=================================

We aren't real busy right now but I was worried that I might be
pressed for time to finish this issue so Lisa helped me with it
and because she's also been helping me gather links for this
issue, meaning we had plenty to work with, we knocked this
one out fairly quickly.  We're in the middle of overhauling our
recipe section, adding some great new recipes we've created,
but that may or may not be completed by the time you see this.
Here's our new recipe index.  http://www.don-guitar.com/recipendx.html
As I write this, recipes which aren't yet converted to html files are
listed but not clickable and the main index still needs to be integrated
but at least there are no in-site dead links (insofar as I know *grin*).

As always, we love hearing from you.  Your questions, comments,
complaints, suggestions and/or requests mean a lot to us.

The most important people on the Internet, for you and I as computer
users, are software developers.  The world's coolest computer, without
software, is like a car without fuel.  It might look great, but what
can it do?  It doesn't matter who produces the software you love and
use regularly, the developers of that software need your support.

A bit of advice from Internet veteran Bayard J. Fox:

New computer users are often in awe of the things you can get without
cost on the Internet.  There can be hidden costs for the unwary. Use a
"throw away" email address to register, and be constantly on guard
against giving away personal information.  Use a firewall, and provide
only the barest minimum of information on questionnaires.
