We have had good response to our call for volunteers.
Thank you to all who have replied.

We have two small announcements to make at this time.

1.  A good number of people within NeXT Computer, Inc. have signed
    up to participate in the experiment.  Due to concerns within
    NeXT about network security, the PsyLog program will be distributed
    within NeXT using a separate channel.  NeXT employees who wish to
    participate can obtain PsyLog from Lars Rabbe in IS.  Your data
    will be encrypted and sent directly to the Adult Human Abilities
    Project at the University of Virginia.

2.  We need some more volunteers.  We especially need people who
    consider themselves unlikely or unwilling to volunteer.  If
    you are such a person, please do help us out.  Sometimes the
    people who don't volunteer are different than the people who
    do.  We need _everyone_!  Do it today!
