Not Linux
Thanks to all our authors, not just the ones above, but also those who wrote
giving us their tips and tricks and making suggestions. Thanks also to our
new mirror sites.
Lots of excitement in the air these days what with free Netscape and
the debate over OpenSource. We're going through some interesting times.
Well, not much to report this montho on a personal front--work!
work! work! makes Margie a dull woman.
Have fun!
