    Hello!  With completion of Big Blue Disk #36, we celebrate a birthday.  Big 
 Blue Disk is now three years old.  For three years, we have been combing the 
 woods, searching the cities, and turning over every rock to find the best 
 software possible and bring it to you on a monthly basis.  Along the way we 
 have met many nice people and made many new friends.  Though the job has been 
 difficult at times, we have always felt it has been a job well worth doing.  
 We hope that you have enjoyed our efforts and will be with us for another 
 three years. 

    I want to thank everybody that responded to the question that I asked in 
 Big Blue Disk #33.  For those of you that were not with us on that issue, I 
 mentioned that we were considering producing two monthly products for the PC 
 instead of just one.  One of the products would be geared for the home user 
 and the other for the business executive/small business owner.  The prospect 
 of bringing you two monthly products is one we have been talking about for 
 quite some time.  All the responses, whether for or against the two product 
 idea, provided us with many great insights and ideas we had not considered.  
 Let me assure you that we are still only considering the idea.  I believe 
 that once we have made the final decision, you will be pleased with the 
 outcome. 

    As you may have noticed, from time to time I will ask your opinion about 
 things we do in Big Blue Disk and the direction in which we should head. I 
 want you to know that I value your thoughts and opinions.  If you think we are 
 doing a good job, please let us know what it is so that we can continue doing 
 it.  On the other hand, I find honest criticism is just as important.  Keep 
 telling us what you think! 

    Well, it's time to go to work on Big Blue Disk #37.  Until we meet again, 
 we hope you have a great month!
