Free Computer Network Goes Offline

CLEVELAND (AP) - Cleveland Free-Net, the nation's first free
community computer network, is already a victim of the Year 2000
bug.

The system, which started as an electronic bulletin board in 1984
at Case Western Reserve University, is scheduled to go out of
business on Oct. 1. Its operators said the system would self-destruct at
year's end because the computer program written for it can't recognize
the year 2000.

Operators have decided to get out early.
