Here is the first issue produced from the suburbs of Dayton, Ohio. We are now moved and mostly settled in.
Next, I would like to apologize to the e-mail readers of the QHJ. When sending out the last issue, my mailer went south on me. Most people reported getting up to 60-70 copies of the issue. What made the matter worse is that I mailed the issue on a Friday, so that it was not until Monday that I found out that there was a problem.
I don’t know what went wrong. The mailing list was exactly the same one that I had used for several previous mailings. I will do my best to see that it does not happen again. Again, sorry for the inconvenience.
Because of the move, this issue has taken longer than my preferred “an issue every other month.” Now that I have a house of my own to take care of, and I plan to start on my Masters sometime soon, I hope that the QHJ does not suffer from lack of my time. I would like to see more articles submitted from readers. I know that many of you are programming out there. How about writing something up and sending it my way? I would especially like to see someone write an article discussing how to go about programming in the Pointer Environment (either in SuperBasic, Assembler, or C). Most users in the US do not use the Pointer Environment, and many do not know of it.
As more new items are becoming available for the QL, I have been tempted to include the news of these items in the QHJ. Instead, I have decided that I will avoid making the QHJ a news platform. We already have a number of good sources for new information about the QL with QL World, the International QL Report (about the best source around for new information), and Update magazine, plus the many local user group newsletters. I am focusing on areas concerned with programming. I will cover news of a new language or programming aid, but not of a new card or item for the QL. I will leave this up to the better mediums.
