You can tell that the summer months have come - even if the summer weather hasn't! The number of contributions to the E-Journal this time has diminished. Only Ken Ross has contributed. This has meant that there are a greater number of articles by me. A bit tough if you do not like my style. I have tried to cover a variety of subjects, despite my preference for PC and Microsoft related stuff. The only solution to stop my babbling is to send in your own stuff next time. One thing you might have expected me to cover was the latest happenings in the Microsoft v. DOJ saga. Well, unlike the paper press, I like to read all the documents on the matter, think about it and then come to an unbiased opinion! With all the paperwork floating around recently I have not had time to complete this process. As the Judge may try to complete the case in the very near future it may be prudent to reserve my comments till then. I must admit I find it amusing that I read in my paper today that Canada has invited Microsoft to relocate there and escape US court jurisdiction!

Ken's regular contribution discusses focus groups, cultural diversity and a file reading program along with his usual interesting links and history lesson. In addition, I have included the complete source of his file reading program in the Big File Reader article.

My own contributions include the last part of the Windows 95/98 Registry series. This mops up some unanswered queries and gives lots of registry tweaks to alter the appearance of your Windows experience.

With the coming and going of the Amiga show in St. Louis I have tried to summarise the latest news on the Amiga.

With the 'I Luv You' virus, (I refuse to call it the Love Bug as it is not a bug - it works!), making the headlines I thought it would be helpful to tell you what everyone else doesn't. How Outlook users can protect themselves against the nasty things in cyberspace.

My contributions are completed with some Microsoft jokes and a comparison of the various free ISPs being touted in the UK.

Deadline for the next issue is 20th July 2000.
