[From the ``Intro'']
Jack Fischer's group at UPENN continues to provide a service that keeps
researchers appraised of new work in the fullerene field. This service
is an email-based bulletin board providing many useful capabilities. To
learn more about the service and its capabilities send the one-word
email message, INTRO, to bucky@sol1.lrsm.upenn.edu. You will receive
current information about how the service works by return mail. To
order ``The Almost (but never quite) Complete Buckminsterfullerene
Bibliography'' from the Arizona Fullerene Consortium (very long 700K and
growing with each revision) send the one-word email message, BIBLIO, to
bucky@sol1.lrsm.upenn.edu.

[From the ``Intro'']
This list is for the discussion of Buckminster ``Bucky'' Fuller, his works and his philosophies on Life, the Universe, and Everything (NOT The Douglas Adams book!). For those of you who don't know, Bucky is the person who invented the Geodesic Dome, which is what we all played on as children in the playground (the domes with all the triangles, remember?). Another example of geodesic architecture is the giant white sphere at Disney World's ``Epcot Center.'' Of course, Bucky did a LOT more than just invent the Geodesic Dome! He invented other means of housing people cheaply, efficiently, COMFORTABLY, and basically anywhere in the world! (Yes, even ON the oceans!). So if you're interested in discussing Bucky, learning more about him, or finding out about 8500 ft. high pyramidal cities that float in the ocean and house 1,000,000 people comfortably (2000 sq ft. apartments with 1000 sq ft. extra patio/garden space), or 1+ mile diameter spherical cities that FLOAT IN THE AIR *WITHOUT POWER*, then sign up on the list!
To sign up, send a mail message to listserv@ubvm.bitnet (for most sites)
or to geodesic%ubvm.bitnet@mitvma.mit.edu (other sites) with the line

You may be requested to respond to an e-mail to confirm your address. So check your e-mail after subscribing.
Archives of list geodesic are available from listserv (only goes
back a few months). To get archives for say June 94 send a one-line
message to listserv@ubvm.bitnet with the command:
get geodesic log9406
To find out all that is available send the command ``index geodesic.'' I also have the archives on my machine (all of them) and they are on FIX See section FIX BBS.
This is a bulletin board in Philadelphia at (215) 463-7160. Use modem settings 8N1. There are many discussion boards such as ``Synergetics Conference'' and ``Global Village.'' FIX uses Magpie. Call Critical Path hotline (215) 545-2212 for further details. This service is free.
I have put the log files from GEODESIC on FIX. <J>ump files to get them.
