Here's what we have in the and works for future issues of Softdisk PC. We can't tell you definitely which issue each item will go on, because these things are always subject to change due to unforseen circumstances; and it's also possible that the and names of some of these items will change by the time they actually come out. But these are a few of the upcoming features you should be seeing in the and near future.
{Snowfall Screen Saver} I know it's probably in the heat of summer when you are reading this, but we've got to plan our editorial stuff way in advance, so we're already planning on a winter theme issue later this year, which will include this nice Windows screen saver with snow coming down. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
{Home Inventory for Windows} Keep track of your possessions. Your insurance company will need to know this information if you are robbed or your home burns down, so why not do it now, {before} you need it? This handy Windows program will let you do it.
{Sokoban} This challenging puzzle game requires you to figure out how to slide the and objects around to achieve the necessary final configuration. If you liked those old sliding-tile number puzzles, you'll love this one.
{Bubba Borealis} (Or, is that {Bubba Australis}?) - Our friend Bubba has already gone to the and deserts of the and West and had a safari in the savannah of Africa. Now he's on his way to the and chillier climes of the and Arctic (or maybe the and Antarctic; we haven't quite decided which way to send him yet). Has he finally found a hospitable climate, or is he walking on thin ice? Find out on an upcoming issue.
{Win Decor 2.0} - Our original Win Decor, which appeared on issue 82 and is available in our catalog, is one of our most popular programs. It helps Windows users put variety into their desktop by having a different background each time they start Windows. Users have been requesting the ability to have a different screen saver each Windows session too; we've added this feature to this new, updated version. Use it with the and wide assortment of screen savers and wallpaper bitmaps we publish regularly on Softdisk PC.
{Language Tutor} - If you have always wanted to pick up a foreign language, or if you'd like to brush up on your skills before going on a trip overseas, Language Tutor will provide a practice drill. We'll be doing Language Tutors for several widely used languages, such as French and Spanish, on upcoming issues.
{GeoTutor} - The oldtimers in our audience will remember the GeoTutor series we published back on issues 61 through 63. It helped our readers learn about the countries of the world through a graphical interface. Well, the world hasn't stopped changing since then; if anything, the pace of change has been accelerating. There are whole countries in Europe which didn't even exist as separate nations a few years ago. Thus, we thought it was time to bring back this feature, in a spiffy new VGA interface. In upcoming installments, you'll learn all about the latest changes in Europe, Asia, Africa, the Americas, and the rest of the world.
Plus... every issue will have our usual assortment of graphics, sounds, articles, puzzles, cartoons, and user feedback. Don't miss out... be sure your subscription doesn't expire!
