2. Updates...Updates...Updates...

Okay, I didn't have enough time to do the quizzes and polls
from last week, so I have kept the same polls in this week's issue.
I'm still sorry for any inconveniences this has caused some of you
die-hard Lucasarts Fans.
Also, this Newsletter is becoming dull. So I have made a
graph of things you can do to earn points and make the newsletter
more exciting each week! But remember, these things only count
for the next two weeks, so ACT NOW!!!

3. Homepage Updates

So it begins...construction of the ONLINE newsletter
has begun this week. I still have a lot of work to do, an I need
Lucasarts graphics, so send any of yours in to--jarfreak@hotmail.com
