The SURFPUNK Technical Journal is a dangerous multinational hacker zine 
originating near BARRNET in the fashionable western arm of the northern 
California matrix.  Quantum Californians appear in one of two states, 
spin surf or spin punk.  Undetected, we are both, or might be neither.

			By the way, I have been informed that the 
			Northeast Reigonal Data Center (that's us) will 
			be going down from 06.00 to 08.00 tomorrow so 
			the SuraNet d00dz can test a new T1 link.
