A Word From Nuts * The following is a word for word quote from Nuts: -------- A Word From Nuts. Hello my friends. As you know, there is a new group in Fairfield County which is dedicated to the free exchange of comercial software. We resent the name tagged on people such as ourselves: "Crackers", or "Pirates" We are far from it. We are merely serving the public interest. Think of it this way: You would probably not buy the software we provide you, so we are expanding it's use. Our philosophy is this: We buy the software we crack, because you -- the public -- deserve it. We also buy it because we want to relate with all of you. We are not going to be snotty people who rebuff any of your attempts to communicate with us. In fact we have created this newsletter in order to allow all of you to voice your opinions, and our answers. Later on in this newsletter you may find out how to send a public letter to Nuts or Molasses and have it published in this newsletter. So basically we are a group of individuals (two) who are freelancing with the public. Robbing the rich to pay the poor. We are rodents and we are Robin Hoods; and if you consider the price of software a crime, then we are vigilantes. So what lessons have we learned from these dynamic software companies who make software for $5 and sell it for $60? Well we have learned no lesson, but these companies will. The Gerbils are declaring war on these companies, and declaring a state of grace with you. We understand that your anticipation is enormous, and we are delegate sent forward from our own momentum; bringing you the fruit of our labour: a very fitful one at that. It is a predator's ball if you will; we will put to shame the software companies who claim their software insoluble to free public consumption; and pass the flaming torches on to the excellent people of Fairfield County. **** What the Gerbils ask of you, is only to spread the software. That is not too much to ask. When you download one of our productions, upload it to a place where it is not. We have taken hundreds of our own dollars, and invested it in software for the public. We have also taken weeks of our time to prepare the software. I can only see fit that you spend an hour or two uploading our fine craft. Thank you all for taking the time to read this. Nuts. -------- III. How to Help The Gerbils The Gerbils are an independant cracking group serving the Greater Fairfield County Area. Many people have left messages to us asking in what way they could help us and show their appreciation. All we ask is that you spread the word about The Gerbils so that others will be able to enjoy the cracks much as the people who currently use them. We don't want money, or gifts, or programs. Quite simple, No? IV. Virus Information It has come to our attention that in some compressed files, the GERBILS.COM file has been infected with a virus. Please note we did not put this in the file, yet it was passed by an unidentified source, and is not intentional and has only been sighted in certain games on different boards. To help us, please scan all of our cracks now and in the future for potential viruses. Our wish is to spread games, not viruses. If you find one that is infected, report it to the SysOp and have him/her replace the GERBILS.COM with that of another game, or have him/her remove it completely. V. Dear Gerbils The Dear Gerbils column will begin appearing in the next issue depending on the amount of letters received for screening. Letters may be addressed to either of The Gerbils and we'll accept any questions or reply to any letters or comments within reason. This is a great place to get one or both Gerbils' viewpoints on a given subject matter. VI. How to Join The Gerbils Uncountable times we have been asked how and if it is possible to join our group. Please, we have all the members we need/want at the present time. If it should ever arise that we should need another member, we will recruit one ourselves quietly and without commotion. We also don't care for the many people asking for us to teach them how to crack. We spend our time either cracking games or going on with our regular lives, and we don't have time to teach every Tom, Dick, and Harry how to crack. We learned ourselves, and expect any others to learn themselves too. VII. Upcoming Cracks Altered Destiny Countdown (by Access) Command HQ Flight of the Intruder VIII. Questions, Problems, Suggestions If you have any questions, problems, or suggestions for us, you should know where to contact us, but for reasons of security we cannot list all the boards we're on. You should basically know what we are or aren't on, or you could ask the SysOp of the board you obtained this file on how to contact us. Please leave all comments, etc., to us in E-Mail (Private Mail). IX. Credits Major Cracking A Word From Nuts Public Relations ................................................
