I think that Ye Ole ByteBuyer is missing the boat.  The very
first place I check is the telcom section, first the On-line Sandy
Eggo section, then the BBS list.  Greatest continuing feature in the
rag.  Especially with the increase in "fluff" articles lately.  Maybe
the electronic edition could accomadate the extra lines of
description/thrust.  I'm sure the system admins would send in the
resumes on their boxes.

Don't get me wrong.  Still an outstanding bargain, but folks
always complain and things can always be improved.  I'm happy
that you threw your tantrum Ron.

BTW--saw another freebie comp mag from Orange county a few weeks
ago.  Doesn't even come close to the quality of "our" freebie.
