IMPORTANT NOTE: These T-shirts are only available *now* -- well,Ť until say the middle of November 1991. Why? Because we've onlyŤ got few screens, and we strip the old images off and reuse them.Ť So hurry up if you're interested. (You can always ask; drop aŤ note (preferably by FidoNet). -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- The OMNIARCHY T-shirts have on the front a large "circle O" (likeŤ the circled "A" of anarchism, but better) with "OMNIARCHY!"Ť emblazoned beneath it for the less well-informed. On the back itŤ says in huge letters "WE'RE ALL IN CHARGE!" and in teensy lettersŤ up at the top, "Shred of Dignity", which is us in anotherŤ disguise. -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- The Alan M. Turing shirt has a '51 photo of AMT and theŤ inscription: Alan Mathison Turing (1912--1954) Invented the stored-program digital computer (1936); broke WWII German ENIGMA cypher (1941); defined modern programming concepts (1946); designed world's first operating computer (Manchester, June, 1948); openly and unapologetically homosexual. -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- The LIBERTY T-shirt is a slight (ahem) variation on the famousŤ and beautiful Standing Liberty from the turn of the centuryŤ 20-dollar gold piece ("golden eagle"). She's had a fashionŤ makeover and is now the height of late 90's paranoid DiscordianŤ style. In her left hand is a five-leafed branch of cannabis; inŤ her right Kallisti's Golden Apple. In the background are 23 rays;Ť on her head, appropriately enough, her long flowing hair hasŤ become liberty spikes. She has a Sacred Chao tattoo on her leftŤ arm; one breast is bared as she stands in defiance. She's hot.Ť There's other tiny details all appropriately buried in variousŤ nooks and crannies. -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- The calendar is a true Discordian calendar, with the five seasonsŤ as outlined in PRINCIPIA DISCORDIA, for the year 3158 POEE. (TheŤ old Discordian saw goes, "73 days hath Chaos, Discord, Confusion,Ť Beaurocracy and Aftermath".) Each is Illustrated in the properŤ manner, and has a Julian to Discordian converter table. -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- "Do-It-Yourself Automotive LPG Conversion" is a 36 page bookŤ describing converting my car from gasoline to LPG (propane) as aŤ motor fuel. It has some background, comparison to other fuels,Ť personal experiences and a basic how-to of the process andŤ equipment involved. While it may not be enough for you toŤ complete the project end to end, it will tell you what'sŤ involved, how it works and definitely set you in the rightŤ direction. (PS: after a year and a couple of 5,000 mile roadŤ trips, I can tell you it's a truly great fuel. No more gasolineŤ for me!) -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- FidoTerm is my version of the best telecomm/modem program in theŤ world. Of course, there are lots of them. Mine has a realŤ programming language built in, very complete but kinda obscure.Ť It "remembers" the last few hundred screen lines. Fido/FidoNetŤ can invoke it via the "F" local console command. It does ZMODEM,Ť XMODEM (both flavors) and some pretty nice text transfers. -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- Fido the Book and Fido/FidoNet is of course the original FidoNetŤ program that started all this nonsense. It is exceedinglyŤ reliable -- you can literally leave it running for months at aŤ time without a hiccup. It is compact, very fast, easilyŤ customizable, supports all popular file-transfer protocols, andŤ probably the easiest BBS for new users and still powerful forŤ experts. It's drawbacks are: only one phone line per FidoŤ (DesqView aware though) and doesn't support FidoNet HOLD packetsŤ -- yet. Still the most robust and clean BBS, and the onlyŤ integrated BBS/FidoNet system. The manual is a bit dated, but aŤ new one is in the works and the FIDO HELP conference is filledŤ with experienced sysops. -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- -*-*- HOMOCORE BAD POETRY ISSUE #5 1/2's are still available. They areŤ gigantic format, 2ft x 3ft, two sheets, with artwork on one sideŤ and bad poetry on the other (what else). If occasional swearŤ words and graphic sexual matter offend you, spare us both theŤ trouble and don't buy one.
