I overstated the capabilities of Marvel, from the Library of Congress. Regina R. Reynolds says that all of the online files of the Copyright Office are on Marvel, but not all copyright information has been put online. Also, the LC's online catalog lists only items cataloged since the late 60's or early 70's, for the most part. Few full texts have been digitized, as yet. or . [Ann Okerson , 4/3/95.]

The problem with HP's new printer roller material affected DeskWriter or DeskJet 510 or 520, DeskJet 550C, and DeskJet 560C with serial numbers beginning with US36 through US43H or ES41711001 through ES45112001. Ask HP for their Paper Feed Cleaning Kit, if they haven't sent you one. You may have to clean the rollers once or twice during their life if the pages won't feed or you get bogus out-of-paper messages. or . [Tonya Engst , TidBITS, 1/30/95.] (Or I hear that you can clean the rollers with cold water and a scratch pad. Alcohol works, but can degrade the rollers over time.)

Professor C.A. Brebbia of the Wessex Institute of Technology has responded to the VIDEA'95 fraud charges by Drs. Purgathofer and Groeller at the Technical University of Vienna. He says that the allegations are unfounded, and deplores the "spoofing" or "malicious and offensive betrayal of trust" by respected scientists on the conference's Scientific Advisory Board. Their abstracts were _provisionally_ accepted as relevant to the conference, with weight given to the author and organization's reputation. Full acceptance would depend on the full papers. In this case, irregularities were noticed and the abstracts were not included in the provisional programme. "The Institute's conference programme has been extremely successful in ... providing opportunities for young scientists to interact with more experienced colleagues." [Avi Naiman , 3/31/95.]
