  * NetCon(tm) plans for 1988!

  NetCon(tm)  is a"con"' or a mini-convention that is planned and coordinated
  by computer users, like yourself, whose main link is the BITNET.   NetCon88
  offers you a chance  to meet the "face at the other  end," meaning that you
  can finally meet the people to whom  you have spoken on Relay,  CSNEWS,  or
  directly.   NetCon88 allows  you to meet many  of these people at  the same
  time,   in  the same  location  (convenient,   eh?).    You also  have  the
  opportunity to visit a new city and take in the sights.  NetCon88 will also
  feature speakers  whose topics  range from the  birth of  the Relay  to the
  future of the networks (BITNET, NetNorth, EARN,the InterNet, etc.).

  Time and Place:  NetCon88 will take place May 27-30, in Tempe, Arizona.

  * Relay news:

  Users of CSRLY@VTVM2, please be advised that the server has been renamed to
  the network-standard RELAY@VTVM2.


  * SERVER@TAMCBA is no more:

  A message from Rick Troth:  "SERVER at TAMCBA received almost nil usage for
  a number of months.   That,  coupled with a shortage of disk space,   (what
  else is new?) prompted us to take it down."

  Archives for PSYCHNET magazine which were  stored on SERVER are also stored
  on LISTSERV@TCSVM.
