>How does one become a usenet node (for my home machine)

We're very sorry. I just checked with the administrator, and we're
backlogged with applications. The earliest availability for a new USENET
node will be January, 1989, when the new fiscal year allows us further
expansion. Until then, I suggest you call the Usenet, Inc. offices to
request an application packet. Fill it out (don't forget to attach a copy of
your business plan, and the application fee of $1367.23, perferably in Guilders)
and send it back as soon as possible to reserve the slot.

To contact the the Usenet, Inc. administrative offices, call
1-800-USE-NET.  The offices are open on Tuesdays and Alternate Fridays
between 8AM and 930AM, Hawaian Standard time. Please have ready the (1)
make of your computer, (2) it's serial number, (3) a major credit card,
and (3) your serial number, um, social security number.  This will help
us process your request.

Thanks for your support,

	Usenet, INC.
