If you are a U.S./Canadian person in the U.S. or Canada you can get 2.1
and most of the release versions of PGP from 
ftp://ftp.wimsey.com/pub/crypto

Easiest thing is to point your web browser to 
ftp://ftp.wimsey.bc.ca/pub/crypto/software/README.html

Then after reading and agreeing to the conditions, click in the
appropriate place and descend into the PGP directory.

But, why do you want version 2.1?

Because the guy who wrote it was let off after that on his jail 
charges, so I'm not going to use anything he made after that if
I don't know why.
I'm not saying that he rolled over or nothin buyt I'm gonna be
paranoyd like he said in the book. I dont suposse he'd mind,
since he said it.
I'm not real smart sometimes but I'nm not a real lamer, either.
(I don't think)

 I didnt hear any rumor or anything. It just makes sense to me to be
 paranoid like Mr. Zimmerman said.
 Besides, my uncles friends write cryptagraphy for government guys
 and big businesses and they mostly use 2.1 and 2.3 instead of the
 stuff they write.
 
 They say the code for the new stuff (PGP) is ok but there are too
 many funny-stuff programs being written that mess with it but that
 nobody is bothering to write funny-stuff to mess with the old
 versions. They say the same thing about their own stuff that they
 are writing.

 I cant read code real good, so i just listen to the best guys I know
 to know how paraniod to be.

 "No shit, Sherlock!"
 Thats what we say on my lists when people say stuff that nobody
 should forget. I think a lot of the cypherpunks forgot the stuff
 that they put at the end of their messages since they dont do it.
 
 Thanks for writing me. Your polite and helpful.

My uncle says I must be a cryptagrapher because I think in random
umbers. Then he laughs.

I dont write good code yet.
My uncle and his friends say that the government guys couldnt ever
do what they wanted with the cypherpunks because of the shit-disturbers
on the list but that the big business guys who want to own the list
to themselves will do what the government guys couldnt do.
(They ought to know cause some of them are the government guys who
watch the cypherpunks. I know cause they let me drink Scotch with
them.)
