    ^1Big Blue Disk #38^0 finds us checking our list twice, making sure all of 
 you (naughty and nice) receive this issue.  Yes, it's that time of year when 
 you must make a mad dash to the mall, fight the seasonal crowds, and plunk 
 down your hard-earned dollars for those all-important Christmas gifts.  A 
 chill is in the air and the sound of Christmas carols can be heard as the 
 Big Blue staff of elves and I work many late hours to make sure that BBD #38 
 arrives safe and sound for your enjoyment.  So fire up the old PC, sit back 
 with your friends from Big Blue land, and before you know it jolly Ole St. 
 Nick will be sliding down your chimney!  Hey George, did you hear something?  
 I'm sure I did . . . 

    Just in time for Christmas, BBD #38 provides you with ^1Mail Master^0.  
 Useful in both the home and business environments, this program will help you
 organize your mailing lists.  You won't forget to send "Seasons Greetings" to 
 that distant cousin in Topeka, with Mail Master to help you remember! 

    A perfect stocking stuffer for that favorite computer-person on your gift 
 list is ^1PC-USA^0 -- an electronic atlas that contains detailed information about 
 every region and state of the country.  Through our exclusive "Living Demo" 
 feature, you can try the program before you decide to buy.  This interactive 
 demo allows you to access and use many of the features provided in PC-USA.  
 So go ahead and take a look!  
 
    If you like exploring the PC-USA demo, Big Blue Disk can provide you 
 with another such demo for ^1PC-Globe 3.0^0.  From the makers of PC-USA, 
 PC-Globe provides a full world perspective.  You can reference maps, facts, 
 and figures for up to 177 different countries with this powerful graphic 
 database.  For more details about obtaining your copy of the PC-Globe 3.0 
 demo, take a look at the "About PC-Globe 3.0" section of this issue. 
 
    Well, I don't care what George says.  I'm sure I heard something.  Before
 I get passed by, I think I will turn my computer off and go to bed.  With 
 dreams of bits and bytes sure to dance in my head, I want to take this 
 opportunity to wish everyone a safe and warm Christmas.  

    Until next year . . .
 
^C^1Merry Christmas^0 from the staff of Big Blue Disk!
