Our site renovation & move is
complete! In the past, we've recommended USLINK, which was once
one of the best internet services around. Due to service
reductions, and some of their best techs terminating, we now
withdraw that recommendation. We also issue a consumer caveat about
AOL, which has the resources to be one of the best, but has
actually become one of the worst internet
providers available, at one of the highest costs. After five years
with them, we are glad
that AOL is no longer part of the equation. More problems
than we care to list, or you want to read.
Thank You for Your Readership! A table of CONTENTS for this page is near the top of the page!
Now you can download the complete current issue of
Northern Herald in
.pdf format. Instead of separate links, as before, you'll find
all of our Features, Classifieds, (including Northern Auto
and Boat Shopper, Minnesota Real,
Northern Personals and other classifieds), Hot News, and now,
PICTURES TOO!, in
the online issue, which now looks just like our print edition.
Click here to
download the issue,
and the free Adobe Acrobat Reader (if you don't already have
it)
In the changes we have made to the page,
we have preserved our fast-reference searchable library (The
Library) as it has always been. It is still in ASCII format for
easy back issue research. Headline

Order of the United States Court of Appeals,
On June 16th, 2003, the United States District Court, at
Minneapolis, ordered the City of Bemidji to pay $3,001 in damages,

in issue of 06/30/03 in The Library, Vol. 8 (link below). Northern
Herald is published every eight weeks by
Northern

The complete current issue is now available in

ON SEPARATE PAGES! It has news, Northern Auto and Boat Shopper,
other features,
classifieds AND PICTURES! The downside is that it takes about 5-
15 minutes (depending upon your modem) to download (so readers may
want to save it after
downloading), and you have to have the Adobe Acrobat(R) Reader. But
the Acrobat Reader is free and will enable the reading of many web

2002 after recording over 60,000 hits since 1997. Due to the
way they jack things around at AOL, the counter link then started

(most locations)
In
Bemidji
(called, by some, the "Crime Capitol of
Minnesota")
Bemidji business, as well as
the City of Bemidji, by Al Felix, City Attorney, have made a
concerted
effort to try to keep the facts and the free press out of the hands
of Bemidjians who want it. That should tell you something about
Bemidji business and city management. MENARDS, a major midwest
employer and retailer, a few years ago, just said 'No' to Bemidji.
Thinking people do. (Now, several years later, Bemidjians have
offered Menards a better deal, and they're opening here soon.)

Ever notice how, when a floppy fails, most tracks are usually OK
and there are just a few bad spots? What a waste! Why throw away
the whole disk?
Now, buy the Northern Herald DiskFix System! It's better than
other diskfixes because there's no messy software to learn or
contend with! It's 100% Hardware-Oriented - even we can understand
it!
This is basic stuff to enable even Northern Minnesotans to fix
their floppies! It enables you to easily remove the erroneous data
bits that are garbaging up certain tracks, making them
unreadable!
What we send you:
razor knife
magnetic media
our special superglue
magnifying glass
some Band-Aids(R)
Special: order NOW, and also receive an Advanced Repair Kit which
blocks-out BAD SECTORS which cannot be fixed with the DiskFix kit,
so your machine will not try to access them!
What you get:
Map of floppy disk - data and directory
areas
Duct tape (25 ft. roll - enough for hundreds
of floppies!)
Extra special for prompt response: Hard drive access sluggish? Send
your order today and we'll also include a 486 or 586-size can of
WD-40(R) with a special straw that conveniently fits the apertures
in your tower!
Northern Herald High Tech - Solutions for Today's Minnesotan!
And remember - if it can't be fixed with duct tape and baling wire
- it just can't be fixed!!
