- What about electronic zines. I get Digital Underground Digest and Phrack.
- But what else is out there?
- Don't let Mondo get to ya, I don't like it but what we have to do is do
- things and talk to people, including about what we don't like about Mondo.
- One problem I see with Mondo is that they put all their effort on the cyber
- with no punk, also no technical section. I have often, including to them,
- refered to Mondo as techno-hippie.
- As to what to do: Find out what people in your area are doing & join in,
- promote good zines to local stores, especially since f5 has published _The
- World of Zines_ which is a great source of info. Contact good zines, many
- have email addressed printed, and find out who distributes them & pass the
- info, in the form of the distributors catalog to your local mag source.
- I've promoted 2600 here in Berkeley & SF and it is selling well, Cody's is
- going through over 100 copies per issue. Present an alternative to Mondo and
- those who are not out for a fashion statment will go for it.
- Mondo does have great interviews however.
- Enuf ranting <fo now>
