I would like to go, if it is conveniently near to Manchester (UK), when I get
my time-travelling machine back from the repairers.
When is it actually? Where and what times and dates is it?

Any chance of us seeing those cartoons?
Please what is the WWW address of that fiction, or is it already in the SHADO
Library?

Sorry, I thought that that "1999" was a mistyped.date. Omitting "Space" from
"Space: 1999" confused me. I saw a link to it just now, and it seems to be in
New York, quite out of reach for me in Manchester in England.

It we abandon FAB-UFO and Pipex, what will happen to FAB-UFO group's archives?
Willl they still be somewhere where people can read them?

Perhaps I could put them on my website. Based on my private
archiving of the discussions, it looks like there's about 30 MB of
text. Although I would likely *not* store them as two-day digests,
as 1200 files is a bit overwhelming! Instead, I'd probably put them
in 6-month archives, which would make each file around 1-3 MB.

If they were left as small files but all zipped together as one or a few
zipfiles, that would make them a lot smaller. Then each user could download
the lot once and for all and then could root through them at leisure on his
own computer with Winzip. An archive file a megabyte or more long would take a
LOT of time and phone bill to download at dialup line speed every time a user
wanted to look for something.

If its at all possible not knowing how big the archives are the Egroups
sites have about 20 megs of space available in the files section so if the
archives are less then that and can be moved they could go there.

That is if you WANT to move to Egroups which seems to be taking over the
internet one mailing list at a time!

I think I gave the wrong answer to that convention question before, there is
a fall convention being run by Fanderson in the UK details of which I'm sure
are on the Fanderson web site.

I'm going to Main Mission 2000 September 1 - 3!
