o After Richard's demonstration of the GEnie online service at the November meeting, there was considerable interest in the details of how to connect from Australia and the charges which would be incurred. In an effort to keep this information permanently available to members I've uploaded a file with all the details to the Apple II BBS. This file (#683) can be found in the [O]pen Information 'drawer' of the [F]iling cabinet and can either be viewed online or downloaded.
o The Apple II BBS is also home (#681, [O]pen Information area of the [F]iling Cabinet) to a new Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document which deals with connecting CD-ROM drives to Apple // computers. This document explains the compatible CD-ROM drive models, SCSI cards, drivers, and outlines some available CD's. The document also outlines a number of ways that real life people have CD-ROM drives connected to an Apple //. If you are thinking about buying a CD-ROM drive and want to make sure you'll be able to use it on your Apple // then this document should be read.

o The AppleWorks 5.0 release date (21st Oct 1994) slipped due to problems with publishing the manual, however it
should be available now. The features are listed elsewhere in this magazine.
o I'd like to take this opportunity to extend my best wishes for the festive season to everybody. May your holiday be relaxing!
