I would like to invite readers of comp.society.futures to join us. To use the system, your site must be a full Internet site, running BSD, SunOS, or VMS (A System V version has not been completed). As well, I would like to offer my assistance in setting up new sites. Side Note: Two languages are prevalent on irc; English and Finnish. English is the language of choice when members from different countries are talking; Finnish is used by Finns when talking to other Finns, and that only in some cases. RichardT richardt@mica.berkeley.
