Greetings CypherFolk, I, one of your newest members, am on vacation in Europe (right now I'm in Holland enjoying the "coffee" shops) and am temporarily restricted to using AppleLink as my gateway to Internet. Because it costs $0.50 to $0.80 per piece of email, I asked Eric to _temporarily_ remove me from the general alias until I return to the US in December, saving me major bucks. When I get back, I'll announce that you can send me mail at "ddt@well.sf.ca.us". I enjoyed the repartee I sampled and look forward to joining in as I learn more. Offer of the Week: If anyone needs me to physically pick up a PGP key from someone here in Europe, I have a train pass good for another month (maybe longer if I can alter it again) and will consider any request that will take me to interesting locations and connect me with interesting folks. Further Request: If any of you send any interesting stuff to the group alias (e.g. Russ Whitaker's article on "computer cryptography" from the Economist) and think it might be of general interest to someone learning about the whole encryption process (i.e. me), please cc me at "deltorto@applelink.apple.com" anytime. This would be appreciated. I also encourage anyone who has helpful learning material to forward it to me so I can get up to speed. I am working on an interesting project I would like to share with the right people, but I am not prepared to discuss it in public. Does anyone have a copy of PGP 2.0 that runs on a Macintosh? If you email it to me, I will cover any costs you incur. Coolness. Until we all meet in person, dave
