Just to let everyone know that I will be taking my web page(s) off the air for
48 hours after president Clinton signs into law the Telco Reform bill. I will
be supporting the EFF and would like others to do so too.
What will be affected:
o http://wvnvaxa.wvnet.edu/~hrieke/
This is my home page(s) and The Ultimate Sound Page
+ OS/2 - Programming - Midi - Japan Pinball - Liquid Nitrogen Ice Cream
o http://www.polsci.wvu.edu/Henry
http://www.polsci.wvu.edu/Henry/Files/
The other half (the drivers, programs and examples) of The Ultimate Sound
Page.
What will not be affected unless they wish to pull their pages:
o Madbrains' home page
http://www.polsci.wvu.edu/Henry/Madbrain/
o Sander's home page
http:/www.polsci.wvu.edu/Henry/Sander/
For more information about the protest:

Thanks for understanding.

signing of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. This is posted due to its
