I had hoped not to pass the plate until the next issue, but as I mentioned last time all the extra disks I was forced to ship as part of the Archipelago/HyperCard upgrade have depleted my account. Also, the new postal rates will up the ante.

My new scheme is to make the $20 an annual subscription. Thus from now on I'll plan to hit you up the first issue after January 1.

As is my custom, I will take this opportunity to thank all of you once again for keeping this improbable contraption together. I think we are laying the foundation for a long and wonderful Ponarv. And now I will raise my nifty new cat mug in a toast: "Here's to us, to each and every one - long may we wave!"

See you in the Spring!
