ABC ~ All
'Bout Computers What's New at Linda's Computer Stop First of all, I hope you enjoy this special issue. Most of the Fleet members are really busy right now (and so am I), so I want to thank them publicly for helping me put this together. However, because all of us are so busy (end of year deadlines and holiday preparations, I guess) and some of us are experiencing writer's block and borderline burnout (well, I am, anyway), I regret to say ABC is going on hiatus for a couple months. Mostly cuz we need time to come up with new, valuable material. Because the Fleet is so good at what they do, most of what ABC needs to cover has been covered already (and then some). So, let me take this time now to wish you all a safe and wonderful holiday season and let you know the next issue of ABC will not be published until February, 2005 In the meantime, how bout some of you people contributing some articles? I always love to get articles written by readers telling of their own computer experiences, sharing tips with us, and even their own tutorials on how to do all kinds of stuff on their computers. PLEASE contact me anytime via my contact form and let me know if you have something you want to contribute. OR, let me know what you want to read more about so I can give the Fleet some ideas. I will be collecting ideas and scouting for more writers over the next two months, so hopefully the February issue will be jam-packed with good stuff However, we will continue the Ask The Fleet service during this time, so feel free to continue to submit questions there. I hope you all understand and will be patient with us while we take a little, long-needed break :-) Speaking of breaks.... You all know how much I love gaming and the sims-type games are my favorite. So, I'm building a little Sims2 subsite at my website where I will share tutorials, tips, hacks, and downloads with any of you who are Sims2 fans. The site is small now, but there's some good stuff there and I will be adding lots more soon, so come back and visit it often to see what I've added. For some reason, burnout writing Excel tutorials doesn't seem to affect writing gaming tutorials LOL See Linda's Sims 2torials here And, though I won't be writing ABC articles for a couple months, I will still be adding tutorials to my website and contributing articles to TechTrax and other online ezines. As a matter of fact, I just wrote a tutorial for TechTrax on Excel's VLOOKUP function which you might find helpful. And you can always check my Articles Page to see any articles I've written for other sites. Oh ... and don't forget to check my site after Thanksgiving cuz I will be posting my usual Holiday graphics page for those of you looking for good holiday pics for your sites, emails, cards, and newsletters. Thanks again for being such a wonderful audience and we'll see you in February. Enjoy this issue and have a Happy Holiday Season!!
