This is where the Pandora FAQ's will be housed when completed. As you can see, I'm still in the process of writing them, with the kind assistance of members of the PandoraFan mailing list.
Please consider the following a rough draft, with the emphasis on rough. For the time being, I've just pasted some material in the place where the answer belongs, without any editing whatsoever.
Keep checking back as this is updated. And if you have any missing questions and, especially, missing answers you would like included, please send them to [email protected].

Q. Does the group have an official internet site or an e-mail address?
A. We are not aware of any official internet site. According to the booking agent ARTIMEX's web site, the group's e-mail address is [email protected]. However, I strongly suspect that ARTIMEX's relationship with Pandora is, at best, non-exclusive. Accordingly, I doubt that mail sent to this address would reach the group. Pandora's ________________ album contains the e-mail address of [email protected]. According to an online chat in September, 1999, the group's address is [email protected].

Someone had posted something about Pandora's having been background
vocalists for other groups. Could someone repost that information?
Q. Are there other recording artists using the name Pandora? For more information about the apparently quite popular Swedish dance queen Pandora, see http://www.findance.sci.fi/rantarock/pandora/pandorae2.html. It appears that our Mexican trio was first to use the name, however. You will occasionally find the Swedish Pandora's albums interspersed with the Mexican Pandora's on various on-line music retailers.

Most members speak at least some of both languages. If possible, it's a good idea to post at least a summary of your message in both languages, but this is not arequirement.
Q. How do I join?

If you want to make sure that all list members receive your reply, then please make sure you replace the "to" address with [email protected] before replying. Similarly, if you want to send a personal reply, please make sure that only the intended recipient's e-mail address is in the "to" field.

Q. I've noticed that all messages posted to the list have a short advertisement for some fine Microsoft (r) product. Is this list somehow part of a larger conspiracy headed by Bill Gates?
A. We don't think so. This list is hosted by ListBot, which is part of the Microsoft family. There is no charge, other than having to look at the advertisements.
