Jay Miner can now be found roaming the halls of the AmigaZone on American

Ah.  So I see you are on CI$.  I used to use CI$$. Now I've descovered PLINK,
where lots of great Amiga action takes place.  I don't have their 1-800
number handy but you can call Chicago information at 312-555-1212 and
get the number for American Peoplelink.

(Nope I don't work for or with PLINK.  I just think it's the best)
