Lines: 57 Keywords: CommuniTree I apologize for adding yet another message about Computer Literacy, but it was never mentioned that they are running CommuniTree (whatever that is) software whenever the store is closed on some computer so you can access the bookstore. The following is quoted from their info sheet: "Now you can access the bookshop after hours using your computer and modem. We will be running the CommuniTree network software evenings and all night. You will be able to browse through our newsletters, ask questions, 'talk' with computer book authors and read and write book reviews. You will be able to discuss computer books, computer topics, magazines, current events, even books which you think need to be written, with other computer users around the country. This is also your chance to have your ideas heard by bookstores, publishers, and authors. It seems to us that the CommuniTree software is the best way to simulate the everyday workings of our store. The store and the network are both interactive media whose primary purpose is the exchange of information. If you don't have easy access to Sunnyvale, this is your opportunity to experience the exciting atmosphere that this kind of exchange generates. Let us know what you think." Hours of operation (please call only during these times): Monday thru Friday: 8:30PM - 9:00AM Saturday and Sunday: 24 hours (These are hours when there is no human help available). To access the Computer Literacy Bookshop Network, 1) Have your modem dial (408) 730-9959 2) Hit two carriage returns to log on It has on-line help available. I think "R HELP" is what you type. I tried it and it works, though I had no interest in reading anything so I didn't. By the way, their address is: Computer Literacy Bookshop 520 Lawrence Expressway, Suite 310 Sunnyvale, CA 94086 (408) 730-9955 (credit card orders and customer service) Five bucks gets "Silicon Valley Favorites" Mail Order Catalog. I decided to post this because it says that it's for people who don't have access to the store, and that's most of you out there. If you live in Silicon Valley, don't flame me for spreading this information about "our" secret. DISCLAIMER: I have no connection with the bookstore except having bought two books there and working a couple miles up the street from them.
