Well, except for the news of the tragedies still going on in The Spirit Realm things have gotten a little bit better here! But first the bad news.
We inquired at a computer technician's store about someone coming to our apartment and installing the web cam we bought last month. We anxiously awaited the big day when he was to arrive. Two days before the set appointment he called to confirm the time and ask a bit more details about our computer.
Well, to make a long story short, we found out our computer didn't have enough megabytes to hold the programming for the web cam. So we had to cancel the appointment and put the cam in storage until we get another machine that will handle it. Big time disappointment for both of us, since it'll be a while before we can buy an updated model.
However, something fantastic happened!!!! On our way downtown last Wednesday, we found a computer store! It wasn't open but they had a sign in the window next door saying to visit the second floor for new computers. On our way back home we did. And guess what happened? We bought a brand new scanner!! After a bit of trial and error we installed it and it's working perfectly. It has a preview/editing feature we LOVE and we've been doing what we want to with it...putting pictures and graphics on our web site! It was the exact thing we were looking for, they only had one left, and I went right to it. The most amazing thing is it's so easy to use! It only took us a couple of days to have the basic picture operation down pat. Thank you IBM! And most important of all The Lords who certainly must've guided us to this place, somehow.
Check out The Main Page and see our very own logo we just put on. Also Additions Nine if you want to see what your editor looks like. And most important of all... Our Back Issues List where now you'll be able to see all the cover pictures that were in each issue and more as time goes on. V1N8 is the best!
Other than that nothing else new. Been getting wonderful letters about our old paper issues no longer being published. We thank you for them all, and hope everyone will keep in touch. Until next month, be careful and know The truth IS out there!

P.S. After I wrote this article we learned that the so-called literary agent we sent one of Gerald's manuscripts to for consideration is, in reality, just running a referral service to people who rewrite books, and gets paid for the customers she gets these services! Fortunately the manuscript was returned to us.
