And it (Chips N Bits) now has its own Wikipedia entry at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chips_'n_Bits_Magazine
Which I will add to - time permitting. Chips and Bits did some
interesting articles on the Early BBS days (iiNet Adam) and a few
others.

And if any Linkers have any copies of Chips N Bits issue 1 through issue
5 - I would dearly like to hear from you.
I lost my paper copies in the various moves.

One day I will put up Wikipedias for Internet Australasia and one or two
other little ventures I started. Some of it is even interesting.

Tom
