You have turned it into a wonderful and interactive adventure with the visual and written arts, interactive and on-line. The Green Cart now has a new home: < http://www.greencart.ican.ca > Please point your dial that way, and don't forget to replace that bookmark *:) New e-mail: < greencart@ican.ca > -------->>>> But, did you know that???? The Green Cart Magazine has also been the foundation for a local webpage creation company, (Webworks Internet Specialties), and has allowed them to create a job training and skills program for youth and college students here in the Lower Mainland of B.C. Webworks has utilized the new job opportunities opening up to youth via the leading-edge technology of the Internet, The Green Cart Magazine has been the platform for hands-on-training, allowing us to teach webpage creation by doing. Webworks job training program has become very successfull, and is now receiving govenment recognition, as well we have recently gained the support of David Chalk, President of Doppler Computer Superstores. Doppler has provided us with office space and use of several computers for the students, artists, and volunteers - all learning digital publishing by working on, The Green Cart Magazine. ------->>>>Why have I posted this information? Because, due to Webworks' recent merger with Internet Canada Corp., and the innevitable request for domain transfer of ---greencart.com--- to its new home at WWW.ICAN.CA. The Green Cart Magazine has had its account frozen and locked out without warning, or due cause. Our attempts at goodwill with Wimsey have been ignored, and as a result, the Green Cart's domain has been locked off by Wimsey. Why??? We are still trying to figure that out ourselves!?! ------->>>>>How does this hurt my company, training programs, and magazine? As Wimsey is well aware of, until the "Internet" transfers Green Cart's domain name over to Internet Canada, Wimsey has complete control over the Green Cart's site. Wimsey has removed it from the World Wide Web -- they are also exercising their power to collect and hold all my personal e-mail, and my company's, and all other companies with e-mail and accounts @greencart.com. ------->>>>>>What are we doing to keep The Green Cart Magazine, and our clients on-line? Webworks and Internet Canada have created the new domain of: www.greencart.ican.ca -- this will be used until the rerouting of --- greencart.com --- is safe in its new home at Internet Canada. It can take months for domain transfers of this sort. ------->>>>>What do I hope to "get" from voicing my situation, and opinions? I hope to create some protection for all other website creation companies, like mine, against "Cyberspace Landlords" waving the almighty wand of disconnectivity in an instant! ----->>>> For more information, or copies of the e-mail correspondance concerning this incident from all parties involved, please e-mail me at: --- leah@ican.ca --- or call me at one of the numbers listed below. Thank you for taking the time to read this posting. The Green Cart Magazine is a project very close to my heart, and it is a cause I will try my hardest to protect. Personally, I am very hurt, and offended by the unprofessional way Wimsey Information Services conducts business. Thank you for taking the time to read. *:) Leah Ferguson president, publisher ................WebWorks Internet Specialties............... .................-= WestCoast WebWeavers =-................. ..485...West 8th Ave..Vancouver..BC..Canada...V5Y 3Z5....... ....phone:.604/875/0212 ext.122....fax:.604/875/6558........ ....
