40Hex Number 6 Volume 2 Issue 2                                       File 005 

 
                I'm back, well kind of.  Anyways, a lot of people have been 
asking, "What's going on with the group?" The question should be, "What's going 
on with any group these days?" It seems to me that 1992 was the death of h/p, 
or at least the "ice age" of it.  Everybody was either getting busted or 
quitting the scene.  Oh well, what can I say about it.  Our group has been 
having bad luck too.  Five (now six) busted as well as other assorted bad 
things happening to members. 

                Anyways, what's going on with us, huh?.  Well the reason you 
haven't heard much from us is because we haven't been releasing our new stuff 
to BBS systems ( BBS system sounds as redundant as PIN number, I know) because 
we have a strong feeling that members of such groups as the CVIA are logging on 
to h/p boards in the hope of snatching the latest viruses.  Well not much you 
can do about it if you run a BBS, unless you personnally know everyone who calls 
your board. But come to think of it - what good does it prove to release your 
newest creation to the general public (of the h/p crowd) via BBS system?  Isn't 
that the same principle as the warez puppy scene?  I guess you all can do 
whatever turns you on but we kind of decided that it would be in our best 
interests to release our stuff to BBS's only after they have been detected by 
the popular scanners or until they are kind of old.  Not to fear, 40-HEX and 
"Dark Angel Phunky Writing Guide" will still be on boards at the same rate as 
always. 

                As for all of you people bitching that no longer have sites 
and that we are dead, well your dead - wrong.  The current sites are as follows 
(in no specific order) - Digital Warfare (yes it's back, at a new number 
however), Time Lords BBS (The U.S.S.R System), The Phunline (yes it's back), 
and the newest addition - Crow Technology.  And as for us being dead yeah 
right. 

** Note from DecimatoR: 
The U.S.S.R System recently went down, due to Time Lord getting into a little 
hot water.  It WILL return however... we're just not sure when. ** 

** Note from GHeap: 
I am coming back, gimme mo' time! 

                So now with that out of the way, on the other news.  Hmmm..... 
Michelangelo caused quite a scare there for a while.  It was pretty cool 
to see John, Patti, and the rest of the crew on T.V... John Dvorak has a new 
half hour computer talk show on syndicated radio.  I'm sure he wouldn't mind if 
we got on the show some time soon.  Check your local radio guide for your local 
station and time... I am offering a standing bounty of $1,500 for the person 
willing to fly to Ohio and kick Crow Meisters ass for good.  A minor would be 
preferred, being that he is under 18 and if I smashed him I could get sued or 
something.  Just kidding, Crow Meister is cool with me, hihihihi... A new 
federal law is being considered which if passed will outlaw the authorship of 
computer viruses totally, research or not.  Read more about that later in this 
issue... Hey, I might have a BBS up soon!  I have been saying that for the past 
2 years haven't I?  Well that's the news as I see it, it's nice to be writing 
for this rag again.  

        Check ya in 25 to life.... 

                                                        Hellraiser P/S 
                                                        1992 

This article was typed by Time Lord for HR cuz he is WAY too lazy to send me 
a disk in place of a fuckin print out...
