[ T r a p p e d I n A b s e n c e ] number 000 prerelease Thank you for your interest in TiA [Trapped in Absence]. Let me start off by telling you a little about what TiA is all about. TiA is a "semi- serious" zine.. In our releases you will find stories, articles on current events, humor, and thoughts on some subjects from different angles. Along with some hack/phreak articles in it. For the most part, I, the editor of TiA, Mephisto, will try to keep TiA as informative as possible.. I believe writing a little about everything is a way to a successful e-zine.. I hope you enjoy reading TiA as much as I enjoy writing it. You may contact me via internet email at: phiber@en.com , or catch me on irc as Mephisto (Im usually on channel #zines). And by the way, I am *not* the Mephisto (mephistopheles) who writes the *2112* zine. Dont be confused. ;) If you decide to look for me on irc, if you do a /whois on mephisto, you should get a hostname as phibah@*.en.net. Then you know it is me! Greets go out to: cbg, skooter, creed, Joltcola, evilive, brain_sur, Guardian and morbius! later, Mephisto (phiber@en.com)
