Ok, how about a commercial message? Well here goes and you can hit the
N key if you can't take it. Ready.....?

1) MIND LINK has many good programmers prepared to answer questions.

2) MIND LINK has a 100 MEG plus area to download (or upload) PD
Software.

3) MIND LINK has 8 lines and has over 300 users. Although it was set
up for all computers the AMIGA crowd from our user group has dominated
the system since it's inception in January of 87.

4) MIND LINK was set up to be profitable but only based on what it
could reasonably charge. Does $12 CDN ($10 US) per year sound like a
lot? Check and see what the long distance charges are to Vancouver BC
CANADA. I would love to know what they are so drop me a note.

The number is (604) 533-2312. Log in as GUEST and type APPLY.
