Below can you find a picture from the Oscar Award ceremony, which you can find me the third from the left in.

This is another distinction in our career that we earned from a foreign website. It is a pity we received only four and not five stars but perhaps it will get better in the future :-)

Dear Author,

On behalf of PC Magazine, FamilyPC, Computer Gaming World, and ZDTV's "Call for Help," ZDNet's Software Library is pleased to announce that your program, Scribbler 98, has been selected as a finalist in the category "Web Development" in the 1999 ZD Shareware Awards competition. The ZD Shareware Awards honor the best PC-based shareware released or significantly upgraded in the past 12 months. We are delighted to include you in such good company.

This year, our sixth year running, we will present the awards at a reception, July 22, 1999 from 9:30pm-11:00pm, at the annual Shareware Industry Conference. All finalists are cordially invited to attend, and we hope to see you there. Please RSVP to ZDNet_Software@zd.com or via FAX: 617-225-3605 Attn: Mike Hurley before June 18, 1999.

Since many finalists will not be able to attend the conference, when you RSVP, please include a brief paragraph of what you would say if you do win an award. That way, if you can't make it in person, you can still make a few remarks to your fellow authors.

The Shareware Industry Conference will take place from July 22-24, 1999, at the Wyndham Harbour Island Hotel in Tampa, FL. Complete information on SIC registration, panels, and more is available at their Web site: http://www.sic.org
