Ford Falcon XB model sedan, 1976 with beige duco for sale.
  Other features include brand new clutch and reconditioned radiator, and
recently replaced shocks and tyres.  Registration expires 6/93.
  The car is in good order mechanically and has had little use since I
obtained it. 
  Why so cheap?  Believe it or not I won this lot in a competition run by
a prominent radio station.  Just need the cash.  At this price, I imagine
there will be a good response, so reply by e-mail to arrange to check it
out soon.  I have seen exactly the same model advertised for over $2,500
in many places.
  Of course, I will obtain a Road Worthy Certificate before transfer of
sale.

Matt.

                           Mini Tower Case

There's nothing broken between munnari and metro.  I suspect the
"problem" might be that metro isn't running INN, but rather is collecting
batches of news and then feeding them to C news, while they're collecting
a batch its easily possible for an article to travel around the world
and come back via an alternate path and end up getting batched twice.
When that happens I wouldn't like to guess which copy of the article will
end up being processed.

It probably depends on the length of the nntp connections, our nntp
link to metro only rarely closes, so the batch files from munnari will
mostly be created only when metro's nntp feels the need, its possible
other paths open the connection, send an article or two, then close it,
which might tend to push their articles into metro's cnews first.

ps: I'm not exactly sure of the need for a link between uow and norway,
but assuming such links (anything leaving Aust) need to exist, please
make sure that you don't send "aus" distribution (which has nothing to
do with "aus" newsgroups) to anywhere outside Australia.

Tell me about it !

This is a reflection of some temporary arrangements circumventing that fact that
south australia's main feeding machine was down for an extended period over the
vacation, and news just had to find a way out somehow. It still seems to get out
faster via the alternative path.

Surprisingly, the group now seems to be available many places in the world, but
the newgroup command does not seem to have been accepted by or have reached many
Australian machines, much to my chagrin. Hopefully your site is the first of many !
I guess I need to learn to be patient.

I don't think this is limited to newgroup...   We (and presumably everyone
else that is fed from metro) are seeing most of the aus postings arrive
with paths like:

Has something broken between munnari and metro, or is this one of the

Simulation Room -Mosaic of Mobile Sound Data
Hamburg, 5.2 - 20.2.93
We will be showing a VR installation in February at
the MEDIALE93 - Festival for Media Arts and Media Future - in
Hamburg, Germany. The installation, housed in the freight ship Cap
San Diego in Hamburg - harbour, has three main areas.
Section one is a sophisticated, walk - in data - base  utilising a
collection of sound samples from around the world, which will be
used to produce a virtual 'sound room'.  The sound data will
correspond to the second section,  a physical room, where visitors
will be able to navigate through the space with the aid of a mobile
ultrasonic sensor and an artificial eye display and activate the data 
to a realtime-concert.
The action of the visitors, within  this 'virtual organism,' will be
displayedon a video screen shown in a control room area (the third
area).
We welcome your participation for the international sound - data -
base: To participate in this international project we need from you a
6 second long sound sample, a cultural statement, reflecting
your personal attitude towards the "world". Please send this via
email or ftp. (aiff, wave, next formats)
All participants and institutions will be credited in a publicly
displayed database during the exhibition.

A lot of people have asked to have catalogs of mail order CDROm stuff posted,
so I will repost a few things I have gathered from the net and by mail over the
last few months.

The following posts are not necessarily uptodate but most have contact numbers
or addresses so you can find out for yourself.

BTW. Sterling Software, the Usenet CDROM people are planning on folding soon :(
There are talks in progress with some one else so hopefully the operation may
continue under another name.
