Here you may inquire about the existance (and nearest location) of Amiga-related Echoconferences. Looking for a specific file (and issuing warnings about those containing viri, trojans, and/or commercial software), compatability problems between modems and mailers, user/file validation techniques, problems and last but not least, how to keep your sanity while doing all of the above will be considered valid discussion techniques. In addition, this echo is to serve as the 'general chatter' communications device for all nodes connected to the Amiga_Software Distribution System (ADS). This echo is for SYSOP's ONLY, and is NOT to be available in any way, shape, or form to the general userbase.

This echo is dedicated to the transmission of information about the entertainment and educational qualities of the Mac, information not readily found in IBM type gaming magazines, and increasingly neglected by MacUser/MacWorld. Welcome in this echo are: games reviews, information about new releases and upgrades of entertainment/educational software, posts about software for sale, and gaming strategies and hints. Lobbying for your favorite games, and critical comparisons of software are welcome, for example Wizardry vs Might & Magic, Typing Tutor vs Type!, etc. Moderator: Bob Nordling 1:396/13 Last Updated: 04/29/91 No. of Nodes: 90 Volume: 400/month Restr: Distribution: BACKBONE, GATE ZONE-2 VIA 1:107/412, GATE RBBS VIA 1:129/34 Gateways: n/a Rule File: n/a Seen-by: n/a Paths: n/a Macintosh For Sale/Wanted MACFSALE Posting of non commercial ads for Apple Macintosh and related equipment, hardware and software.

Alter even one part of that equation, and most of our society doesn't know how to deal with you. Chances are, our government doesn't want to deal with your unique situation, either. That doesn't make YOU crazy; it just means THEY don't understand. If you're interested in altering that equation, or if you're interested in legislation or bureaucracy that tries to make us conform our reproductive lives to their standards, join us. This echo is intended to be a support group and a clearinghouse for information that affects our most personal family decisions. An open mind and a willingness to tolerate others' choices is a prequisite for joining this conference. Contact Donna at 114/113.11 to establish links; we hope to be on the backbone before long.

For the novice, we discuss the types of satellite equipment available for the average homeowner, with advice from satellite dealers nationwide. For the current dishowner, TVRO explores the politics that has moved this infant industry since its start in the early 1980's. From the influence of cable television on dish owners to the issue of signal piracy, TVRO participants range from cable company officials to TVRO activists trying to reregulate the cable television industry which has been accused of keeping TVRO from being a competitive threat. The 90's bring new topics to TVRO as well, from the new Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) services to fiber optic "Telco TV" and wireless cable.

"Shareware" is copyrighted software which is distributed by authors through bulletin boards, on-line services, disk vendors, and copies passed among friends. It is commercial software which you are allowed to try out before you pay for it. This conference also includes discussions about public domain, or PD software. "Public domain" has a very specific legal meaning. It means that the creator of a work (in this case, a piece of software) who had legal ownership of that work, has given up ownership and dedicated the work "to the public domain". Once something is in the public domain, anyone can use it in any way they choose, and the author has no control over the use and cannot demand payment for it. The echo is carried internationally and users of the echo are scattered throughout the world. As such, and since international calling is so expensive, off-topic message restrictions are strictly enforced. Members of the conference include many individuals who are very experienced in the use of shareare, including those who have written a variety of shareware utilities and programs. New members and novice users are welcome and encouraged to share their experiences, opinions and questions.

Acceptable topics include space and its related sciences and technologies, plus relative political and industrial issues. We are interested in the space development environment of the present and the near future, not scenarios so far into the future as to fall under science fiction. Space is BIG, but the focus of this conference is tight. While some chit-chat on physics, astrophysics, and astronomy is acceptable, discussions on HAM communications, extraterrestrials, UFOs, paranormal phenomena, future mutant humans are not. The Space Development Conference is for activists and settlers, and most certainly for humans only. It focuses on news and issues of current space development activity.

Opinions are welcome, as is the pooling of information on King, and where to find those "hard to find" writings.

The echo is carried internationally and users of the echo are scattered throughout the world. As such, and since international calling is so expensive, off-topic message restrictions are strictly enforced. Members of the conference include many individuals who are very experienced in the use of Opus, including those who have written a variety of Opus related utilities, as well as past and present developers of Opus itself. Code fragments are regularly entered and passed via the echo. Several systems carrying the echo serve as repositories for the messages / code fragments which are transmitted via the echo. New members and novice users are welcome and encouraged to share their experiences, opinions and questions.
