Hi, I tried sending this via a bunch of dofferent paths, but it kept on
bouncing.  Hey everybody, unless you're connected directly to a backbone site,
please supply a path.  Thanks.  And now, on with the letter...

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE digitize every photo you have and send me
uuencodes via mail.  The comp.{binaries,sources}.amiga groups are down until
further notice, so posting the photos would not be very fruitful, so PLEASE
mail copies to me.  My uucp mail path is below.  I'm ON MY KNEES!!!  PLEASE
do it TODAY!!

On a more serious note, if it's going to cost you, I'll be happy to pay a
reasonable amount to get the photos sent here.  In fact, if you could get
another set of prints made, I'll gladly pay for that in addition to the
digitizations (if I had to pick one, of course I'd prefer prints).  I really
want to present this rumor to the Boston-area Amiga group of which I'm a
member.  If you could get a few of the people from your Users' Group together
to recall what was stated at the demo, an accompanying text file will lend a
lot of credibility to the photos.  But please get me those photos.  Really!

Thanks much!
