Woody Leonhard is proud to announce the arrival of his second electronic
progeny. "Woody's Windows Watch" (WWW, pronounced
"triple-dub"), a WOW-clone newsletter directed at Windows users.
"After the amazing success of WOW, we aim to make WWW just as appealing, just
as indispensable for Windows users around the world."
WWW relies on the WOW formula: the latest up-to-the-nanosecond news,
insider gossip, bug reports, level-headed virus
warnings, product and book reviews, tips and tricks,
and Web links, delivered FREE via email twice
monthly.
WWW holds Microsoft's feet to the fire, and lets readers know about the latest
patches, problems and workarounds - the good, the bad and the
ugly in Windows 3.1, 95, 98, NT 3.51, NT 4, and beyond.
It's a newsletter by Windows consumers, for Windows consumers, packed with
straight talk, hold the sugar coating - whether Microsoft likes it or not! Peter Deegan
takes the helm as WWW's Editor in Chief. Peter, who lives and works in Sydney Australia,
broke on the international scene two years ago as WOW's Editor. Since then, he's written
extensively for PC Computing and the ZDNet Help Channel. He's currently working on a (yet
another) book with Woody. Barry Simon, Contributing Editor at PC Magazine and Woody's
co-author for "The Mother of All Windows Books" series, features prominently in
a recurring column called "Your Expert On Windows" (uh, YEOW for short).
Barry's extensive experience with Windows, from a user's point of view - everything
from Win98 utilities to shareware - makes him the perfect person to dispense the
"YEOW Software Achievement" award (uh, YEOWSA) as the mood strikes.
All three have the firm belief that you take nothing for granted until we test it for
ourselves. Or as Woody says "The Truth is out there. But it ain't in the
documentation."
Woody, Peter and Barry timed WWW's release to coincide with the
availability of "The Mother of All Windows 98 Books," the latest incarnation of
Addison Wesley Longman's best seller, currently expected on store shelves in early
November. Excerpts from MOM98 feature prominently in WWW, and the newsletter serves as the
focal point for new developments that Mom would've wanted covered.
Initial plans call for WWW to appear as a fully formatted email newsletter (i.e.,
HTML), and to run twice a month. ZDNet's Help Channel features excerpts
from each issue, plus special WWW "No Bull"-etins as warranted.
Add the usual mix of tips, tricks, answers to your burning questions, bugs and
workarounds, pithy hardware and software reviews, update notices and tutorial on features
you probably never knew existed.
