Thanks to arrangements that I have made with two non profit organizations, donations for the Atlantis Project are now tax deductible. So you now have a choice. You can give money to Bill Clinton and he can spend it on making the government larger and more powerful or you can give money to The Atlantis Project and help speed our journey towards creating a free country. Either way you are making a political statement. Send e-mail to oceania@terminus.intermind.net if you would like more details on how you can make tax deductible donations to The Atlantis Project. INTERGRAPH WEB AND OCEANIA WEB LINK TOGETHER Intergraph, the creator of ModelView, the program that was used to create the images and animations of Oceania online, has agreed to link their web to ours. They plan on linking their Visualization products page where ModelView is listed to our web and we will create a link on our end probably on a new page where we describe how Jim Albea was able to create these images. It never hurts to get a little publicity from a big company. I was impressed to recently learn that one of the Intergraph machines that Jim used to work on the images retails at $14K or so. (This was the dual 90 Mhz machine.) Jim is definitely using more powerful hardware than we have at the Atlantis Project headquarters! WHITE PAPERS Fred Foldvary, an economist at Virginia Tech (Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University), has agreed to write a white paper on the money system of Oceania. Many other topics are available for people who wish to write white papers. THE OCEANIA WEB IS DEAD, LONG LIVE THE OCEANIA WEB! The second Oceania web has been closed down mainly because it was felt by the owner of this web that our main web is filling the need and so he could now step down from running a web for us. This web owner, Sean Kane, has instead decided to help translate the Oceania Constitution and Laws into a hypertext format for our main web site. So at the moment we have Tramm Hudson the owner of our web, Robert Bickford, the main person transforming the web, and Sean Kane all working together to improve our web site. OCEANIA CONSTITUTION TRANSLATIONS We have had two complaints about the character set used in the Spanish translation of our constitution. This is being looked into. The author of this translation, Roberto Leibman, will be glad to make any changes that are necessary. We are looking for people to translate our constitution into other languages. If you feel you are capable of doing this, please send us e-mail. PASSPORT NEWSLETTER Before the end of the year, a free snail mail newsletter will be launched only to owners of Oceania passports. The current expected name is "Oceania Society News" with the slogan "For Oceania Passport Holders Only". Suggestions for names and slogans are being solicited. INTERMIND I have had one problem after another with my local Intermind account and am ready to consider an alternative to it. I have learned that the following companies offer direct access to Nevada: Evergreen, Great Basin, Netcom, NevadaNet, Sacramento Network, Sierra, and @wizard.com. I would be interested in hearing anyone's experiences with these Internet hosts. LIBEL SUIT Some idiot is commiting some serious libel about me (and three others) on CompuServe. Unfortunately, I do not have the resources to start a lawsuit, and I do not want to make an empty threat against him. If you would be interested in pledging money for such a suit, if it occurred, please send e-mail to Eric Klien at oceania@terminus.intermind.net. I should point out that I've never lost a lawsuit in my life and would definitely not lose this one. OCEANIA MALL I have had some people inquire about putting their products in our electronic mall. Expect this mall to start expanding soon!
