Hi. I enjoy your shuttle updates and am curious as to who you are, where you are and how you get the info so fast. Perhaps others are too, so your responce maybe should go on the net. Anyway, i'd appreciate knowing the source of the info. Thanx, tom galloway @ yale-comix

__________________________ Ok, Tom, here we go. My name is Adam Buchsbaum (contrary to my login), and I live in Westfield, NJ. I am a teenager who is very much interested in the space program, re why I started net.columbia with the help of others. The reason I get the information so quickly is that we have an Associated Press Wire connection on one of the local machines and I take the articles of interest and summarize them.

Thank you for your interest in me and the net. It's not just to broadcast information on the shuttle -- I want it to be a center for info for the entire space programs (and others' programs). Also, some discussion of recent events would be a very nice thing to have. In all, though, I am totally pleased with the amount of response we've gotten from net.columbia!

Adam
