Thanks to my wonderful husband, Riley, for the hard work he has done
|
|
the last three months to help get <I>LG</I> out. He has, however, decided that
|
|
he no longer wishes to take
|
|
full responsibility for <I>Linux Gazette</I> so I am once more in the
|
|
driver's seat. Whether or not I decide to outsource it again remains to be
|
|
decided.
|
|
<P>
|
|
In the meantime, I'm having fun and enjoying all the mail and good articles
|
|
that you guys have been sending in. Lots of you have subscribed to our
|
|
announcement service and it seems to be working well -- no complaints!

<P>
|
