There are now 250 of yooz! THANKS!! It's been 6 weeks since the last issue, so there's lots of new stuff! **STILL** No one has written me with any more info on The Godfather Part IV... has anyone heard anything new? This new newsletter is NOT a mailing list (yet)... I've PAINstakingly taken all your email addresses from your Survey submissions, and have pasted them To: this document. Responses to this newsletter will NOT be sent to everyone, but just to me. But that's okay! If you have any comments about this, or anything else, please let me know! Enjoy... NOTE: The last mailing was a disaster, and many of you may have received multiple copies of the newsletter -- I'm sorry! With so many names on the list, the mail server hangs up sometimes and when I cancel and hit send again, sometimes it sends dupes. If this happens again, then, I'm sorry again! +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 2. WHAT'S NEW ON THE SITE? LOTS!! *A navigation frame for Netscape 2.0 users! *Classifieds & Collectibles page! Post your Wants & Wares! *Chatroom! Right now, I try to be on about 9pm EST almost daily! *Instant survey buttons on 4 separate pages! *Godfather actors' Address Book! Send 'em birthday cards! *Oh, did I mention THE SCRIPT for GF1?!

UPDATE ON MY STORAGE SPACE The GoodFellas site isn't up yet ;( Unfortunately, I haven't had too much time to work on it -- plus space is at a premium. But I'll keep you posted! If anyone can provide any space on a *reliable* and *fast* server for some WAV files, MOVies, or to mirror the script in Europe or the West Coast of the USA, please let me know! Grazie! +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 5. THE GF TRILOGY SITE HITS 18 AWARDS! Not only that, I got my first print-magazine review in Internet Underground in their March WebGuide! How many stars? 5, of course! ;) +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 6. GODFATHER DISCUSSION Because of the new For Scholars Only page, I won't have to include the text here. Last month I posted a conversation about "Who was the "real" Godfather? Vito or Michael?" -- If you haven't read Class #2 on the Scholars page, check it out! And check out Class #3: a 12th grade essay written by Sivan Tumarkin, who did a nice job! +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Folks, the best is yet to come! (I HOPE!) What's in store for the future? *More info on Puzo's novel! [time -- oh where's the time?] *A MOVie, I hope, if someone can host it ;) Please let me know what *you'd* like to see in the future! +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Thanks for reading!
