Greetings to everyone in Cyberspace. This article will feature various miscellaneous news items and comments that would not fit anywhere else in the magazine, and also last minute additions. DNA Magazine has gone through many changes in the past month or so. This is partly because of the tremendous response we got to the last issues, and partly because we felt like it, and refuse to offer further justification.
First, note that DNA stands for DIGITAL NEWS ASSOCIATES, and not "Death 'n' Anarchy" as seen in some articles. We would like to emphasize this. Further, we would like it to be known that no more articles concerning the manufacture of explosives will be published or accepted as submissions. We feel that the magazine was being banned from too many public networks, and was thus being kept from many people who would otherwise enjoy reading it. Articles dealing with anything else, such as hacking, telephone phraud, illecit behavior, and in general suppressed knowledge will still be put out in force.
Also, starting with this issue, DNA magazine will be available via subscription. Subscribers will receive a laser-quality printed copy of DNA each month, possibly with some extras thrown in. Also, copies on disk (specify size will be sold at additional cost. To order, print out the form included with this issue and send with cash or money order. (No personal cheques please!)
Now that "Business" is over with, there are a few more thing I have collected that you will find amusing.
This month's "Sleasy Credit Bureau/Collections Letter" is from RMCB of New York. It was found on a street corner in Los Angeles by an alert staffer. It reads:
_______________
Retrieval Masters
Creditor's Bureau, Inc.
1261 Broadway,
New York, NY 10001
(212) 679-5826
Dear Ms. <Name Deleted>:
Previous experience shows that you are a person who pays bills promptly.
That's why it is hard to understand your $11.72 debt to Hosiery Corporation of America.
Repeated requests to pay have receives no answer or explanation from you.
Your account has therefore been turned over to us, a professional collection agency.
Don't let this go any further. Tear off and return the bottom of this letter with payment today.
It is essential that we receive this by 10/10/93. Otherwise, we will continue with the next step in the collection process.
_________
(The bottom of the letter was torn off. Scary...)
In other news, MTV has started publishing an electronic 'Zine. (Couldn't leave well enough alone, fuckers!) It is called the "Cyber Sleaze Report" and comes out daily. Send mail to adam@mtv.com . While you're at it, send some hatemail to Billy Idol (Not Cyberpunk) at: idol@well.sf.ca.us . No death threats please, or at least don't metion us. And if you haven't already, check out the DNA FTP site at ftp.netcom.com, /pub/pazuzu. The monthly update carries further information.
One other thing: We want your COCOT pictures! Send pictures of COCOT (i.e. commercial) type payphones, especially really horrid and/or exotic ones. (i.e. dollar bill slot, heavy vandalism, etc.)
COCOT = Terminate with extreme prejudice. That's all pholks, explore, stay out of trouble, and put society in its place: IN HELL.
