Excellent e-magazine! Keep up the good work. How about setting up a recipients mailing-list? It would be easier to get Teletimes by e-mail rather than having to ftp it.

Anyone can receive Teletimes by e-mail by simply sending their e-mail address, city and country of residence and computer type to: ianw@wimsey.com I will then put you on either the graphical macintosh mailing list or the plain ASCII text mailing list.

I think the magazine is very cool! Of course, I love the fact that you have illustrations and images in the publication. I would like to offer some assistance in getting you electronic images and info related to NASA if you are at all interested. Please contact me via e-mail. Thanks...look forward to hearing from you.

Bill, I am interested in your offer. I wrote back to you twice but haven't received any replies yet. Hopefully you will read this and contact me.

Keep up the good work!

We'll do our best! Please feel free to make any comments or suggestions that you feel might help to improve Teletimes.

Thanks for a colourful and insightful publication. The quality of writing could tightened in certain instances, but some of the articles, for example Euan Taylor's "Just do it", are excellent. I look forward to the next edition.

On financial contributions, if you could take credit cards (say through a business colleague) soliciting donations would be a much more fruitful exercise. The Info-Mac quest for a new disc proved this overwhelmingly. It's easy for the donor, and bypasses the limitations of national currencies.

On another point, have you thought of publishing your periodical on the World Wide Web? Although you couldn't control the view font, you could still enclose the graphics, and with hypertext contents pages have just the same sort of functionality. WWW is multiplatform, and there are now clients for all the major platforms, Unix, W3.1 & Mac.

I took your advice and looked into WWW. It looks like Teletimes will be on-line by January, if not sooner. Please read the Editor's Note for more on this.
