To All: Since laughter is conceded to be good medicine for the soul I thought I would ship this recently received version of the TOURBUS to all on the PIE. The TOURBUS is a weekly publication dealing with a little of everything and has a LOT about computers, phony email VIRUS's, various web sites and more. I have been using it for a couple years and haven't been disappointed yet. Best wishes.......Jack **************************************************************************** >Approved-By: [log in to unmask] >Date: Thu, 7 Jan 1999 00:41:36 -0500 >Reply-To: [log in to unmask] >Sender: The Internet TourBus - A virtual tour of cyberspace > <<[log in to unmask]> >From: Bob Rankin <<[log in to unmask]> >Subject: TOURBUS - 5 Jan 1999 - More Good Mailing Lists >To: [log in to unmask] > > _________ ____________ ________ __________ _____________ ___ _ > / | / | | / | \ > | "Why | Surf When / You Can | Ride The | Bus?" / | \ > |__________|__________/__________|__________|___________/ | \ > / /______|----\ >| Game time - REPUTATIONS are at stake.
