Thomas 'Fnord' Moll, Jim Korte and Zeb Hodge

Thomas Moll (fnord@odyssee.net): Visit me please! http://www.odyssee.net/~fnord to the Fnord point!

Your page manages to live on, with the help of the Internet Archive.

Jim Korte (jhklu@boco.co.gov): Saw Erics Printer on Yahoos Interesting Devices Connected to the Net.  You must get a lot of people sending you stuff.  Have a good weekend, Eric. Salutations from Colorado, Jim Korte

Real World Miami, Randy Rambo, Mark Miller and Jeff Keyzer

Hello Dude! Whats happening? Make sure you watch MTVs Real World part V!

That would be, I think, Real World Miami.

Randy Rambo (hui@ilhawaii.net): Aloha from Paradise Eric, I like the Yikes! page and your link, cool! What do you pay to keep this page running?  Keep in close touch brudda. Mahalo, RR :-d

Glad you like it. I don't pay anything to keep it running.

Mark Miller (mamiller1@ualr.edu): Uh... hello...And...uhh...how much do the print contrages cost??? Hello? My email is mamiller1@ualr.edu

Do you mean print cartridges? They ribbons for an ImageWriter printer are cheap. And, if you don't really care the quality of the printout, they can last a long time.

And finally, positive feedback from Jeff Keyzer:

Jeff Keyzer (jkeyzer@calweb.com): Wow, this is pretty neat!

You called? I think you actually used the Internet, not a telephone, to say that.

John Ritchie (lint@hooked.net): I hope you arent mad that Im doing this, Im bored, and my friend told me about your page; I decided to explore.

You wasted all my paper! I'm really pissed off!
