- Hi, this is Eric Hsiao, the creator of GIF News. Thanks for taking the
- downloading GIF News. This issue is dedicated totally to sound boards,
- and we really hope the information you find within helps you pick the
- sound board that best suits your needs. If you find the information
- useful and helpful, please consider a small donation of around $5 to
- help cover long distance telephone charges incurred from the distribution
- of GIF News.
-
- So, sit back and enjoy the issue. Please feel free to send me any
- comments and questions you may have (i.e. that green on white font is
- too difficult to read, what software do you use to create GIF News,
- do you have any more information on the Pro Audio Spectrum 16, etc.).
-
- Our next issue will be July/August. Look for it around July 1st.
-
- Thanks,
-
- Eric Hsiao

- Again, GIF News can be freely copied and shared just as long as no
- modifications what-so-ever are made to this archive. This includes the
- addition or deletion of files to and from this archive.
-
- If you enjoy reading GIF News, please consider a small donation of
- $5 (US) to cover my expenses of uploading GIF News to long distance
- Bulletin Boards across the country. Also, please upload GIF News to a
- couple of your favorite boards. Any bit of distribution helps. By the
- way, a PostScript Laser Printer would really be appreciated here. It
- would enable us to send hardcopies of GIF News to those who want it
- on paper. If you know of any office/computer supply auctions, please
- let me know.
-
- Free advertising continues...read GIFNEWS.ADS for more details.
-
- Special note to Internet readers: If you would like to be a
- GIF News subscriber, just send me E-mail and I will add you to the
- mailing list. GIF News will be uuencoded and sent to you via E-mail.
- Many uudecoders exist for both unix and ms-dos platforms. If you are
- unable to handle the .ZIP format on your machine, let me know and I
- will send you the file in an LHARC, ARJ, ZOO, or ARC format.
- Also, if you're anonymously FTP'ing, and come across some files you
- think might be GIF News. You can easily tell which issue is up by
- looking at the filename. For example, the filename is:
-
- gn92-05.zip <-- The gn stands for GIF News, the 92 re-
- presents the year, and the 05 is the
- month (May in this case).
-
- So be sure to look for gn92-07.zip in the beginning of July.
