Hart" Subject: January Gutenberg Newsletter, Pt. 1 of 2 *This is the Project Gutenberg Newsletter for January 31, 1993* Our Goal, To Give Away One Trillion Etexts By December 31, 2001 *[10,000 titles to 100,000,000 people equals 1,000,000,000,000] Hot News!!! We now have a volunteer to mail disks! See below. Note to you interested in NETwork TRAINing and NETTRAIN at end. Index to all etexts from 1/1/91 to 1/1/93 included below. More of our etexts are available around the networks than we keep on line at our own location. We post only the most recent etexts. If each book goes to 100 million people by the end of 2001 then we should be at about 4.0 billion with release of the following not counting pre-1991 releases: which are still in the process of being dug out of our archives, new headers attached, and new placement in new directories on our new 600M fileserver. Thank you NeXT, for loaning us that machine!!! Thanks also to Apple, Calera, CTA (TextPert), and Caere. Save the instruction below, as some locations have changed!
