Editorial: Why This Is Late . . . Again

I have a good reason this time.  I promise.  As of September first,
1994, I became a published (read: paid!) writer.  Furthermore, the piece
in question was the first installment in a new column.  But I digress.

In several areas of the USA, there are free monthly publications called
COMPUTER CURRENTS.  Dallas has one, and that's the magazine I'm writing
for.  Hopefully, if all you kind folks that are lucky enough to have a
local version of COMPUTER CURRENTS write in and ask for it, I'll go
national before too long.  <Grin>

The monthly column, ASK THE TECH: QUICK TIPS AND FIXES, is pretty
self-explanatory.  People write in with questions or problems they're
having or have had with computers, BBS's, or software, and I try to
solve them.  The article will also appear here each month, in the
monthly columns section.  Read it and let me know what you think!

I'm also doing a computer/BBS-orientated "Top-Ten List" for COMPUTER
CURRENTS.  Regular readers will know that such lists have been appearing
in these electronic pages all along.  The ones in CC will differ,
however, in the fact that they'll *always* be computer-related.  With
STTS, I'm able to do pretty much whatever strikes my fancy.  <G>

Anyway, that's why this issue is late.  I've been busy working on the
column and the top ten list, as well as other possible paid submissions.
I shan't forgo STTS, however.  With the recent addition of Shawn Aiken
as Assistant Editor (notice, Shawn - Your title gets Caps! <G>) things
should start going a bit more smoothly.  The next issue might even be
out on time.  Or closer, at least.

At any rate, that's my explanation.   Thanks for sticking with STTS and
making it one of the most popular e-mags out there!
