Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: [Last updated on: Sat Aug 5 18:30:09 1995] TOURBUS is a *FREE* moderated list brought to you by the team of Patrick Douglas Crispen, creator of the popular ROADMAP series and "Doctor Bob" Rankin, columnist for Boardwatch Magazine and author of "Accessing The Internet By E-Mail". A ride on the TOURBUS promises to be a good time, with stops at dozens of "must see" Internet sites. If you're new to the 'Net you should consider the TOURBUS required riding. And even the old-timers will find this a valuable refresher course in what's hot, what's cool, and what's plain fun in cyberspace! TOURBUS is a text-based tour of some of the coolest sites on the Internet. Patrick and Bob serve as your tour guides, not only giving you the sites' addresses but also giving you an inside look at what actually makes each TOURBUS stop "cool". The TOURBUS will be stopping at lots of FTP, Gopher and WWW sites but your guides have made sure that everything along the way is reachable by e-mail as well. So grab your camera, hat and flowered shirt... the TOURBUS is already on the move! LIST ADMINISTRIVIA ------------------ To subscribe, send the following command in the BODY of your e-mail to majordomo@colossus.net : SUBSCRIBE TOURBUS To UNsubscribe, send the following command in the BODY of your e-mail to majordomo@colossus.net : UNSUBSCRIBE TOURBUS your-email-address To get back issues of the TOURBUS postings, visit the web site at: http://csbh.mhv.net/~bobrankin/tourbus LOST, CONFUSED? --------------- If you are having any sort of problems understanding what Bob and I are talking about in our TOURBUS posts (e.g. if you don't know what "Gopher" or the "Web" is), or if you want to learn how to access all of the TOURBUS sites using nothing but e-mail, send an e-mail letter to LISTSERV@UA1VM.UA.EDU (that's "YOU-AYE-WON-VEE-EM") with the command GET NEWUSER PACKAGE F=MAIL in the body of your e-mail letter. This will tell the LISTSERV to send you two letters -- one which will tell you how you can participate in the 27-lesson Roadmap Internet training workshop, and one which will tell you how you can retrieve the "Accessing the Internet by E-mail" tutorial. WANT TO FORWARD THE TOURBUS POSTS TO SOME OTHER PEOPLE? ---------------------------------------------------------- No problem. You can re-mail the TOURBUS postings or make them available on a Gopher, FTP or WWW site if you wish. We do have one small request, though ... please make sure that you tell Bob (BOBRANKIN@MHV.NET) about how many people are getting the TOURBUS postings as a result of your re-distribution. The advertisers need us to keep an accurate account of how many "riders" are on the 'Bus! Owners: Patrick Crispen Bob Rankin
