EDITORIAL
by Brian Grainger

The computers have survived the millennium bug and to prove it we are here with the first issue of Y2K. With luck, this issue will be online just on the 1st of February. To celebrate I shall sit back with a glass and watch Superbowl XXXIV.
I thought it would be appropriate to have a look at the effects of the millennium bug so far. Have a look at the Year 2000 article.
The 3rd part of the Windows 95/98 Registry series makes its appearance in the E-Journal and discusses the various computer system related keys.
One of last year's issues brought the innovation of photographs to the journal. Thanks to Alan Crease, his discussion of putting a PC together, with particular reference to the case, is also illustrated.
Our innovation this time is to include copyrighted material from elsewhere. Having seen an amusing, yet relevant, article from computer novice Rebecca Tyrrel in the Sunday Telegraph last year I decided to ask permission to give it a wider audience. This has been granted so Rebecca's first experience with e-mail should amuse you all. Please note that being copyright it is NOT included in the zip file for off-line reading.
Humorous pieces used to be a feature of the paper based newsletter. I have decided to continue the tradition here with Alan Crease's submission of help desk stories.
My final contribution this time concerns a new, to us anyway, operating system with GUI which is so small it fits on a single floppy disk. Be amazed by reading the Incredible Floppy Disk Demo.
Finally there is Ken's regular contribution from the 8-bit and Mac world.
Hope you like the first issue of the new millennium. If the standard is to be maintained through to the second issue I need some contributions. Alan's pieces tend to come every second issue so I need some new contributors for next time.
Deadline for the next issue is 23rd March 2000.
