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.

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...) -Elana

NO WAY! > 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?

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-(
