THE FOLLOWING ARE FROM THE APRIL l990 ISSUE OF MOAUG NEWS COMPLIMENTS OF THEIR EDITOR THE VERY TALENTED PAT HERRINGTON.  We appreciate their continuing cooperation with ANN. 
 
THAT'S RICH by MOAUG columnist Richard Lefko as published in April, '90 MOAUG (his title for this column was DISK&THAT; I used the title "And the Beat Goes On..." PJH)

     It has been called our "ever-changing" world, and for AD AM users it's really no different.  Some things end, others c ontinue, and still others seem to rise from the ashes.
     Set forth are some examples of each:
  
    Some things end:
  
     BJ and Orphanware are gone again.  The difference this t ime is that they are REALLY gone forever!  The OBS/AAUG bul letin board has closed down and BJ is selling the last of his ADAM equipment, including the hard drive that contains the v ast amount of files his board collected.  One can only hope that some ADAMite, somewhere, will buy that equipment and beg in anew!
     I personally had many conversations with BJ over the pho ne lines and found him to be honest, sincere, outrageous at times, but ALWAYS willing to help out.  BJ and his OBS boar d and everything that went along with his organization will b e sorely missed by all and we certainly wish him well on his future endeavors.  Good Luck, BJ!!
  
     Others continue:
  
     Have you gotten an A.N.N. disk yet??  If you haven't, you're probably missing one of the best ADAM deals around!!
     ANN is the ADAM News Network.  ANN disks are regularly mailed out to editors, sysops, and AUG officers as a source of information for their newsletters or groups.  ANN disks contain various articles, programs, and reviews just like newsletters.  In fact, ANN is exactly that: a newsletter on disk!  They are distributed by Barry Wilson of the Saint Louis AUG, and are now available by subscription to all!  Right now you can subscribe on a trial basis for $4 a month, three months for $11, six months for $20, or one year for $35.  It's $2 more for datapack versions.  An ANN mailing is usually at least 250K on two disks (though I've received THREE at times!) What a bargain!  
     Write ANN c/o Barry Wilson 
               12967 Weathersfield DR, St. Louis, MO 63146. 
Checks should be made payable to Barry Wilson.
  
STILL OTHERS RISE FROM THE ASHES:  
  
     If you haven't already heard, Sol Swift is no longer associated with TSF (The Softworks Factory.) That's the bad news!  The good news is that Sol is still with us and back on his own again programming and postulating his position in a new publication entitled, "ADAM COMPUTING TODAY".
     By the time you read this the first issue will have already been sent out as well as GoDOS 1.1!!  ACT will be published semi-monthly.  Yes, that means TWO ISSUES EVERY MONTH, one on the first and the other on the 15th.
     I've spoken with Sol personally and feel we've really gotten him back this time, for good!!
     His new company is called PHOENIX 2000 and they will be handling all of the Digital Express products.  Now maybe we can get started on GoWriter, GoCALC, GoLINK, go Sol...just keep goin!!!!
     His new address is PHOENIX 2000, PO BOX 1292, KINGS MTN, NC 28086.

Editor's Note:  I received an advance copy of the new ACT newsletter last week.  It is 23 pages long, including advertising.  It's much like NIBBLES AND BITS.  There are some changes, though.  There is less space devoted to product descriptions (as of this issue, Sol no longer includes listings of most outside PD software.) In case you're wondering, ACT will be sent to all N&B subscribers.  I also received a copy of the PHOENIX 2000 catalog.  I understand that M.W. RUTH will be the main distributor for PHEONIX 2000 products.  Jay and Ruth Forman have also volunteered to accept telephone messages and relay them to Sol until he gets a business line.  
                    M.W. RUTH: (609) 667-2526 PJH
