In about one month, Juiced.GS, the galaxy's premier IIgs-specific printed publication, will begin its fourth year of service to the Apple II world. Do not doubt that 1999 will be another great year for the IIgs community, and for Juiced.GS. As so many of our subscribers tell us, Juiced.GS just keeps getting better and better. How so, you ask? Judge for yourself. Here are some highlights of the past year: -- Juiced.GS ... enlisted the able assistance of Apple II experts Bret Victor and Dave Tribby to teach users more about making music on their IIgses. -- ... introduced the Apple II community to the work of Louis Cornelio, a San Diego educator who keeps the IIgs spirit alive in his high school classroom, and maintains an impressive presence on the World Wide Web. -- ... attended Kfest '98 and was the fist printed publication to offer a complete, firsthand report of news and dramatic product unveilings that occurred there. -- ... was the first to publish in-depth reviews of new products such as SuperConvert 4.0, NiftySpell, WebWorks GS, GraphicWriter III 2.1, Disk Access II, and GSoft BASIC. -- ... launched a quarterly telecommunications column by Tony Ward to help users of all levels get more productivity and enjoyment from their online time and effort. -- ... introduced an ongoing series of articles/tutorials by Eric Shepherd about GSoft BASIC that serves the needs of both novice and advanced users. That series will continue well into 1999. -- ... in conjunction with Mike Westerfield and the Byte Works, placed a copy of "GSoft BASIC: The Free Version" into the hands of each and every subscriber (275 of them), so they could follow along with Shepherd's GSoft articles and learn more about this cool new programming language. -- ... played a key role in working with Michael Lutynski to reclassify the dynamic program Animasia 3-D as shareware and make it available to the IIgs community. -- ... continued to offer inexpensive disk compilations for special order from readers so that everyone can have access to such fabulous new software as Babelfish, Wolfenstein 3D, GShisen, Animasia 3-D, Fontpimp, Desktop Alarm, Marinetti and Twilight II 2.0. Indeed, Juiced.GS had a great year. (See samples of last year's product on our Web site. The URL is listed below.) And in case you missed it, The Lamp (the cool digital newsletter centered on Delphi) named our magazine the best Apple II publication of the year! We certainly appreciate such recognition, but don't expect us to rest on our laurels. We're hard at work to make sure 1999 will be just as good, or even better! In 1999, you will read more from Eric Shepherd about GSoft BASIC; be wowed by a stunning hardware discovery from Geoff Weiss; and learn more about the rich and colorful of history of AppleWorks Classic from Gareth Jones. What's more, Juiced.GS will strive in 1999 to become the ultimate authority and news source on the rapidly expanding area of IIgs emulation. Look for an introductory article from Ryan Suenaga on the meteoric rise of the "Virtual GS" in the upcoming issue -- Volume 4, Issue 1 -- due out in mid March. Juiced.GS will, of course, be in Kansas City for Kfest '99. And as new products and upgrades are released throughout the year, you can count on us being right there to report the news and present reviews. Renewals have been coming in since the final issue of 1998 was published, and we're getting a number of new subscribers as well.
