Editor's Corner


Dear fellow PC enthusiasts: 

   Spring, the season that has caused man to wax poetical for 
centuries, has already begun or is just around the corner for 
most of us. During spring, and on into summer, a curious 
phenomenon generally takes place--you stop using your computers 
as much as you did during fall and winter. Why? Is it the "call 
of the wild" or a longing to experience "the great outdoors"? Who 
knows? But I'll blame it on the most poetic of sports--baseball. 

   This spring, don't let yourself be lured away from your 
computer by the promise of an exciting doubleheader. What, you 
ask, can compete? The answer: ON DISK MONTHLY. 

   This issue of ON DISK MONTHLY (#66) includes five major-league 
programs--Computer-Ease, Fitness & You, InfoSys, Word Up and 
Rainbows. 

   Find out how much you already know or still need to learn 
about your computer by playing Computer-Ease--the techno-lingo 
challenge. Find out why you should be eating right and 
exercising, then organize all your favorite healthful recipes 
with the on-line cookbook section of Fitness & You. When you want 
to know more about your computer--from how much memory is 
available to what type of graphics card is installed--InfoSys has 
the answers. Word-Up is a vocabulary-building challenge. And 
finally, Rainbows is an addictive, brain-buster of a game that 
will require your winter-frozen brain cells to thaw a little bit 
before you play it. We dare you to win--it's hard but not 
impossible. 

   Next, I urge you to print, fill out and return the reader 
survey located in the departments menu right above the Editor's 
Corner.  We want to learn more about you, including what kind of 
computer system you have and what kind of software you like or 
dislike. Please use the postage free business reply envelope to 
mail your survey today. 

   Like the sound of a baseball "thwacking" into a cowhide glove, 
the "click-clack-click" sound of a keyboard is somehow soothing 
and seems to remind us that everything is still OK in the world. 
Let ON DISK MONTHLY keep you busy keying.... 

Until next month,
Ronda Faries
Editorial Director
