[Gambas-user] [GambasMag] Articles for Feb 2015 issue

[Randall Morgan]

Hi Kevin,

I would greatly appreciate any input you have for the magazine. Right now I
have little time to devote to it. But I am sure I can still get the artist
to do the cover and help edit articles. Right now and for at least the next
few month my health will limit my ability to produce anything. But I will
do what I can when I can to get another issue out. At the moment I have
about one day a week I can at least function at a limited level. The others
days I simply am too ill or too tired.

The site was down on and off the last few days as my isp was updating
equipment. This next week the power company will be working in the area and
that may effect connectivity at some point.

I want to thank everyone for their patients and for their help with the
magazine. With any luck I should be back at it in a few months.

Sincerely,

Randall

If you ask me if it can be done. The answer is YES, it can always be done.
The correct questions however are... What will it cost, and how long will
it take?
