Oops, 1998. Is everyone ready for the mistakes and problems associated with forgetting what year it really is? The next couple of issues, which are already done and waiting to go out, are thick with submissions. We got sick of seeing so many submissions sit in my inbox, so I decided to add, or delete, all submissions up to the end of 1997. This issue has only our first five categories, Arts and Humanities, Books and Music, Computers and Technology, Education, and Entertainment. We are also finishing up a laundry list of links related to travel throughout the United States. If you have any suggestions for states or regions (e.g. Pacific Coast, Pacific Northwest, Great Lakes), we would love to have 'em. Just reply to this message, or e-mail us at travel@weeklyb.com. We're getting ready for the big vacation too! Enjoy this first issue of 1998, and we hope to hear your comments and suggestions! ____________________________________________________ List Provider Information Listbox (www.listbox.com), a service by IC Group, offers lists for groups of any size or type.
