   Welcome aboard to Tampa and Battle Creek!!!


TMG MOVES TO FULL-TIME NPTN

   On October 28th, I tendered my resignation from Case Western 
Reserve University, effective November 13th.  On November 16th 
I'll start work as the full-time president of NPTN in our new 
offices.

   To put it in a nutshell, folks, I had to make a choice.  Either 
enjoy the luxury of a consistent paycheck from now until retire-
ment--and kill NPTN; or follow the dream and take my chances.  I 
chose the latter.  (What's life without some risks, huh?)

   So, as of November 16th we're "out there."  (And I gotta tell 
you... fund-raising takes on a whole new dimention when your 
mortgage depends on it.)

   Yes, it's a risky move; but if I didn't think it would work; if 
I didn't think we were going to make it; I wouldn't have done it.  
If we all hang-in there and keep on working, the pieces WILL fall 
into place.  We are so very close.


NPTN MOVES TO NEW OFFICES

   Along with this job change, NPTN will be moving its physical 
location from CWRU to NPTN TOWERS our new high-rise, techno-
industrial complex in Moreland Hills, Ohio.  (Actually, we've got 
some windowless space in the basement of an office building--but, 
what the heck, you can't tell that on a computer, right?)

   NPTN TOWERS will be located in Moreland Hills, Ohio (an eastern 
suburb of Cleveland) where our new physical address will be:

   National Public Telecomputing Network
   34555 Chagrin Blvd.
   Moreland Hills, Ohio 44022

   (If you're in the area, it's at the corner of Chagrin and SOM 
Center road.)

   The telephone numbers are not known yet, as we don't have the 
phones installed.  The old mailing address (Box 1987, Cleveland, 
Ohio 44106) will remain valid, at least for the moment.

   Once the dust settles, my primary e.mail address will be 
shifting to: tmg@nptn.org.  aa001@cleveland.freenet.edu will still 
be good, however, but I will be automatically forwarding all mail 
from that account to nptn.org

   As soon as we get the new phone numbers, etc. I'll get them out 
to you.


LISTSERV ON HOLD

   The plans for the listserv that I mentioned in my last "All 
Hands" message are on hold for the time being.  It seems that our 
little Sun IPC may not be able to handle the volume of traffic 
that we are anticipating.  Rather than start something and then 
have to break it off, we've decided to hold until the technical 
problems can be solved.


AND SPEAKING OF THE SUN...

   The Sun computer (nptn.org) is now physically located at the 
NPTN Techno-Industrial Complex.  However, this Friday from 7:15 to 
about midnight the power company will be doing some work on the 
lines and it will be down during that period.


   That's all for now, but stay tuned... this will be a very fast 
moving period for NPTN.
