There is an Apple VAR in Hull, Mass. that sells systems geared toward
producing newspapers on Macintoshes and laser printers. The Hull
Newsweekly is their test bed and it looks very nice for a community
tab. They are newspaper savvy and are in tune with real world
constraints, e.g. they do not try to do it without paste-up.

The company is called Community Publications Network and they can be
reached at:

	CPN, Inc.
	816 Nantasket Ave.
	Hull, MA 02045
	(617) 925-4017

Ask for Rod Young or Susan Ovans.

Disclaimer: CPN, Inc. has been a client of MURSU Corporation, of which
I am a principal. MURSU, however, has no formal vested interest in CPN's
sales of Apple equipment or their value-added products.
