A Note from the Editor
Welcome to the August, September, and October 2004 Edition of the Colonial Newsletter. September was an exciting month in that the Colonial Fan Force published the first magazine ad in Variety magazine. The second magazine ad will be published shortly in Cinescape magazine. Congratulations to the Colonial Fan Force and all the fans who contributed money and effort to make this happen. The next step is to write the studio heads to tell them about the ads and what you want to see in a continuation of the Battlestar Galactica original series. Be sure to visit ColonialFanForce.org for more information. Lots of Battlestar Galactica news on the Internet is included in this edition of the Colonial Newsletter. Also be sure to check out the Cylonix 18 Channel Vocodor for Windows that is now available as Freeware instead of Shareware.
See you next Edition!
