          Conference & Network Changes - History File - Reverse Order

12-01-94 Major changes.  A completely new lineup of conferences is offered.
         PEN was originally founded with the intent to deal primarily with
         important issues that face us all.  When Bruce and I assumed PEN,
         the plan was to continue with this concept.  After a year of trying,
         it is obvious that people are concerned about these issues; but,
         don't care to spend their leisure time with them.  BBSing is a 
         recreational effort for most.
