ATPM 5.10
October 1999

This is the latest in ATPM’s series of Trivia Challenges. Answers to this month’s Trivia Challenge will be found in the next issue of ATPM. If you have any suggestions for future Trivia Challenges, or wish to comment about almost anything, please e-mail me at egoss@atpm.com.

I would like to congratulate Texan (Home Of The Stanley Cup!) Doug Head and D. Lee Grooms from Washington State as winners in last month’s ATPM Trivia Challenge. Your ATPM t-shirts are on the way!

This month’s prize is a world-famous ATPM T-shirt! The ultra-cool, 100% cotton t-shirt emblazoned with the ATPM logo on the front and our logo and motto on the back goes to the first two correct entries I receive. Send your answers to: egoss@atpm.com. All readers are eligible to win once every 12 months.

The Rules

Each question has only one correct answer. The answers are stored in a hermetically sealed envelope guarded by a fierce Bengal cat named “Kira” who lives in our house.

This Month’s CD Recommendation

“ Lucinda Williams ” by Lucinda Williams—A very well done re-issue of her first album; includes six bonus tracks. Simply one of the best female songwriters in the business. Emmylou Harris said it best: “Just when you thought there were no more truths to be unearthed in the human heart, along comes Lucinda Williams who plows up a whole new field.”

Parting Pointer

Beginning this month ATPM is introducing a “Tips and Tricks” section. If you have a pointer that you would like to share with other readers to make their Mac experience easier or more enjoyable, please send it to me at egoss@atpm.com. Here’s this month’s “Parting Pointer”:

To keep special paper, card stock and break-apart business cards from getting damp and unusable in humid weather, try storing them in your refrigerator until needed. They will stay nice and crisp, just like your lettuce!
