We're with You Except Maybe on the Spandex

From: Robert Ballot <nomead@earthlink.net>

Very funny stuff. But, you know what, in spite of all the gibes, 10cc,
Kansas, Yes and Styx were all actually quite good at what they did:
music. And I'd love to see Pat Benatar in spandex again sometime soon.

Subject: feedback - I'm tired

I really don't know what's it actually happening around here,
but please help me because I'm so tired already of thinking
& wondering.

Just asking.

Please make it simpler, I find it hard to unserstand.

Subject: Why no respond?

I think I begin to like your game.

Do you read me?

Subject: Chow dulu - understand?

See you tomorrow.

We Knew Someone Would Eventually Notice All That Content

From: Jeffrey Erlich <jeff@cs.mcgill.ca>

Dear EZone:

Thank you for putting content on the net. I've been looking for
something interesting to read on the net for 3 or 4 years now, and
Enterzone is the first thing interesting enough to keep me up 3 hours
past my bedtime. :)

I really liked 8 minutes. Although I haven't yet discovered the mobius
strip symbolism?? Maybe Martha is just an Escher fan?!?

Keep it up.

Think of the Movie Deals Lost in the Mail

Pretty amazing to be one of the rare web sites to make the New
Yorker, only to change your URL just prior to publication.

Good hello,

a thousand hasty congratulations on your well-deserved New Yorker

Gotta Remember That One (Broke My Elbow)

From: LBKasper@aol.com

Subject: questions

i came across the zone, and am VERY interested in learning more about it. I broke my elbow, so i can't write much now -

BUT, i'm interested in knowing more about the people who work and create for the zone - the authors if you will. are you/they a berkeley students? What programs/areas of study? how did they get involved? if you could gather up some responses...i'd REALLY appreciate it.

i'm an artist trapped in a world that i chose to join, but no longer
understand. i want to find out more about other worlds. do you think
someone can share some insight?

thanks.

OK, let's see: briefly. One of us, the webmaster, was around that time a graduate student in the Archaeology department. Another one of us, the managing editor, went to U.C. Berkeley at two different times in her life, but we were never affiliated with Berkeley, our original server there was semi-official, and we are now hosted by AALN and have our own domain name (ezone.org). Our contributors come from all over the U.S. and from abroad. Mostly they approached us originally, although the contributors to the first few episodes were mainly people I personally asked to contribute. Hope this helps.

I'd like to personally invite you to the birth of Nutscape, the
electro-organic design cytoplasm. It was unearthed by one Jeffrey
Blair Hull, mad-genius and art-guy.
