United World Friends Invitation # 201029 Dear World Friend: I am sure that by now you have tried all the "Get-Rich-Quick" schemes out there, and are ready and willing to turn your attention to something that really works. Most people are. Read on to unlock this Secret Door to your future. Would you like to quietly make extra money every month, year after year, and all of it be tax free? I knew you would. Now you can with the help of our World-Wide private network of friends helping friends. I would like to invite you to join a very special group of people and make the kind of money you are seeking. We have a private program based in the USA that extends around the entire world. Most of us are middle-aged or older, conservative and family oriented. We all made the commitment to do whatever we have to do -- as long as it is ethical, honest and legal -- to make tremendous income together in the years ahead. We have all `been there and done that' very much like you. We can all make money quietly and privately in comfort. You will not get rich overnight. If you want to get rich quick, this is not for you. By keeping it among private members, we can all profit handsomely in the coming months and years without drawing unnecessary attention to ourselves or our confidential strategies. I will show you how we use our unique, controlled, and honest program to put you in whatever income bracket you choose. All I want you to do is send $3.00 (to cover printing and postage) and I will send you all of our detailed information on how the club works and how everyone helps everyone. There is a one-time $10.00 set-up fee to become a member. Do not send the $10.00 now. If you like what you see after you review the information, then you can send in your $10.00 membership fee. We know you will like what you see. Our program will not interfere with any other programs in which you are participating. I will show you just how easy and powerful this program really is. Your tax-free cash gifts will come to you in increments of $10.00, not one or two dollars like some of the other programs out there. The money you can make is extraordinary, and we do most of the work. Our powerful Pentium servers and software keep track of everything for you.. You owe it to yourself to take a look and then decide if you would like to receive the kind of money that most people can only dream about. You will spend more than $3.00 on snacks today. Your future is worth more than a snack. No one will call you. No one will come see you. There is no pressure. You do not have to talk to anyone. You decide if you want to be part of our private network on your own after you review the information package. This is a private club with the privacy of each and every member protected. Quiet, confidential and comfortable. Mail this ENTIRE LETTER along with $3.00 inside US - $4.00 outside US (cash only USD) for printing and postage to: UWF-Info * POBox 802-ci * CLEMMONS NC * 27012-0802 * USA Name: ______________________________________________________________ Address: __________________________________________________________ City: _______________________ State: _________ Zip: ____________ Country: __________________________ Email: __________@____________ #201029

European Hostcount for April 1998
by Lee Wilmot 06 May '98

06 May '98

Dear All, below is the hostcount for April 1998. The table shows an increase since last month of nearly 120,000 (or 1.9%) to a total of almost 6,450,000 hosts in the DNS in Europe and surrounding areas. The it domain shows the highest increase for April with approximately 31000 hosts more than in March. - Brief Notes on this Hostcount - The main reason for Italy having the largest increase was a problem in last month's count: an important nameserver was not answering queries. Similarly, Greece's increase in comparison to an almost equal drop the previous time. Last months drop was discovered to be due to a file mixup when gathering the data which is not generated by the RIPE NCC. Finally, a drop for Germany is certainly not expected. This is due to three second-level domains being skipped, due to nameserver problems. de is such a large domain that a repeat count was not possible in the time available. - Other Ways to Obtain the Hostcount - The hostcount can also be found under ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/hostcount. The graphical version of the hostcount can be found at ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/hostcount/RIPE-Hostcount-{Mo,Qu}.eps The translation of the country codes can be found at ftp://ftp.ripe.net/iso3166-countrycodes All this data can also be found at http://www.ripe.net/statistics/hostcount.html If you are interested in the historic hostcount data, bunyip Information Services has hosted the complete set of data since 1994 under ftp://ftp.bunyip.com/pub/netstats/ripe - Credits - I would like to thank all people who help me to create the hostcount every month by counting hosts locally: at Gerhard Winkler <Gerhard.Winkler(a)univie.ac.at> be DNS-BE Registration Office <tech(a)dns.de> ch Marcel Schneider <schneider(a)switch.ch> cz Jiri Orsag <Jiri.Orsag(a)eunet.cz> de Peter Koch <pk(a)TechFak.Uni-Bielefeld.DE> dk Robert Martin-Legene <robert(a)dknet.dk> es Jose Sanchez-Seco <jose.sanchez(a)rediris.es> fr Annie Renard <Annie.Renard(a)inria.fr> gr Dimitris Zisiadis <zisiadis(a)forthnet.gr> ie Mike Norris <mnorris(a)heanet.ie> il Sason Levi <sason(a)NetVision.net.il> it Maurizio Martinelli <M.Martinelli(a)cnuce.cnr.it> Daniele Vannozzi <D.Vannozzi(a)cnuce.cnr.it> li Marcel Schneider <schneider(a)switch.ch> no Havard Eidnes <Havard.Eidnes(a)runit.sintef.no> pl Mirek Luc <mirek(a)nask.pl> pt Armando Domingues <armando(a)rccn.net> ru Andrey Dobrotsvetov <adbr(a)ripn.net> sk Lubos Elias <Lubos.Elias(a)uakom.sk> sm Maurizio Martinelli <M.Martinelli(a)cnuce.cnr.it> Daniele Vannozzi <D.Vannozzi(a)cnuce.cnr.it> tr Yener Yigit <yener(a)knidos.cc.metu.edu.tr> uk Robert Stone <robert(a)nosc.ja.net> Kevin Hoadley <K.Hoadley(a)nosc.ja.net> If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
