Hear Ye, Hear Ye

WhereAs: 

The Dalai Lama has come to Ann Arbor
to remind us of the importance of Sustainability
(view his talk in real time on Sunday at 2 via the web here)
or a live broadcast will be carried on Michigan Channel 22 on Comcast cable in the greater Ann Arbor area.

AND

A minimum number of trees have been sacrificed in the production of this issue
    (this is Ann Arbor, after all)
Hence, this format frees up an unreasonable ration of litter
    (OK, you've been warned about impending, uhh, litter ration...?)

AND

Your editor, in addition to his new work doing 15 hrs/week providing Mac Desktop Assistance at the University of Michigan Museum of Art — an all Mac dept.! — as primarily self-employed, is subject to the Feast or Famine Phenomenon forever familiar to freelancers, has found a flood of requests for his services this week, and would not have been able to get a print copy together in time.

AND

Your editor, having recently offered an all too brief presentation to fellow MacTechnics members about Google Apps, and specifically Page Creator, gets this wonderful way to further demonstrate it's usefulness... (and time-saving nature)

AND

This could be a fun, interesting and hopefully useful experiment...

AND

Cassie, Gerry, Dale, Jim, Jo Ann, Tom and others who help make last minute additions and corrections, will have an easier time doing so this time. Join them! (how to...)

AND

With this web-based version you can easily enlarge (or compress) the type as you read and/or print it. (your editor really loves the leisure of looking at Large Print)

To change the font size in Safari (and Apple Mail!) ,
try Command (AppleKey) +  or Command —

AND

Your editor need not  have to tussle the tedious trade-off between readability and room for all the content  — and there's a LOT of content this month...

AND

No back and forth time to the printer is needing, saving not only time but gasoline, paper and electricity)

AND

Instead of historically-crippled hard-copy, Links provided will give you up-to-the-moment information, on into the future (e.g. gasoline link above)

AND

No need trying to tediously type tortuously tiny
       http://WebSitteAddresses_like_this_one _to_follow up_on_interesting_info.html

AND

If your editor shortens (or takes undue privilege changing) an article, one click will bring you back to the (possibly more current) source of the information

AND

Neccessity is the mother of in(ter)vention. Hopefully, it beats the alternative of no issue this month

AND

Local leaf loving litteratti find it a Tree Mend Us alternative...

AND

This approach will allow (truly) last minute corrections and additions to the issue in a way impossible with a hard copy (even when printed at 3 am Saturday morning)

AND

Since you're online anyway to read and/or print it, it'll be super easy for you to click a link like this one and participate through feedback!

AND

on and on and on...
