ABC ~ All
'Bout Computers |

What's New At Linda's Computer StopWell, first of all, the big news is that this is ABC's 24th issue, which means we are two years old today J Happy Birthday to us all!!!And, along with this comes my announcement that our format will be changing slightly. Because the writers for this webazine all do this on a voluntary basis, I've decided to stop being such a slave driver and forcing them to write stuff they may not feel like writing. So, from now on, ABC is going to have a much looser format. The writers can write about anything they want to write about, as long as it's computer related and I think it would interest the readers. So, don't be surprised if you see one of your favorite writers writing about something totally different than what you expect from them. AND, I want to open up our writing staff to anyone who is interested in contributing. If you think you can teach us something, by all means contact me and let me see your stuff. But don't panic...none of the Fleet are leaving...they just may be branching out a bit, to write about other areas they know about and want to share with you. Another change I've made is I've made ABC a bit smaller. Believe it or not, most of the feedback I receive says it's too big! So, since I really don't have the time to do it more than once a month, I am simply being more selective about what I include and only including the creme de la creme. LOL As usual, I appreciate feedback from all of you, but can't possibly please everyone, but I try to go with the majority. And the next announcement I have is this: Our own PowerPoint expect, Kathy Jacobs, has just been made a Microsoft PowerPoint MVP!! I hope you all will join me in congratulating her. She sure deserves this recognition for all the help she has given many people thru newsgroups, support groups, ABC, and, of course, her own wonderful website, powerpointanswers.com. And, our own multimedia expert, Vic Ferri wants to tell you about the great offer being made by VideoMaker Magazine. You can now get a free trial issue and free Ulead CD of video editing software. No obligation, no cost. Note - the free CD is for US only. Other countries, free trial issue only.

I'm also still working on some new ebooks and video tutorials that I will be making available for you by late summer or early fall, so keep an eye out for them. Of course, I've also added some new links to my favorite links
