Our first Scavenger Hunt was a success. My only regret is that I did not get the information out about it to non-Callahan's people as well as I would have liked. However, I must have made the questions harder than I thought, because no one sent me any answers. See, guys, even one right answer would have won the contest. Well, maybe you'll do better next time. I'd like to give a special thanks to the following custom forums for their assistance. Please visit them again if you have a chance. CF4 THE EMERGENCY AND PUBLIC SERVICE FORUM; The Emergency And Public Service Forum is a place for all persons involved in or interested in, but not limited to, Police, Fire, and Emergency Medical Service. Many of our members are employed by public service departments, but we also have people who are simply interested in the actions and activities of those in the services. CF9 WORLD COMMUNITY FORUM The World Community Forum is unusual. Plug us in! [WCF!] members provide the following comments: This has GOT to be the most literate, contentious, pigheaded, argumentative, funny group of people ever gathered on-line... and I am proud to be a part of it. Businesswoman... NYC across a diverse range of issues, philosophies, opinions, and topics." While catchy phrases may lure people inside, the wit and wisdom of the active participants is what holds their interest and keeps them coming back for more. Illinois Retail Manager Don't worry - the brightest and best of the people will eventually wind up in our fold ! Southern Belle CF40 PARROTHEAD MADNESS Parrothead Madness is for conversations by, for, or about Parrotheads. If you're a fan of Jimmy Buffet, you'll find this is the place for you! CF52 THE COMICS FORUM The Comics Forum is a group of fun-loving comic readers who've met for the purpose of sharing their ideas, thoughts, and opinions on this ever changing hobby. We have all sorts of interests in the comics field, from mainstream books such as ACTION COMICS to independents like ZOT!. Our members range from book-a-month readers to up-and-coming writers and artists. Whatever interests you have in comics, take a look. You'll be glad you did! CF56 DIVORCE -- BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER Recovering from divorce is often a difficult and lonely process. Our forum is one offering support for people contemplating divorce, trying to prevent one, people who have had one put on them unexpectedly, or family members/friends who wish to be supportive of someone in divorce. We hope our forum will give people going through a divorce a place to discuss the process and learn how to more effectively utilize support groups, attorneys, etc. to get through the pain and on to growth. As it is possible to grow through a divorce. Special emphasis of the board is also given to helping the children and also couples without children who have a completely different set of problems. Please join us as we grow through divorce. CF74 OUR PLACE Although unlisted on the Custom Forum directory, this is an open forum. I mean that in more ways than one. I've found that the members appear to be open and accepting as well. Drop in sometime and I think you'll like what you see. CF78 INTERACTIVE TRIVIA CLUB This club is dedicated to having fun, through regularly scheduled Trivia games. These games are run by volunteer Hosts and last 1.5 hours each. The week's schedule is posted in our forum (see the banner as you enter.) CF87 WORDPERFECT THE WORDPERFECT FORUM: Supporting high-end word processing at its finest. Everyone is welcome here, from dilettantes and beginners to...dare I say it? ...power users.

Z-Talk On-Line Information Service will allow subscribers to engage in a number of on-line activities such as message boards and chat services, while also offering various databases, such as a calendar of industry events and a historical time line. According to Zebra's Steve Zacharius, the service will permit readers and authors to communicate with each other as well as allow authors to help each other with writing projects. The service will initially be focused on the romance market, but may be eventually expanded to include other markets as well. Z-Talk, which launched in early September, is open to everyone, however, certain sections will offer access only to the trade. An added benefit which Zebra hopes to utilize will be market research. Zebra is charging a flat yearly fee of $60.00 to subscribe. This allows for two hours of access time per day. They hope to eventually interest other publishers in participating.
