This is a great idea. I have been hoping someone would do this for all
of us who love NTZ/The Status Line. I would love to see it with all the
graphics and everything. I think it would not do it justice otherwise,
the comics are the best thing about it. BTW, do you happen to have the
envelopes also? it would be great to include all the cartoon from them also.

I have some good news and bad news. The good news is that I have the
missing issue. The bad news is that it is trashed, the front page is
almost destroyed and I cut out the contest entry form (think it was for
naming the ex-NZT...My entry was 'GUE Today'), but I can tell you what
was in it. There was no name at the time. It was called "* * * *" and
is labeled 'VOL V....No. 4' 'Intervernal Edition'. It had an article about
Trinity and one about Activision buying Infocom. Its an excellect issue I
hope someone has a copy in better shape.
