Hi,

At UKNOF17, there was mention of Benedicte Force-Titley's documentation of 
UK Internet history, an ongoing theme at UKNOF.  It reminded me to mention 
that I have back issues of the major UK Internet magazines going back to 
the start.  In recent years, it is ".net" only, but I have most issues of 
the deceased "Internet & Comms Today", plus various other ones that 
started up circa 1995 and didn't get beyond a few issues.  They're taking 
up about 9 feet of shelving in my garage that I could do with reclaiming, 
so I am open to suggestions on what to do with them all.  Benedicte's 
welcome to have first pick if she thinks they are of use, otherwise ...

Speaking of clearing out; several staff are retiring from IT Services at 
Strathclyde this month so there's a lot of clearing out going on here; my 
interest in "historically interesting material" is known.  So as I arrive 
back at my office this morning, I find in my pigeon hole a copy of the 
papers for the the UKUUG IP Workshop, held at the Zoological Society, 
11-13th October 1994.  Of particular interest to this group might be the 
Acknowledgements and an article on gated by Jim Reid (back in his 
Strathclyde CS guise), and contributions from Keith Mitchell (using ISDN 
to access the Internet), and Nigel Titley on the BT Internet service 
architecture.

And thanks to everyone who contributed to UKNOF17 yesterday; first time 
I've managed to be able to attend one, hopefully not the last.

Jethro.
