It has just taken a few shakes to rouse it from recent slumbers. I am happy to say that the print version of issue 7:2 (the same issue that went on the web in June 98) is now in press and will be mailed to subscribers in a week or two. Having now successfully tooled up for both online and print publication, we believe the Journal back on track, and it will come out regularly once again. I apologize for the long hiatus, and appreciate the patience of our loyal subscribers. We are excited about the new format, where all articles appear both in print and on the web, and can be downloaded as notebooks. We are also working to get all back issues available on the web site. For more information about The Mathematica Journal, to subscribe, or to update your address information, visit www.mathematica-journal.com. Also, if you are a subscriber and don't yet have a login name for the online version, you can get one at this web site, or by sending an email to subscribe at mathematica-journal.com. PS -- I am also sorry if people have been sending inquiries about the Journal without getting any response. Please let me know directly if this continues to happen.
