different things
----------------
oh well, this is really an occasion
to celebrate (at least for us person-
ally!)...
the first-ever dude from the ex-gdr
wrote to us, since mamba< exists.
and we have waited 15 long months for
a letter from 'overthere' !
a big special thanx to you, christian!
'boss & co' is the name of the first
ex-gdr group i've ever heard of.
the group comes from 'dresden', and
also had some news for us, that is
an announce of the first copy-party
ever in the eastern parts of germany!
the party will take place on the 16th
of february 1991, beginning is
10 o'clock am !
the party is held in dresden, if you
come by train, leave it at dresden
main station. now take the tram #9
(in front of the main station!)
and leave the tram at station 'wasa-
platz' and ask for the 47th school !
bring your compy along with you !
ok, here are the facts again...
date: 16.02.91
place: 47th school, gostritzer str.19
o-8020 dresden - germany
time: 10 am to ?? am
entrance fee : 2 german mark
* food and drinks available at the

you all should know that whenever you
call a board by using at&t, the board
number will show up on the at&t bill
that the legal at&t-owner receives.
the i+t headquarter warez castle is
besides a few other boards a
spotlight for europeans using illegal
at&t calling cards.
now here is a letter which the sysop
of the warez castle received from
at&t !
special thanks to crumbsucker to make
this letter available to us (all).
'dear mr. xxxxx (warez king)
we have been unsuccessful in trying
to reach you by telephone to discuss
internation telephone calls that
have been received at your telephone
number (XXXXXXXXXXXX) from (XXXXXXX)
at&t investigators have determined
that these calls were places with an
an authorized calling card.
acceptance of these calls at your
number may result in financial and
legal liability on your part.
this letter serves as a notification
that upon its reciept and from that
date forward you will be held
responsible for charges of this
nature.'
ok, just some additional words...
warez king got this letter about 2
months ago, and since that he didn't
hear anything else from at&t.
apparently warez king won't react on
this letter as it's outside of any
validity anyway.
ok, here's another of those board-
reviews, it might be the last one,
we are not sure...
board : mystic cavern
group : censor
sysop : sorceress & sorcerer
number : XXXXXXXXXXXX
the sysop's are running the board for
about 2 years now. it has been the
headquarter for extasy, censor and
culture. the sysops decided not to
stay with extasy for some reason...
culture just split up, the board is
only censor hq now.
the board is running cbase 2.0, also
containing online games like empire..
the board has three subboards...
general, warez and magazine, in which
the lastest group news and other
gossip is posted.
everyone posts every call, if the
callers don't, the sysops remind them
only once.
the transfer-section is based on a
12.5 megs hardrive.
four drives are available (for the
normal users), three for new wares,
one for oldies/requests.
the board got about 100 users, half
of them europeans. the board gets
about 20-25 call per day.
about 35% of all users got unlimited
download-credits.
about my question why they decided to
put up a board...
'when i know, i'll let you know...
it's in our blood!'
and some additional words from the
sysops about themselves...
'...we both used to call a galacticom
system, after talking for a while
we exchanged pictures and soon after
that we met. so we have been
together since then and running the
board together is cool!!'
judgement
---------
users 78%
speed 80%
sysop's character 84%
subboards/posts 60%
total..............76%
ok, only a few words...
the board is really worth to be on,
the only thing i dislike is, that
everybody is forced to post every
call. that explains my low valuation
for the subboards, which are actually
quite good,but only under compulsion.
please note that the final judgement
is the editor's own biased opinion.
other users might have a total
different opinion about all mentioned
items.
well, everybody who is calling out
knows that problem...the line is
busy ! now we've got an interesting
letter from a guy in holland how to
solve that problem...
'i was just reading your board review
and then i thought of a cool idea.
if all usa dudes upload their stuff
to a major board in europe (i mean
all big groups in usa like nec,dmx,
random,tsm etc) if they just upload
it on 12 or 13 different phonelines,
then every euro-dude can download new
stuff on 12/13 empty phonelines (the
other 12/13 are busy).
the same we do in the usa. we upload
eurostuff to their major board with
also 12/13 phones and they can down-
load our eurostuff. so we don't have
got the problem with dialing to the
usa. and if one dude want to show his
cracks on an us-board, then he just
dials the number of the euro major
board. so i think this can be written
in mamba. maybe my idea could be the
solution. '
(ed. maybe...)
ok, so far the letter from sensei !
thanx, dude, you really had an
astonishing idea ! if you ever have
such a brilliant idea again, then
simply write to us, because we just
have to fill our magazine with some-
thing !
write to
mamba<
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
ok, a last word in this sub is
dedicaded to omg/antichrist...
...and to any other person who tried/
tries to quarrel (hi bandit)
we just wanted to point out that we
don't have to stand for cheap
accusations which are based on
rumours/lies anyway !
this is the reason why we seldom
reacted on those offends...we only
made a fool of those people by using
veiled (more or less) hints, but
never by abusing this magazine !!
if you want to see us giving our
opinion on these things in detail
then just write a personal letter
to the mamba<-box or call/contact any
(ex) crazy-member !
mamba< staff/(ex-) crazy staff
...but, then don't forget to add
some facts to your argumentation...
ops, one more...
- postcards from the edge -
starring meryl streep and
shirley mac laine, dennis quaid
the young actress, suzanne vale, is
famous and on her way down..
during the making of a new film, she
collapses and is sent to a hospital
for treatment of alcoholism and drug
abuse. after her treatment, she is
offered a role in a new film, but with
one slight problem, she will have to
get a person to look after her, or she
won't get the role!
and what is more logical, she moves
back to her mothers place.. but this
is only the beginning of all the
problems she could do without.. a new
lover (dennis quaid) drives her mad,
and things couldn't be any worse,
when your mother starts to treat you
like a teenager, and you are 30!
rating: meryl streep sings, and she
actually does is quite well.
and with a cast like that, who
could go wrong.. did you like
meryl in "she-devil" you will
love her in "postcards "
produced by mike nichols and
well played.......... 73%
- bad influence -
starring rob lowe and james spader
michael boll (james spader) is a young
yuppie who has it all, a car, a blond
girlfriend and a nice house.. one day
he meets the charming and smooth alex
who shows him a whole new view of los
angeles, a world he could only dream
of. within weeks, michael is slowly
dragged into a world of drugs and sexy
girls, strange club's and high voltage
in this world, he also meets claire, &
soon his ties to the real world & his
former girlfriend is gone, but what
michael boll does not know, is that
ahead of him, there is a bill to pay,
and a murder to come!!
will he be able to get out of this,
and will he do it alive?!
rating: rob lowe is back on the silver
screen, and he plays the role
very power-full, maybe his own
experience with the jail, sex
and press has influenced him
to play so brilliant!!
james spader is know from lots
of films, but the most recent
was "sex, lies and videotapes"
a brilliant thriller.... 89%
- air america -
starring mel gibson, robert downey jr.
gene and billy are caught ina war that
does not exist. the time is 1968-69
and the place is laos. both are pilots
in the topsecret c.i.a airline company
called "air america".. the vietnam war
has it's hero's, and gene and billy
are two of 'em.their base is placed in
the jungle and they fly with anything
anytime and anywhere, even with drugs!
the u.s army has made a deal with the
local general, and in return for the
general helping the u.s army, they
have to transport his drugs, and in
that way they can also make illegal
transports of weapons, enuff to make
them a nice fortune, and put 'em up
for their old days. the problems start
when a u.s politician arrives at the
airport to inspect the rumours about
the illegal drug transports. the major
of "air america" is deeply involved in
the illegal drug transport, and is of-
course getting alot of money by the
vietnamese general to keep his mouth
shut! to cover up for the illegal
transports, the general and the major
hide some drugs in gene and billy's
plane, and they have to prove that
they are actually innocent, and also
stay alive to prove it!
rating: this is the worst mel gibson
film i have seen in a long
time, and the plot is pretty
obvious, so unless you have
5 bucks you don't want to give
to the homeless, you go watch
for yourself, but don't say
that we didn't warn you!
weak, with no real plot.. 50%
ok, that's it for this months issue of
the mamba-film-review, but be sure to
get the next mamba, where we'll review
the new block-buster "predator ii"
