[My original article had a european distribution, I'm putting this
article on a world distribution to catch the more detached parts of
Europe.  If you are outside Europe then you can hit "n" now...]

Hi,

Two weeks back I posted a proposal for a NeXT-On-Campus like
magazine for the UK/Europe.

To summarise, this is intended to be a no-money co-operative
magazine produced in WriteNow format and distributed electronically
to all interested people.  Articles could be contributed by anyone
who could put the work in, and a few of us (probably based here at
York initially) would edit it together and start the distribution.
The scope of the magazine was to be NeXT users within Europe, and
would probably have a slight bias to Academic users 'cos we have the
facilties to put it together, although we would welcome input from
any interested parties.

I have got very few replies back, and so was considering dropping
the idea.  However I have been persuaded that it is worth putting
together a trial issue to see how it goes, so I'll do that when
things quieten down a bit - say mid July.  I have had some interest
from one of the UKs NeXT dealers who is willing to contribute, and I
will try approaching NeXT UK themselves.

If you are interested in this idea, then please contact me by email
(NeXTmail is OK) - especially if you have any articles you would be
willing to contribute.  I will probably put in some technicalish
stuff on adding hardware to slabs (I am about to try adding a disk
and DAT to our systems), and that will include information on where
we can get good pricing for the hardware.

	Nigel.

PS Yes I know about the UK NeXT User Group, and Connect Magazine.
   We started this idea up because we thought Connect is vastly
   overpriced, and the User Group looked not up to much!
