Folks,

In about a month, I plan to shut down the info-apple distribution from
BRL.  I have tried, unsuccessfully, to get another site or another
person to pick up the list.

BRL has no need for info-apple because we have full access to the UseNet
groups and can avail ourselves of comp.sys.apple with no additional
burden whatever.  The sheer volume of Internet mail traffic overburdens
our mail system and our gateways, resulting in vast queues of mail that
must be "pushed" by hand.  Such an event occurred very recently, some of
you will remember.  
	
In view of the effort to start up a second apple UseNet group,
comp.sys.apple2.tech, where TECHNICAL discussions concerning Apple II
computers would be held, this seems like an appropriate time to take
action.

As you know, many of your sites have a UseNet feed.  Others of you can
easily obtain a feed of comp.sys.apple at your site.  Some of you will
have to make private arrangements to have someone with UseNet access
forward you comp.sys.apple items by e-mail.  I have listed what I know
about this problem at the end of this letter.

Please feel free to use info-apple as a bulletin board to enquire about
alternative access.  Please feel free to ask me questions, too.  I'll do
what I can to ease the transition for everyone.

Cheers,
