November 2002
A bounty of fascinating and helpful articles. From David Marcovitz' tutorial on using Access, Lynne Schrum's piece on distance education; past, present, and beyond to the masterful prose of ISTE's master writers Anita McAnear and J.V. Bolkan, there is plenty to be thankful for.

December/January 2002–2003
David Thornburg tells us about electronic music, Glen Bull & cohorts exhort the value of open source code and unveil their "poetry forge". Research Windows, Reminisces, and all our regular curriculum articles round out our December/January issue.
