Eldon:

You need to look up www.juno.com and see if one of the 805 area code access
numbers is a local call for Ojai. Then it may be worthwhile to provide them
with info on free e-mail from Juno. Also you can have some diskettes with
Juno software that can be handed out for free to anyone interested. Juno is
encouraging distribution of software with no strings attached. If you like,
I can arrange to duplicate and send you diskettes for distribution. You may
want to consider about incorportating the above in your presentation at Ojai.
