Digital Archaeology: Codex (Floppy Disk) #8 (part 6)

Continuing with this series of posting the contents of various 5.25" floppy disks I found at a thrift store a number of years ago... At least some of them were apparently once owned by someone named Connie A. Buys who used to run the “Close Encounters” Special Interest Group (SIG) on Delphi in the mid 1980s.

I've been splitting up the contents of this disk (descriptively labeled “File Disk”) since it contains a number of documents, some of which are pretty long. A 5.25" floppy disk can still hold an impressive amount of info when it is just text. (see the previous parts here: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5).

The document included in this post is a letter written by Connie A. Buys to Forum Magazine with a request to reprint one of their articles on Delphi.

The JULY 1984 issue of FORUM Magazine carried an article titled "The
X-Rated Computer" by Jack Martin.

I manage an electronic special interest group on a computer system
known as Delphi. This SIG, known as "Close Encounters", is a forum
for the discussion of relationships that develop via computer services
like the Source, CompuServe, and Delphi. Our primary emphasis is on
the sexual aspects of those relationships.

I would like to have your permission to reprint the article named
above for the benefit of our membership.

If you need any further information in order to grant permission to
reprint this article, please let me know.

                                    Very truly yours,



                                    Connie A. Buys, SIG Manager
