I was reading the www page for ShadowTk and was reading about these "Matrix
Wars", with these AIs (RUFUS & MONICA). Does anyone know where I can read
these, that is if they are still available? I know you can read postings on
the www page but I really don't want to look through each file until I find
it. Anyone know? I know that was a long time ago on the list....Thanks in
advance.

Mike Loll.

The log9302.txt it starts (and ends the monica stuff)

its also the buggest bloody log
Plot by Rob and Vinnie - Rob started it but Vinnie did a lot
crucial things. It still is one of the best decker stories.

I have a file with all posts relating to the RUFUS/MONICA incident,
from the first noticing of RUFUS to the memorial at the end (Hey, I
had just joined the list and I had a lot of spare time). I also have
the posts from the Talky incident, when Talky was given a virus by
Dante that made him go Psycho and kidnap Lister to force-feed him
toast, and a couple Magna-Tech plots. I just loaded them onto the
server here. If you want to get them they are at:

http://www.neuro.uoregon.edu/~prier/text/[file]

where [file] is one of:

MONICA.txt (a text-only file of the MONICA/RUFUS plot-read it in a
mono-spaced font - 315K)
MONICA-ed (the same but formatted on MSWord (Mac), 7pt font so
it fits on _only_ 37 pages - hey, I SAID I had a
lot of time, didn't I - 284K)
TOAST (the Talky plot - 63K)
MagnaTech (Pre-Rufus, I think - 63K)
MagnaTech2 (Post-RUFUS, I think - 32K)

The last three are also in MS Word (Mac) format. I haven't looked
through the two MagnaTech files, so I'm not sure how complete they
are.

Enjoy,
Kevin

Well, I just looked at the MONICA and Talky files through Netscape,
and saw that the formatting got fuqued, at least on the browser. I
fixed it by saving them as text only and adding the .txt postfix.
They're still at:
http://www.neuro.uoregon.edu/~prier/text/[file]
but now [file] is:
MONICA.txt (MONICA/RUFUS in text-only format - 315K)
TOAST.txt (the Talky story in text-only format - 63K)
MT.txt (MagnaTech - 63K), and
MT2.txt (second part of MagnaTech - 32K)

MONICA-ed is still there in MS Word format, if anyone can
figure out how to get it intact.

If anyone knows a better way to make these available, I'm open to
suggestions. I can also mail the files privately if you REALLY want
them.

Cheers,
Kevin
