Welcome to the new issue of VariQuest!
It's been a few years since this kind of update. For those keeping track,
VariQuest #51 was sent out on 3-31-05. There's been a lot of material
added
since them :-) I barely know where to begin. Special thanks to everyone
for
being so patient these last few years as we've battled with certain
difficulties. For those in the know, it has been very much appreciated.
Thank
you! It's great to be back under full steam!
As always, we'll list it by catagory. Of-course, for the always up-to-date
listing of things we've added can be found on the site here:
