- Yeeee-Haw! If you're reading LiveWire's Multimedia
- edition you'll realize I'm celebrating the
- western-style theme in this issue. I hope you'll
- agree that LiveWire's artists Bruce Robison and
- Walt Meyers have out-done themselves again, and
- Howard Wooten's toe-tapping rendition of "Wild
- Wood" is a classic in more ways than one, but
- LiveWire's not all snap and sizzle. You'll learn
- Spring spiff-up tips and discover helpful files to
- download among these articles, whether you're
- bouncing in your seat or dodging that ornery
- six-gun totin' cowboy.
-
- LiveWire File Finder
-
- Speaking of downloading, this is our first issue to
- offer the LiveWire File Finder, a listing included
- with the Multimedia versions in a separate text
- file named 9405LWFF.TXT. If you have the Multimedia
- edition, that file is located in the directory on
- your system where you stored this issue. The File
- Finder is built into the text editions; check the
- Contents page to locate it.
-
- Use the File Finder as a memory jogger to help
- recall files mentioned in this issue that you want
- to add to your personal collection. You can even
- put the File Finder on paper if you have a printer,
- and make notes on it as you go through the issue.
- As its name indicates, you'll find all the
- information you need to find a file online in the
- File Finder: the name of the LiveWire article in
- which it was mentioned, the keyword for the
- RoundTable Library in it's stored in (for direct
- online navigation), the number and name of every
- file mentioned in this issue, and occasional
- remarks about pertinent details. Just be sure you
- read a file's long description online to be certain
- your system has the required elements for
- everything you download.
-
- Let me know if you find the File Finder helpful (or
- see ways to improve it) by sending GE Mail to
- LIVEWIRE. I'm always happy to hear from you!

- GEnie Faire Returns
-
- Mark your calendar for Saturday, May 14th, from
- 8:00 to 11:00 PM Eastern time for the second annual
- GEnie Faire! This special Saturday evening live
- event will take place in the National Real-Time
- Conference on GEnie Page 500, where it will be FREE
- of standard connect charges.
-
- Going to the GEnie Faire will give you a chance to
- explore the diversity of products and variety of
- RoundTables and events available on GEnie on a
- regular basis. GEnie sysops are building their
- booths now and preparing their shows just for you!
-
- What's the GEnie Faire like? Well, picture a county
- fair -- or maybe a fair held at your school. There
- are booths around every corner and lots of
- different activities, vendors, and displays.
- That's what the GEnie Faire is like, except it's
- online. The National RTC will have dozens of
- "booths" (rooms in GEnie conference lingo) with
- special conferences, games, guests, and fun
- activities. You might meet a published author in
- one booth, get cooking lessons in another, learn
- about Federation II's player-planets, or even get
- tips on riding a motorcycle.
-
- Whatever your interest -- from Astrology to Zymurgy
- -- the GEnie Faire is sure to have a booth that
- you'll find fascinating. Watch the GEnie
- Announcements for details as we get closer to May
- 14th.
-
-
- GEnie offers more multi-player games than anywhere
- in the known galaxy, and next month LiveWire will
- feature those games and tell you about two new ones
- scheduled to go "live" very soon. We'll also have
- the scoop on GEnie's new NBC Online RoundTable
- where you'll be able to get pre-broadcast
- information and find out more about your favorite
- NBC television shows.
-
- GEnie: The most fun you can have with your computer
- on!
-
- Seeya online!
