- The Bootlegger/Hacker Magazine
- 1080 Hays Cut-off Road
- Cave Junction, OR 97523
- This puppy was distributed on disk and was a fantastic periodical,
- electronic or otherwise in it's time. Unfortunately the last copies I saw
- were from about 1985-86, but if you want to try subscriptions WERE about
- $25 per year.
