In February 1994, I began a free electronic newsletter, Internet-on-a-Disk, which I distributed by email. Later, I dropped the email distribution, which had become a logistical nightmare. (Not being paid for this activity, I simply couldn't afford to devote a day or two a month to list maintenance. I did, however, continue to produce new issues and made everything available through our Web site at www.samizdat.com Up until now (October 2002), I have produced 52 issues. We now plan to produce a new issue each month on the 15th and to post it here so people who wish can receive it, once again, by email. Each issue includes articles related to business on the Internet, as well as brief notes and pointers to interesting new Web sites and related technolgy, as well as sources of public domain books. You can view back issues at www.samizdat.com/ioad.html You will also see a link to the issue currently in progress from our home page www.samizdat.com">www.samizdat.com I have set up this Yahoo Group, so readers can use it as a way to discuss with one another and with me topics raised in the newsletter, to share related insights, and to point one another to additional Internet-based resources. I will intervene to delete postings that are grossly off topic or that feel like spam, and will block those who submit such messages from future posting. But aside from that, this discussion should be a free-for-all. Enjoy.
