by Jim Weiler
You'll use this program for months! Assemble colorful, personalized calendars in minutes with Jim's newest template. Add graphics using our new PS Clipper or make sharp-looking non-graphic calendars.

PS CLIPPER
by Jason Blochowiak
Have you ever been frustrated with the Print Shop Images we supply because you couldn't utilize them? Look no further than this month's New Desk Accessory -- PS Clipper. In any graphics program (like Platinum Paint or AppleWorks GS), you can load any and all of the Print Shop GS images we have supplied over the years. Try it out in concert with Quick Calendar -- we did!

CLIP ART
by Carol Madison and Steve Maines
Requires a 640 mode paint program, like AppleWorks GS.
Page One: This month we travel back in time to view some clip art from long ago. Included on this page are images of our nation's past: antique clocks, an old lighthouse, and other Old Time objects.
Page Two: Welcome Home Troops!!! We have decided to depart from our usual Clip Art page to provide you a welcome home poster. With a Desert Storm theme, this poster will greet your loved ones in style. For added effect, load it into What A Poster! G-S [issue #18].
CHARLETTE FONT
Translated by Mark Collins
This "pencil-sketch" font is truly timeless. It is simplistic, yet distinctive. Enjoy using Charlette in 9, 10, 12, 18, 20 and 24 point sizes.
SPENCER╒S CORNER
by Spencer van Gulick
Coach Lamps are all the rage this month. Spencer's newest graphic will look incredible printed in Better Color with a nice "antiquish" font to compliment it.

REVIEWS : MacInker
by Sean Golden
What? Did that say, "MacInker"? Yes, it's our rediscovery of a money-saving piece of hardware. Created before the Mac was even conceived, this handy gagdet was around, inking ribbons. It is reviewed by the Managing Editor of Diskworld -- our Mac product.
