GIF News November 1991 Issue #17 (C)1991 Hsiao & Hunter, Inc. Release date: November 8, 1991 Dear GIF News reader, Sorry for the week and a half delay of the release of this issue. It's been a busy month here with a new upgrade from a 286 12MhZ to a 386-33MhZ. Everything is running smoothly now. You may have noticed that this issue only has the month November on it. Does this mean GIF News has gone from bimonthly to monthly? Well, not exactly. We plan on releasing another issue in December solely for review of products for the Holiday season. This includes games, hardware, software, etc. Be sure to look for it on a BBS near you. Starting January, GIF News will go back to being bimonthly.

Special note to Internet readers: If you would like to be a GIF News subscriber, just send me E-mail and I'll add you to the mailing list. GIF News will be uuencoded and sent to you via E-mail. Many uudecoders exist for both unix and ms-dos platforms. If you can't unzip on your machine, let me know and I'll send up the file in an LZH archive or a ZOO archive. Also, if you're anonymously FTP'ing, and come across some files you think might be GIF News. You can easily tell which issue is up by looking at the filename. For example, you see: gn91-11.zip <-- The gn stands for GIF News, the 91 re- presents the year, and the 11 is the month (November in this case). So be sure to look for gn91-12.zip come December.
