As a freelance writer, I am asked to write articles on a wide variety of subjects. As a result, not a day goes by that I don't learn something new. I shall share some of the new things I learn here on this blog.

Today I learned that: I am the proud owner of 20-year old computer magazines
I volunteer once a week at my local library's used book store. Last week, someone had donated about 10 years worth of 20-year old computer magazies - Byte and Personal Computing.
We're not supposed to take computer magazines - at least not ones that are 20 years old, because who wants them? They're all obsolete.
Well, I wanted them.
I intend to share histories of the various applications and computer ads in the pages of these mags. I think it will be a lot of fun.
I had put a note on the carload of magazines saying that if it was decided not to keep them (and I didn't think we would) I would take them all. And today I got the call - they are all mine.
Right now they're sitting in the trunk of my car - I'll bring 'em in tomorrow when hopefully Cheyenne's killer wind will subside.
SO that's what you've got to look forward to, starting tomorrow!
