     THE HOST: I am a Computer Tech and my mate Chris is a
               Graphic Artist and are both 35. We publish an
               electronic magazine from our apartment near Long
               Island Sound, a one hour commuter train ride
               from New York City. We are both vegetarians in
               the home,but I do eat meat outside, Chris does
               not. He and I are also smokers.
               We are not drinkers so to speak, but do imbibe
               on an ocassional basis, usually a drink or two
               with dinner. We also do not get out too much
               anymore, as I do not get home from the city
               (work) until about 6: 30PM, and am up at 5:00 to
               get some work done with the magazine and it's
               attendant BBS System.
        OTHER: Chris and I both enjoy getting out of doors
               here in southern Connecticut and are members of
               the Nature Conservancy. I have a pretty keen
               awareness of New York City, not the bars, clubs
               and restaurants, but the architectural points as
               well as the museums, galleries and concert
               halls, but especially its history, heritage and
               people.
               With the exception of Canada and the Caribbean
               neither he nor I have travelled outside the
               United States, though we are trying to put
               together something for September 1993. Target
               countries include France (I work for Credit
               Lyonnais USA), Scotland and Wales, Iceland (his
               choice) and Switzerland (again his choice as he
               likes things to be orderly and neat).
