Crofton Online: March, 1999

Arundel Internet Users Group Forming

Are you fed up with slow Internet access, while areas all around us seem to get the latest high speed - and low cost - connections? Have you ever wondered why Jones Communications always seems to be the LAST with innovative technology?

Are you concerned about privacy issues on the net? Are you worried about protecting free speech, but also want to know how to shield your children from the raunchier stuff available online?

Do you have technical questions, or just need some help in getting a web page up?

Click here for details about how you can join and help organize the Arundel Internet Users Group. There is no cost and all 'meetings' will be online.

More Reader Feedback We devoted most of our last issue to a forum for our readers. One man felt very strongly that our political coverage has been inappropriate. To read our response, or to review his complaint, click here.

This month, we continue to publish our readers' comments, including one from a journalist in Poland who included an 'American' joke which may reflect how our society is viewed around the world. He asks us to reciprocate by sending him 'Polish' jokes. He included a clipping from his Polish newspaper which makes reference to Crofton Online! You should definitely check this out.

What Else Is New This Month

The Crofton Kiwanis Foundation is sponsoring a 50-50 raffle with a guaranteed minimum prize of $1000.00. The drawing will be April 14 and you don't have to be present to win.
