Mack is Heading for 100!
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
With the latest upload of ALLMACK5.LZH we add Mack issues 75
through 93 to the archives. Satirical material is plentiful
to say the least and Mack has plenty to say. You can expect to
continue to view Mack well past the year 2030. Of course all
bets are off if Mack runs for office. Then again maybe his
viewpoint will change?
Mack Gets an EGA/VGA Facelift
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
We are still in the process of translating selected Mack strips
to GIF format for a variety of uses including EGA\VGA electronic
publishing formats and animated short subjects.
Multimedia Goes Telecom with BIG and CONDOR

all without terminals or graphic presentation programs.

screens on specific topics of interest to BBS callers. The

We would like to welcome Andy Nachbaur and the Wild Bee's BBS
to our family of subscribers. Reggie the Rattler, Talking
Head and Yellow Bird is being carried on Wild Bee's BBS,

MACK THE MOUSE Get's His Own Conference!!
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Mack recently got his first dedicated conference on PlanoNet. Yap
a place to call home. The general format in the conference is an
online ANSI comic forum where telecomics are welcome and political
viewpoints are as diverse as those participating in discussions.
More Formats Under Consideration...
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
After trying unsuccessfully to convert Mack to monochrome
for message areas, Online Publishing is considering a
monochrome Mike. Mike is a "human" and works well in the
monochrome world. However, the project is on hold until
more time can be found to make conversions and re-writes.
The market for this product has yet to see more than
two BBS's interested in the conversions.
