Subject: Polish Connection

This is an attempt to speed up the efforts being done to establish
communication possibilities with Poland.

A friend and colleague of mine - Jan Nowak, a Polish humanist
temporarily employed at the University of Aarhus - is prepared to spend
this summer promoting e-mail facilities in Poland. We have been
thinking of possible ways to put a mild pressure on the relevant
authorities.

Here is where you HUMANISTs come in. We should like to ask those of you
who have friends and colleagues in Poland to send those people's names
to us. Just write their (title) name & institution - and we shall make
a complete list of all mentioned persons. Rich Mitchell refers (in
HUMANIST, May 4) to Anna Wyka and Andrzej Scinski of the Polish Academy
of Sciences, Institute of Philosophy and Sociology. This is just the
beginning.

In this way we hope to be able to put together a list of several
hundreds of Polish intellectuals with whom colleagues from abroad want
to have e-mail contact. A long list of Polish university people who
need e-mail contact with people from Western Europe and the American
continent might - at least we hope so - accellerate the whole process.

I'd like to add my query to that of David Gedalecia; does anyone know of
a node address at National Tsing Hua University in Hsingchu, Taiwan?

I don't know the answer to your query, but someone who might know is
David Pollard (David Pollard Associates), Folly Bridge Workshops,
Abingdon Road, Oxford (0865-240048), whom I have found very helpful
concerning font problems.

Subject: The text of "Don Quijote"

Are you hispanist?

I am interested in finding a machine-readable version of Cervantes' Don
Quijote, Part 1 (preferably via E-Mail). Do you have it? Please,
contact me!

Subject: names of computers

Does anyone know of a study or collection of names of computers? Here I
mean network names (e.g. the Vax at St. Olaf College called "THOR.")
rather than brand names. If no such study exists, how would you propose
collecting and analyzing the names? Ideas? What is the cleverest name
you know of? How did the computers get their names? At St. Olaf, there
was a sort of a contest, but I don't remember the details.
