- AVERAGE USERS MONTHLY
-
- An electronic media magazine dedicated to the support of
- the average user. No extensive technical jargon, nothing to
- insult the intelligence of someone who obviously has the
- knowledge to download these files.
-
- DISCLAIMER: The views represented herein do not necessarily represent
- the views of the editors. Monthly contributors assume all
- responsibility for ensuring that articles submitted do not
- violate copyright protections.
-
- NOTE FROM EDITOR: Distribution is picking up. What can I say? Now several
- Bulletin Board Systems are carrying this publication
- on a regular basis in both Canada and The United States. Check out the
- DISTRIB.xxx file for the number nearest you! Feel free to pick it up
- for your system. Give us a shout if you're interested.

- Lots of information from IBM this month. A new DOS version, as
- well as some Windows slamming/flaming. I'm always in for some of that.
- After reading the PC DOS overview, I think I'm going to switch from
- MS-DOS v6.0 to PC-DOS v6.1, many features in there that I like, however,
- keep the Data Compression. I like Stacker just the way it is, thanks.

- Groan. I've spent sooo much time, money, and effort this month
- letting everyone know about the magazine. Finally figured out Internet
- newsgroups, and racked up the phone bill sending out the magazine. All
- in all the most productive month so far. Not too many contributions to
- the magazine though. I've had to do all of the research myself so far. Look
- for more information coming to us via the Internet. Many thanks to
- Internex Online for thier support and services.
-
- As an additional service, we are now adding in a section for free
- bulletin board listings. Not that we would ever charge for such a thing,
- but you don't have to carry the AUM on a regular basis. Also, people from
- all over Canada and The USA (World?) will see it. Why not? It may add a few
- callers to your system!
