Mike Losing His Account

Mike Losing His Account

alt.ascii-art · 9 messages · 23 Mar 1994 - 28 Mar 1994
Gumby is going down, so Mike Jittlov ("The Wizard of Speed and 
Time", my ascii portrait, local ghod of alt.fan.mike-jittlov,
all-around wizard....) is losing his account because his machine 
will no longer exist.

Is there another caltech sysadm out there who'd be willing to 
offer Mike an account? -Or anybody else on the internet who's
local to him who can offer him a free account?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Best,

-Meriday Beth

What's in it for me? He could always petition my sysadmin for one, but 
he'd have to make LD phone calls to get here.

        Netcom.com isn't _free_... But it _is_ less than twenty dollars a 
month... (We could help pay for it... Oh, right... Darn. <9-)  )

How about we all chip in and buy him a year's worth of access to Netcom?  :)

I think it's about $17 per month...  (I really don't know because my netcom
account is a gift to me by some really sweet people...)

I probably should have mentioned that Mike's local-call radius
encompasses the area immediately surrounding Hollywood, CA USA :)
Freenet (interesting system... :) ) is in Canada, and therefore
would *not* be a local call for Mike...

Caltech is a local call; Netcom would be local, but is not free....

Isn't there *some* caltech sysadm -or friend of a local sysadm- who
would be willing to help, and give Mike a free local account?

Countdown...*days* -and counting...

	Try the Los Angeles Valley College BBS. Mail and news for
free. (818) 985-7392.
	There must be 500 places to get free mail and news cheaply
from an LA exchange. Get 'Computer Currents' or 'Micro Times' and
have a ball.

WARNING!  Shameless Plug --> Heck, there's even a place in Detroit's
                             northern suburbs that offers news
                             and mail for $5 per month.  B-)

Too bad we're a long distance call for Mike, though.  B-(
