TWO issues of VEXNEWS on the very same day? Yeah, seems like it! Let's chock everyone and do something unexpected I thought, as always, and there was more things to tell as the day passed by which was not included in the previous issue. I hope everyone is looking forward to find these qute little newsletters dropping down in the mailbox, so here's another one! We're not a weekly, biweekly or monthly publication in any way, we do exactly as we want, as we always have done, and you never know when to expect a new issue.... ;-) [3] Old Issues of VEXNEWS --------------------------------------------------------------------------- For new subscribers to the list we can now present an easy way to get hold of the previous issues of the newsletter.

[4] Notes about the WWW site --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The WWW site announced in VEXNEWS #4 is _not_ accessable from CAB due to it's limits and that it doesn't support the password protection. There was no way around this unfortunately, and therefore CAB users must use the FTP site instead until CAB get's updated. There are a also number of sites that will permit public Lynx access via telnet and a guest account, for those who _really_ want to use WWW. sailor.lib.md.us (login as 'guest') ver. 2.7.1 public.sunsite.unc.edu (login as 'lynx') ver. 2.5 cwispub.unh.edu (login as 'cwispub') ver. 2.7 trfn.clpgh.org (login as 'trfn') ver. 2.6 lynx.cc.ukans.edu (login as 'lynx') ver. 2.5 philadelphia.libertynet.org (login as 'liberty' no password) [5] Vectronix is the Number #1 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Vectronix would like to thank everyone who voted for us in the Undercover Magazines voting chart. We are honoured by the first place and it encourages us to continue supporting the atari scene. Thanx to everyone, keep up the good work! We'll see if there will be any more cracking charts in coming UCM issues though as some people seems to think it does not belong in a scene magazine. We think it's a weird point of view as without the underground scene there would be no atari scene to speak about at all! Maybe a cracking chart is not needed because there is not many active groups left today, but that's a completely different story.... We are still honoured though, no matter what, and it feels great that you guys are still trusting in us. Thank you all!
