There used to be a finger address for them, before the World-wide Web was
launched. I _thought_ they closed it down a long time ago. The URL
http:/www.wunderground.com
doesn't work for you?

following telnet address:
telnet://rainmaker.wunderground.com

Okay, what's not eating the Box Elder Bugs? I have seen
quite a few around here. Some brave enough to come into the house.
I don't recall this as a seasonal thing, like the late autumn
buldge in the ladybug population.

THe box elder bugs are usually a late summer / fall thing. I'm surprised you
haven't noticed them until this year.

I seen them around, particlularly when they come out in the spring.
But this is the first time I recall seeing so many. Makes me wonder
if the local birdies are sick or sumpthin'.

They seem to go up and down in cycles. Every few years there's an
unusually big crop of them.

resp:133 -- SDF (telnet sdf.lonestar.org, www.freeshell.org) has a gopher
client, i believe. whether that means it's still around, i'm not sure.

thanks for the wunderground. I was stuck at my parents using a Powerbook 140
with local shell access. (You would all get a kick out of my mother signing
the "shell access agreement". I told her it was one legal document she would
never begin to understand, so don't even read it. She's 81, and not much of
a hacker.)

The technology (and the culture) is changing fast, though. If you want a few
thousand copies made the traditional way, then yeah, it's going to be
expensive and difficult. On the other hand there's now a machine to print
& bind a book on demand, so it would be easier to have a few dozen copies
made.
Then there's online distribution, which would be even easier.

While I can certainly go searching / surfing the web to see what's out there,
I would be appreciative if there were a grexer with specific references based
on experience / knowledge could relate them.
