You're drinking wine at a coffee house with Sarah, exchanging
- poems, wanting to smoke. Sarah's wearing just a really long t-shirt, annkle-
- bracelet and a ring. You kiss her a couple times. You promise to teach
- her to play guitar as she admires the entertainment. She puts on her tongs
- and the two of you leave. Then you woke up.
- What ever happened to MRR magazine?If anyone knows, do tell. THNX
- "The Hopi people <indians for you who have no clue> declare that Hopi
- Power be a force which will bring about world peace." From their Hopi
- Declaration of Peace, circa 17Jun90.
- Beware of false prophets. If it looks too good to be true; it's probably
- tooooooooooooooo risky.
- Insider Info: most people who win on game shows do not naturally jump
- up and down so queerly as is seen on TV. We tend to sit there with a
- "potential mass murderer" grin on our faces. For this we need a coach. He
- makes the gals shake about enough to jiggle their tits in the most queer
- contrived fashion; and us guys are required to wiggle around like an
- uninhibited homosexual. So remember, if it looks real, theres probably an
- "applause" sign staring him down.
- If you spell quiche with a "k" (keesh?) then real men too will eat it.
- What's dharma mean? I drank a whole bottle full of acid rain. How
- come nothing happened for me except the men's room??? Define "yabyum".
- Whatever happened to the Frito Bandito??? Was he replaced by "just do
- it", and "sometimes you gotta break the rules"?!?!?!? I finally got a
- copy of "Skinny Legsand All" by Tom Robbins. I'll let ya know how I'm doin
- in a little bit. "A close association of unions and big business is the
- hallmark of a fascist economy." Wow. Que concept.From the book "Trilaterals
- Over Washington". Are we already there???Close??? Make a profit; or just
- look like one at Oral Roberts school of Business/Television Entertainment/
- and Gospel Phukking.
- Research Topic of the Week: A war on drugz can be seen as a diversion.
- Just like baseball, wife beating, or the drugz in and of themselves. PS:
- dont forget to turn your parents in if you think they're smoking pot. Witch
- Hunt? Nah... A war on Drugz cannot be "won" cause it is so deeply rooted
- in our culture. Like our violence, our drug abuse (to include for sure
- nicotene and alcohol) is not doubt here to stay. To get rid of drugz,
- you'd have to get rid of the peoploidz involved. And how do you rid
- yourself of your mayor,your sheriff, your mom or yourself???
- We shouldve kept the Injuns alive long enuff for them to learn us how
- to treat our environ. Enviro-tip of the week-- dont use too much
- detergent. Over sudsing makes the machine work harder. Use half what the
- box recommends. Maybe even less.Remember, they WANT you to use so much.Then
- you keep Mr. Maytag in 24$ per hr. Runner-up: Keep a couple bottles of
- water in the fridge rather than runnin the tap all the time. --good bottles
- are Verifine apple, and just about any grapefruit jug. Prime Note: always
- use glass. Shy away from plastic. Cause u'r gonna hafta throw it away SOME
- time!!!
- Suggestion of the decade: draw a square around yourself. Declare it a
- liberated zone. Kill anyone who enters.
- Who the hell is Peter Kvitek??? The self-proclaimed hacker said
- November 17th, in a SF Examiner article "the speed with which software is
- stolen in the Soviet Union is incredible!" Relax, dood. First off, it's no
- worse or faster than in Germany, Italy or here in the US. Who is this guy??
- Unless someone gets me a handle, a project, or a campaign, I'll just say the
- guy's a wannabe. Probably a code elite/cool warez" kinda dood.
- Everyone's a hacker these days. Right. When's the last time YOU trashed a
- TRW building? I'll bet there are just as many "hackers" today as there are
- people who supposedly "were there" at Woodstock!!!
- The average person's skull can be depressed by 10% before cracking-LM
- Boyd.
- Soldiers of the Kiori tribe in New Guinea salute their superior officers
- by lightly chucking them under the chin. Do that to your favorite Lieutenant
- Col. Don't foget to say, "hey guy, how's it goin?"
- Mooses are the largest North American member sof the deer family. Their
- average height is 6 feet, quite like us, but they weigh in at 1200-1800
- pounds. Even Rosanne and Oprah together don't weigh that much. Besides,
- moose don't whine.
- Delbert Yates, 16, of Valparaiso, IN has been in court for 6 years with
- the Chicago Cubs. They just paid him $67,500 as an apology for hitting him
- in the head with a foul ball. Come on, kid. That's the chance you gotta
- take. If I sued for all 3 windshields I'd lost behind the dugout, I'd
- probably stay in court until my 103rd birthday. You're a jerk, Yates. I
- suggest you've brought more shame to the game of baseball than Pete Rose,
- Pete Rose, and Pete Rose all combined.
- Are you a Yappy, or just Happy? YAP- Yipsters Against Paying.
- HAPPY- Hipsters Against Paying Phor Yuppiedom.
- I sure wish payphone directories would have more empty spaces, or at
- least more blank pages.
- Salvador's getting pretty hairy. I asked a phriend of mine (can't give
- his name for life or death purposes) who really knows a lot about our
- mission down there how much is Castro and how mush is us; and guess what
- he said? 80-20 us.
- Feedback: I really like the Skinhead Hamlet in ATI45.
- On car insurance: You notice the rates go up every time they see a new
- risk, but when a risk is alleviated (IE: drunk driving) rates don't go
- down? They just stay the same.
- As your editor-at-large, I firmly announce that it's earth day, earth
- decade, earth millenium. In corrolary
- to having been asked "what'r u doin 4 earth day?" I have to ask - WHAT ARE
- YOU DOING FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE?
- University of Colorado won best college for the environment, an MTV
- award. If you missed it, you missed me. You also missed Paul Newman, and
- also Mytch Snyder, along with a bunch of people doing 30 second spots on what
- they're doing for the environment. For those of you who missed me, here's
- a transcript: (I didn't jot down what the starz said, sorry) "I do a lot of
- biking, and try to hike or walk whenever I can instead of driving."
- Ian McCulloch split for E & the B-Men. And I think he sucks alone.

- There is only one Spaceship Earth, and there is no spare. We are the
- crew. Let's all join together in sharing these symbols to help promote
- positive global awareness and to celebrate our essential unity. (OK, the flag
- is $49, but everythung else is still cheap. There are 2 smaller sizes in you
- can't swing a $50 (only YUPPIES can swing that much these days! -GZ). But
- waving that flag is cool. And anyone who'd burn THAT one's a fool.)
- While wwearing Birkenstocks, if people ask ya "how're ya doing?", tell
- em, "Great!"
- THIS JUST IN FROM SPY MAGAZINE - "The US Army is proud by definition,
- so it's easy for them to come right out and admit it when they break into a
- Panamanian dictator's home and seize his Mexican food. At least that's what
- one American on the scene thought the 50 pounds of a suspicious powdery
- substance at Manny's residence looked like - tamale filling. But there were
- other opinions. "We were sure it was coccaine", insisted the colonel whose
- troops made the cache. "It was not coccaine", a Pentagon spokesman said a
- month later. Turns out it was not tamales, but close. The army confiscated
- farina, cornmeal, and lard, wrapped in banana leaves. Loss of military face?
- No way. Too proud.
- Call Kurt Vonnegut (Wash. DC area) and ask him where you could buy a
- bearskin coat like he's got. Really cool lookin. So 40's.

- WHY I'M SEMIVEGETARIAN, by Prime.
- A, I don't like imposing on people;
- B, I'm a sucker for chili, and,
- C, oftentimes I'd starve if I went without meat.
- If you're eating over someone's house (I do a lot), you eat what's on
- the table. You're an ass for refusing, or demanding. Plus sometimes menus
- don't come right out and say there's meat in a particular dish. And for
- time benefits, I eat and shut up instead of saying "Uh, waitress..."
- Yeah, I'm partial to chili with more beans and less meat, but I'll eat
- just about any chili thrown at me. As long as it's hot. Hot to temperature
- as well as hot to the taste buds. Oh, I also prefer homemade (hint, hint)
- to Hormel (hormel is a capitalist pig co. !!! - GZ)
- Sometimes you just don't have much choice. When veggies aren't around,
- salad is wilted, or meat and potatoes is the only bit offered, you do what
- you must. The commune I live at doesn't make it too easy either. The
- foodage is extremely starchy, and chock full of red meat. But I get by. I
- usually lean towards fish meals, and for druthers take chicken or turkey
- first; but sometimes break down and grab a tenderloin or a shoeleather-
- cheeseburger.
- I never worry as I go to fast-food chains. A full-fledged vegg could
- easily survive a Big Mac or Whopper. There's really no beef to speak of
- there.
