 This writer has been around for quite some time and has seen many
 interesting things happen.  But in all the years, I've never been witness
 to such activities as those occurring in the last six days.  What is
 happening is apalling.  This spot is usually my area for "having my say".
 This week, I must defer to Scott Stuart of The PC Depot.  Elsewhere in
 this issue is his latest interview and Press Release.  Please, take a
 moment to read what he has to say ...carefully.  It has a great deal to
 say.

 Current Discussions From Ozark Net

 compiled by C. Brown



      Well folks, its that time  again... the almighty schedule calls and I
 answer.  Gee, wouldn't it be nice if  the Mars Observer answered when NASA
 called it?  This has  been a big disappointment for me.   I had hoped that
 the space craft  would begin us on an  important, and if I  may say so,  a
 long  overdue, return to space...  the spirit of discovery, the nation all
 pulling as one, everyone sitting there in front of  the television in mute
 amazement at the view of open space or of a planet or  moon that had never
 seen up close before.  These are the kinds of things that made us leaders.
 Leaders in exploration and leaders in technology.   I just hope that  this
 one mishap, the first loss of a planetary probe in 27 years, doesn't put
 even more  constraints on  our space program (and  other science  programs
 like the Superconducting Super Collider).
      
 Well, at  any rate,  its time  for us  to tune  in to the conversation
 available to us in Ozark Net.  Let's get busy...

  Don't sweat it.  He shows up every couple of months, insults people

                        WORDPERFECT 5.2 FOR WINDOWS 
                                SELECTED FOR
                        DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE PACKAGE


  
      WordPerfect 5.2  for Windows  Selected for Ease of  Use and  Powerful
 Features.   WordPerfect 5.2 for Windows  is now part of  a complete office
 automation package offered to the Department of Defense through the  Small
 Multiuser  Computer contract.  EDS, awarded  the SMC  contract in  1990 to
 provide products  and  services to  the Department  of  Defense,  recently
 announced that WordPerfect 5.2 for Windows is included in the SMC software
 package  along with  Harvard Graphics,  Superbase,  Lotus 1-2-3  and Lotus
 Organizer.

 "SMC is providing  this new product package to ensure that  the Department
 of Defense community  has access to the most advanced  computer software,"
 said Kim  Luke, SMC program  manager for  EDS. "We want  to offer products
 that facilitate the department's move to Windows-based applications."

 According  to  Luke, WordPerfect  5.2  for Windows  was added  to  the SMC
 product lineup because it  is one of the best-selling word processors  and
 comes with both  Grammatik 5, the best-selling grammar checker,  and Adobe
 Type Manager.  Grammatik 5 works  intuitively to  proofread documents  for
 grammar,  style, and  punctuation  while ATM  improves the  on-screen  and
 printed appearance of fonts.

 "After  comparing the  leading word  processing software  applications, we
 selected  WordPerfect 5.2 for Windows because  it offers user-friendly and
 powerful  features,"  said Luke.  "We  think WordPerfect  5.2 for  Windows
 offers members of the Department of Defense community  the tools they need
 to increase their efficiency."

 EDS has  operations in  more than 30  countries, employs  more than 70,000
 people, and is  a leader  in applying information  technology to  meet the
 needs of businesses and governments around the world. The company's  stock
 is traded on the New  York Stock Exchange under the symbol GME.   Revenues
 for 1992 were $8.2 billion.

   """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""



                    EXCLUSIVE NET 286 GAZETTE INTERVIEW
                                    WITH
                        SCOTT STUART OF THE PC DEPOT


 Q: Net 286 Gazette 
      Is it true that Joplin is currently without a mail hub?

 A: Scott Stuart 
      Yes


 Q: Net 286 Gazette 
      Do you know what happened?

 A: Scott Stuart 
      Our mail feed was dropped by Jason Buchanan for no apparent
      reason and with no advance notice..


 Q: Net 286 Gazette 
      What do you mean by dropped?

 A: Scott Stuart 
      I mean that Jason abruptly shut off all mail to several systems
      without bothering to give any advance notice.   It appears that
      not all systems were cut off though.


 Q: Net 286 Gazette 
      Could you elaborate on that?  Which systems were and were not
      affected and why?

 A: Scott Stuart 
      Jason obviously holds many deep grudges.  I know that he stopped
      feeding mail to the Depot, Lanstar, Yellow Crecent Inn, and Second
      City.  However, according to reports from many of my users, mail
      is still coming into Jason's system and a couple of others.  I
      have confirmed that The Crawley Crypt, Cedar Ridge, Windows Station,
      as well as the mail only nodes (Chris Richards and George Willard)
      are still receiving long distance echomail.  Apparently those Sysops
      who are his personal friends don't get shafted like the rest of us
      who happen to be on his, excuse the expression, sh** list.


 Q: Net 286 Gazette 
      When did the remaining mail stop flowing?

 A: Scott Stuart 
      While I was out of town - naturally.  I think it was late Wednesday
      night.


 Q: Net 286 Gazette 
      Did you receive any notice that this action would be taken?

 A: Scott Stuart 
      I never received any notice that this was going to happen nor have
      I yet received any explanation from Jason as to why.  It's not 
      really to hard to figure out.  I believe it is just another one of
      Jason's efforts to lash out at myself and my friends.


 Q: Net 286 Gazette 
      Do you know what statements that you are supposed to have made
      triggered the closing of your access?

 A: Scott Stuart 
      NO, we asked but received only a vague response.


 Q: Net 286 Gazette 
      I have heard that there are other more serious actions being
      carried out by certain individuals.  Even to the point of being
      highly illegal.  Have you received threats or anything of that
      nature?

 A: Scott Stuart 
      No comment.


 Q: Net 286 Gazette 
      If Jason remains the Net 286 mail hub what would the economic impact
      be for Net 286 Sysops in regard to mail prices?

 A: Scott Stuart 
      I think Jason will continue to gouge those of us who he hates
      and give free mail to his buddies.  So the cost for some of us
      will be extremely high.  Much higher than the actual cost Jason
      incurs in picking it up.


 Q: Net 286 Gazette 
      What do you see as the solution to the net's problems?

 A: Scott Stuart 
      There will be no peace in Net 286 while Jason is in the nodelist.


 Q: Net 286 Gazette 
      A final question? are you or have you reported this situation to the
      FCC?  (Federal Communications Commission)

 A: Scott Stuart 
      No comment.

 > NET 286 CONFIDENTIAL    "Rumors Tidbits Predictions Observations Tips"
   """"""""""""""""""""

 - Joplin, MO     THREATS AND VIOLENCE - BUSINESS AS USUAL FOR NET 286
   ----------

      According to our SuperSnoop, the behind the scenes activities of
 a few individuals have crossed the line from "excessively annoying"
 to blatantly illegal.  The Sysops/Users in question allegedly
 vandalized the home of a former Net 286 NEC and made verbal threats
 of violence to another Net 286 Sysop.  These alleged actions are said
 to revolve around the current NEC/hub situation.  Apparently the 
 "head games" previously used by these people were not producing
 the desired results.



 - Joplin, MO     LOCAL DEALER BESIEGED BY DEPOSITIONS & POSSIBLE LAWSUITS
   ----------

      Reports are filtering in about a local dealer.  The dealer in 
 question is having more to do with lawyers than he probably cares to. 
 Seems there is a group in the NW USA in hot pursuit of this dealer to
 the tune of $25,500 plus interest.  The group claims the dealer received
 the funds for a specific custom programming job/computer system
 installation to be done under contract.  The group claims nothing was
 ever done in relation to the contracted project the money was paid for.
 Further it was rumored, the money had been spent on unrelated projects.

      Further in another, totally different and separate action, it appears
 a group of consumers have banded together in hopes of bringing suit to
 recover funds deposited with this very same dealer for product the users
 claim they've waited over a year for.  Allegedly, there are well over
 twelve consumer who have come forward and claimed they are involved at
 approximately nine hundred dollars each.  Reportedly, this action is
 reaching all the way into Canada, thus becoming international in its
 scope.



 - Carterville, MO                NC286/RC14 - IS SILENCE REALLY GOLDEN?
   ---------------

      Net 286 Gazette has observed that Tim Pearson, NC286/RC14 has
 taken no action in the recent hub struggle.  We have not been able to
 reach Mr. Pearson for comment.  His silence in the matter and lack of
 disciplinary action does not bode well for the net.  We here at Net
 286 Gazette implore Mr. Pearson to perform a much needed "house
 cleaning" and rid the net of the problem sysops.  When a group of
 individuals resort to illegal actions to resolve a fido related
 matter it is time for the RC to assert his authority.



 - Joplin, MO                         PETERSEN DROPS OUT OF NEC ELECTION
   ----------

      Our SuperSnoop has been working overtime.  From the information
 provided, it appears Robert Peteresen has dropped out of the election
 for the position of NEC286.  Yet another twist in the sad tale of the
 ongoing soap opera known as Net 286.  Why Peteresen dropped out of
 the election is not immediately known, but he certainly can't be
 blamed for pulling out in light of recent events.
