RUBY IS FIVE
In February of 1991, I bought my first computer. At that point I'd
been making a living running mainframes for over thirteen years, but I
hadn't bothered getting a computer of my own. We got a cow box, added
an HP DeskJet, and six months later, I bought my first modem.
In September of 1991, Del and Dave Freeman posted the first issue
of "Ruby's Pearls Paperless Elecmag". I didn't happen across it until a
few months later, when I first started messaging in the RIME Writers'
conference. Del and the late Lyn Rust urged me to submit something, so
I did. My first appearance in RP was issue 8, with "Snapshot".
Time marched on, and so did Ruby. RIME Writers' convulsed, but
Ruby marched on. P&B came and went, but Ruby marched on. Two years
ago, I signed up as Del's assistant editor; Ruby's still marching,
sequins flashing, motorcycle-part earrings dangling, and silver-leather
miniskirt, uh, twitching.
Welcome to issue #60, and Ruby's fifth birthday. This month should
be a whole lot of fun--we have new faces, new places, new vitriol.
Oh, and we have Ruby, too.
--Michael Hahn, Assistant Editor
