PONGLIFE #1:  release v3.0.1

Fully updated and expanded. Complete 2-Disk Magazine in two archives.  Make sure
you have both files:

PL1D1.RR.SHK
PL1D2.RR.SHK

Contents of v3.0.1:

Mountain Construction Set (Classic PL feature) *
Interview with Tony Morales (Classic PL feature) *
Software Review:  Circuitry (Semi-Classic PL feature) *
Back-Talk (NEW) +
Simple Text Viewer (NEW) ++

    And probably more if you look hard enough.  There's always more. 
    Hint: Easter Eggs ! :)



	
Classic PongLife stacks include either improved appearance or

navigation or both, but not necessarily IMPROVED CONTENT!  (You have been
forewarned -Ed)

+ BackTalk is a neat little stack that will call you all sorts of nasty
names.  (Great for all you S 'n' M-ers out there)  Just push start to get
verbally abused.  (Must be taller than the top line -> ] to use--We have
are ethics and standards, after all -Ed)

++ STR is chock full of old PL related crap/stuff.  From the original
GEnie Roundtable discussion group (Auri's old rants, excluded--only
because they had been erased before I could see them), to The History of
Noisetracker.

FEEDBACK:  You got it, we want it!

Of course, we reserve the right to publish your stinking email--It's what
makes America great, DAMMIT!

Ben Johnson (Senior Editor):  bmbj@juno.com
Ed Thorson (Junior Editor):  ed_thorson@juno.com
Stuart Bedlam (Creative Consultant):  sbedlam@juno.com
PongLife Discussion Group/e-zine:  dormant@juno.com

    [Dormant is not automated, so please be patient.  If you'd like to
receive the e-zine DORMANT:  The Odessa Entertainment Newsletter, which
keeps up to date with the Odessa Projects like PongLife, SFMediaMonthly,
HyperParaUniverse, etc, send email to the above address, with the
message, (or something like it):  "I'd like to subscribe to Dormant!"]

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:

First of all, I would like to thank Juno for the free email.  Things
would certainly be moving a lot slower without it, and probably not at
all.  [There's already over a million Juno members, so get on the
bandwagon, already!!  Juno's requirements are Windows 3.1 or better
(Don't look at me like that, dammit!  I believe they're working on a MAC
specific platform, but don't wait around for a IIGS platform, because you
probably won't get it, Pedro]

Arthur Weigel for the 486 Computer  (The more I use my IBM--the more I
like my IIGS)

Charles T. Turley, for spending a good deal of time uploading PongLife to
the Internet.

And of course, the always undervalued beta-testers:  The aforementioned
Charles Turley, Laura Johnson (who only did it because she loves me, at
least that's what she said), and Alan Paine (who lived up to his name
every second he worked on it.)
