79.0. "Announcing: Once Upon A Time-Out" by JUNIPR::DMCLURE (Vaxnote your way to ubiquity) Fri Sep 26 1986 03:44

    	Are you a Net-Surf Cruiser?  Have you surfed the tubular micro-waves of
    DECnet yet?  Find out how by reading the fantastic experiences of those
    who have in note #390.* of the Science Fiction notesfile (MTV::SF) named
    "Once Upon A Time-Out".  

    	Those who are Net-Surf Cruisers, we need you!  Come share your exper-
    iences in the note and help others still trapped inside of time-warps to
    escape the clutches of the Net-Police, the Terrorist-Deletors, and the
    terrible bugs!!!

    	Learn more about our computer network than you ever dreamed imaginable!
    Everything there is to know about computers from the micro-chips, to the
    storage devices, across the network lines, to the output devices by listen-
    ing to people who have actually seen all of these things as they describe
    them in full detail!

    	Learn to surf the gnarly micro-waves yourself!  Meet all sorts of
    network creatures and characters along the way, and try to avoid all of
    the dangers of the net!  Together we can surf the gnarliest waves of
    the network which curl in a split-second!  Don't forget, you're network
    destiny awaits, so don't delay...

79.3	Come-on, where's your sense of adventure?	JUNIPR::DMCLURE	Vaxnote your way to ubiquity	`Fri Sep 26 1986 14:24`	12
	re: ?, Use your imagination. Go read note 390.* in MTV::SF to learn a little about computers, the net, and people in general in a fun sort of way. See you there, bye! -davo p.s. Excuse all of the surfing lingo, I just got back from Florida. I really can't surf worth sh*t, but I can fantasize! Besides, net-surfing is only an expression I conjured-up. Sorry if it confused everybody.

79.5	Net-Surfers defeated?	JUNIPR::DMCLURE	Vaxnote your way to ubiquity	`Mon Sep 29 1986 16:01`	13
	The Net-Surfers have suffered a major set-back in their attempts to unite the noting community in an all-out effort to better understand the concepts involved in computer science and software engineering. However, their recent defeat at the hands of the Terrorist Deletors has only strengthened their resolve to achieve their goals and they have not given up despite the loss of their temporary beach-head in the MTV::SF notesfile. -davo p.s. Are we having fun yet? :-)
79.6	Write home Net-surfers	SHEILA::CHEQUER	Rucki_Zucki	`Tue Oct 21 1986 02:38`	9
	Where to Boy-O, I have many stories from many strange contexts, all I need is a little space and a bit of Ctime, until we have a place to relive past processes, I'll paddle in loops on my disk and just battle with the local Null. Regards Tanned Odd_Bit
79.7	A note in a bottle washed-up on shore reveals:	VLNVAX::DMCLURE	Peace in the fast-lane	`Tue Oct 21 1986 11:52`	5
	Net-Surfers have reunited and resumed taming the pounding microwaves of DECnet on yet another beach. Send me mail for details! -davo
