                               INTRODUCTION

This newsletter is to inform people of developments in an effort
to advance computer education. Workers at the Ford Rouge Plant in
Dearborn, MI. were denied computer programming classes. There was
an effort by administrators of the UAW-Ford program at the
Dearborn Engine Plant to kill interest in computers and computer
programming. We want to keep interest alive because computers are
the future. We want to disperse information to users about
computers. Since the computer is still in the early stage of
development, the ideas and experiences of the users need to be
shared and built on if this technology is to advance. To this
end, this newsletter is dedicated to all people interested in
learning about computers. We welcome articles, programs, reviews,
etc. We want this newsletter to help people use their computers
in ways that will be useful and fun.
