	Apak 77 \| Plink & Twokta (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The writing in Plokta has improved since the zine started up, and I particularly liked Alison Scott's description of unleashing her baby upon the world ("So there'd be a bit of a palaver, while I waddled over from the chair to the bed, trying not to drip too much.
		Overall I think I found Plokta a better fanzine, but I think Frohvet has a better idea of what the purpose of his zine is. I'm just not very interested in it.
		Plokta appears to have a mostly complete understanding of the history of fandom; Frovet is informed who Arthur Thompson is in the current Twink.

	Jargon - plokta (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		One might plokta when the abort procedure for a program is not known, or when trying to figure out if the system is just sluggish or really hung.
		Plokta can also be used while trying to figure out any unknown key sequence for a particular operation.
		Someone going into `plokta mode' usually places both hands flat on the keyboard and mashes them down, hoping for some useful response.

		Plokta hoped that the dust would be controlled by the amplified brain waves of the subject, momentarily adhering to form a crude replica of the Ideal object.
		Plokta often notices that the date and time differ by hours, weeks, or even years when he arrives in a new world.
		Plokta has now perfected the technique of settling in a new world, raising funds to buy the equipment for another jump, recruiting a few "colleagues" for his next experiment, and travelling on again.

	Trufen.net \| Hooperbole: Perhaps You Require a Demonstration (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Plokta is one of those fanzines published by a large editorial collective that can come to resemble a focal point in itself, and over a decade of publication, they have produced a dizzying wealth of content and design.
		Plokta presents a sly chronicle of fannish life, in which great works and events in the world of speculative fiction are an occasion for a costume party or at least an amusing pastiche.
		Many fanzines end up receiving awards when the end of their run is clearly in sight, and the readers who have been entertained by them feel a need to show their gratitude for the effort of publishing.

	Apak 78 \| Dispatches to Apak (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Comparing Plokta to Twink is like those old classics, apples and oranges.
		Subjectively I like Plokta more, but this judgment is based on my lesser interest in reviews of science fiction books and not on their true relative values?
		I grant that the Plokta cabal has better printers at their easy disposal; I do not accept that they are better at using Photoshop, though they certainly have more experience.

	PLOKTA - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term PLOKTA (sometimes rendered in lowercase, plokta) /plok't*/ is an acronym for Press Lots Of Keys To Abort, and essentially means pressing random keys in an attempt to get some response from a (computer) system.
		This will sometimes eventually result in beeping sounds from an unresponding computer as its keyboard buffer fills up.
		A slightly more directed form of plokta can often be seen in email messages or Usenet articles from new users - the text might end with

	GUFF Trip Eric Lindsay
		We headed for Reading and the Plokta cabal editorial gathering at Steve Davies and Giulia De Cesare's home.
		Sue Mason was all ready to leave when we arrived around 3 p.m., however Alison Scott, Stephen Cain, and Mike Scott were in full creative flow, and just about to do the proofreading of the latest issue of Plokta.
		The chaos level at a Plokta editorial meeting was considerably increased by a hungry and probably bored Marianne, but was similar in kind to what we expected.

	TAFF Deadline Update
		There have been three previous conventions, run by the Plokta Cabal who are sure you haven't forgotten that their fanzine Plokta has won a Hugo Award as well as some Novas.
		The LFF, the Plokta Cabal and the organisers of previous Dangercons disclaim all responsibility for James Bacon, who is the current European administrator of TAFF which therefore can't help it.
