Juiced.GS: The Newsletter

[Goeshere@indy.net]

           --------------   A T T E N T I O N   ------------------

               New IIGS-specific newsletter to be
                launched in first quarter of 1996

          ------------------------------------------------------------------

In the past year, users of Apple IIGS personal computers have been forced to 
bid farewell to magazine and disk publications that supported them well 
through the years.

Today, however, they have the opportunity to say say hello, and welcome,
to a new member of their community.

A quarterly printed publication dedicated to covering the IIGS world is about
to arrive on the scene.

Juiced.GS, a journal that will focus exclusively on the IIGS, will begin publication
in the first quarter of 1996. It will present feature articles and columns 
touting the strengths of the IIGS and the software needed to push it to its 
limits. It will explore topics ranging from desktop publishing and graphics to 
system management to telecommunications.

The newsletter will also present in-depth reviews of new commercial software and
hardware, features on existing commercial products, up-to-date reports from 
the software and hardware development front, and assessments on the latest and 
hottest shareware/freeware releases. In each issue, readers will also learn 
how to get access to a disk loaded with shareware and freeware uploaded to 
Internet ftp sites and on-line services during the previous quarter, as well 
as usable templates, graphics, sound and music files.

Most importantly, Juiced.GS will report on what users across the IIGS spectrum are
doing to squeeze the most out of their personal computers. Although the 
newsletter's emphasis will be decidely focused on productivity, all topics 
related to the IIGS will be open to discussion. Users will be invited to 
submit articles, columns and letters concerning their specific interests in 
the IIGS world.

The newsletter will be published entirely on an Apple IIGS using IIGS-specific 
software with page proofs printed on a high-quality IIGS-compatible printer. 
Page layouts promise to be innovative and compelling, with special emphasis 
placed on showing users how principles of page design and typography can be 
applied to their own desktop publishing creations using readily available 
page-layout software.

Juiced.GS will be edited and published by Max Jones, a longtime IIGS user 
and computer hobbiest. When not tinkering with his home computer, he's the 
editorial page editor of the Tribune-Star, a 42,000-circulation daily 
newspaper in Terre Haute, Ind. In his 21 years of newspaper experience, Jones 
has worked in many phases of publishing, from reporting, writing and editing, 
to photography, page design and product management. He has won awards for news 
and editorial writing, editing and  page design, and is currently a member of 
a newsroom team preparing to put the Tribune-Star onto the World Wide Web.

Each issue of Juiced.GS will contain 20 pages and be delivered via U.S. mail. 
The first issue is scheduled for release in mid-February.
