- CUCUG Announces its Fourth WWW Mirror Site
-
- August 18, 1996 - The Champaign-Urbana Commodore Users Group (CUCUG)
- announced today that Inter-Spider, an Internet Service Provider located
- in Cracow, Poland, would be hosting its popular World Wide Web site. A
- process known as "mirroring" makes a nearly identical copy of a Web site
- available to users closer to their own connection on the Internet. This
- usually results in more reliable connects and faster response.
-
- CUCUG's webmaster, Kevin Hisel stated, "Users in Eastern Europe have been
- asking us to set up a mirror there for quite some time. We are grateful
- to Inter-Spider for finally making it possible."
-
- Zbigniew Baniewski, proprietor of Inter-Spider added, "There is a need to
- establish an easy-to-connect site with news from Commodore world for many
- polish Amiga users." He went on to say that, "there was also a
- sentimental reason--my first computer was a Commodore VIC-20!"
-
- According to Hisel, this is CUCUG's fourth mirror. Other mirrors are
- currently located in Australia, Italy and the United Kingdom. The
- primary CUCUG site is maintained at Champaign, Illinois in the United
- States.
-
- CUCUG maintains the award-winning Amiga Web Directory and Agnes, an
- advanced Amiga WWW search utility. Both have become very popular with
- Amiga users throughout the world.
-
- The address for the new CUCUG mirror site in Cracow is:
- http://www.ispid.com.pl/mirrors/cucug/

- CUCUG's main site can be found at:
