A computer-assisted traveler matching service pairing traveling T/S users with local user hosts across the country. Travelers and hosts each submit a form; Rick Johnson runs a database search and notifies matched pairs; a fee of unspecified amount applies to travelers only. Also mentions the Timex Survivors Flyer from Games To Learn By, Inc. (Williamsburg MA), a publication combining ads for hardware/software with news and reviews.
