It occurs to me that I should mention this here.  According to the
current plan, I'm hoping to demonstrate the Stargate experiment, using
some sample netnews messages, on Thursday Jan. 24, from 2 until 5 PM
at the Fairmont Hotel in some (still unclear) location.  A rented
dish is being brought in, and we can only hope that everything 
works with that rented equipment over which we have no control.

Stargate involves the transmission of netnews materials over the
vertical blanking interval of "Superstation" WTBS, available in
over 30 million locations via over 8000 cable companies.  This
is an ongoing experiment that I am performing with support
from the WTBS satellite carrier, Usenix, Bell Communications Research, 
Fortune Systems, and other entities.  For details, please check the 
archives of net.news and (recently) net.news.stargate.

Thanks.
