- HI! & WELCOME TO THE 21ST CENTURY
- - and many years beyond
- ---------------------------------
- This is the new UNI*STAR BASE CENTRAL: sysop@hitech.newark.nj.us
- reporting to you with great glad tidings for our wondrous STARSHIP
- EARTH and all its denizens. The first beneficiaries of this news will
- be all SysOps interested in participating as a local UNI*STAR BASE in a
- new system from the HiTECH Group. The UNI*STAR BASE program is designed
- to provide BBS operators and their users with:
- A. A NEW AND SIMPLE WAY TO CHARGE AND COLLECT for BBS services,
- software, information, images or just membership and usage;
- B. Participation in a completely NEW NATIONWIDE FINANCIAL SYSTEM; one
- designed TO BENEFIT EVERYONE who uses it;
- C. A variety of new ways to GENERATE SUBSTANTIAL NEW INCOME from their
- BBS operation with a whole array of EXCITING NEW BBS USER
- SERVICES;
- D. A way to SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE PHONE COSTS, enough to
- make direct accessing of boards across the country, a more
- practical and affordable reality;
- E. A very INEXPENSIVE SOURCE for many consumer and business items,
- including computer and communications equipment;
- F. A low-cost, electronic, UNIVERSAL MAIL SYSTEM, that allows its
- users to reach anyone in the U.S. and across the world directly,
- even if they have no fax or computer.
- These are all part of the HiTECH Group's ENVIRONMENTALLY POSITIVE
- Communications *UNiVERSE*, which has been under development since 1983.
- Various elements and services comprising this HiTECH *UNiVERSE* will
- be introduced one or two at a time, from now through most of 1993.
- The HiTECH Group is an organization of individuals and companies that is
- both a developer and extensive user of new technology. Along with its
- affiliates, Universal Capital Group and Universal TeleSystems, HiTECH
- has created, by the use of Bulletin Boards and a new On-line Financial
- Service, a simplified integrated system that will reduce the cost and
- increase the benefits of current technology for a much broader segment
- of the U.S. population than those currently using computers. If you are
- presently a SysOp (actively running a BBS) or are seriously interested
- in setting up your own Board, you are invited to become active in this
- new HiTECH communications *UNiVERSE* as a UNI*STAR BASE Operator. The
- HiTECH *UNiVERSE* divides the continental U.S. into roughly 125
- geographic areas, with up to 500 UNI*STAR BASES in each, though not
- every one will carry every HiTECH/UNI*STAR service. Your functions,
- duties, responsibilities and income possibilities as a UNI*STAR BASE
- Operator will vary according to your current users, others you want to
- reach, as well as the HiTECH and UNI*STAR options you choose. Some
- entail modest fees, some are free, with most covered by a formal
- contract. You must be at least 16 years of age and be able to provide
- local community references. If you are not currently operating a BBS
- but are considering doing so, HiTECH has a low-cost program to assist
- you. Please mail requests for more information including your name and
- voice or data phone number to - briefing@hitech.newark.nj.us.
