Jeff,
	I hate to burst your bubble about MCSnet only being
aroung for the last year or so, but I have in my hand a receipt
dated March 14, 1988 for a 6 month account from Macro Computer
Solutins, Inc. (A.K.A. MCSnet).  This was when I first joined the
system, and though we've only had live internet for about the
last year, rest assured that Karl has been running his system for
more than 5 years.

	I don't know about any of the other internet providers in
the Chicago area, but I can say that I've been very pleased with
the service that Karl offers.  His support and service are
outstanding. Questions are quickly answered; problems are
resolved right away.

	I just wanted to set the record straight.

George
