From the Editor

"Will the last one out of Peoria turn out the lights?" We didn't. No one else did. And we're glad of it. That pessimistic bumper sticker back in the early '80s saw no future in this place. We did. And we found our niche (writing and publishing a business magazine.) We've prospered and are now awaiting the new millennium with excitement.
