RESPONSE

Of this issue, the Electronic Frontier Foundation stated in the article '' Scientific American's September Issue to be Sent to All EFF Members'' in its September 1991 newsletter:

:This month's '' Scientific American '' ("Communications, Computers, and Networks") must surely represent the most complete collection of articles and commentary on all aspects of networking to date. As such we feel strongly that it should be made available to as many people as possible. Because of this, we have purchased a large number of copies of this issue that we will be using for various purposes over the coming year. The first use will be to deliver a free copy of to all our members. We are expecting the magazines to be delivered to us at the end of next week and they will go out to our members soon after. We realize that many of our members may already have a copy of their own, but if so we trust that they will use this extra copy to educate and enlighten someone else to the issues and potential of networking. http://www.eff.org/effector/effect01.11
