I login to the WELL via Telenet's PC Pursuit ser- vice 2 or 3 times a week. ( I *would* like to see 2400baud access in more than a mere "7 major cities" in the US, but Time may be on my side in this. ) >There are less expensive places to read usenet . . . This is quite true! I use my rig at work & drive the cost ( to *me*!! ;-) right down to zero. >the WELL's main attraction is its local conferences available nowhere else. & the user community involved therein! Though your mileage will probably vary considerably, *I* think there are some excellent minds on that box & I like knowing they're there & accessible to me. -- randy@polecat.llnl.gov futor@ocfmail.ocf.llnl.gov
