With Issue LXV of Precursor, we moved to a new format using proportional fonts. After due
calculations, we determined that issues since that one contain about 30% more material per issue
than before. We still average 24 pages per issue, and our illustrations are certainly not the best,
but we feel they are getting marginally better.

Thanks to Ron Zollweg for this index comprising of issues LXI to LXXX, the fourth twenty
issues of Precursor. This is Ron's fourth index, thus tabulating all 80 Precursors to date.

Many, many thanks to Ron's wife, Martie, who transcribed the material onto disk using
Microsoft Word. This is a tough job, because it's not like writing prose, and so many of the
Roman numerals begin to look alike. ( I put the first three indices into the computer, so I can
really appreciate the work that went into the operation. Thanks, Martie. ee )

And thanks to all of our contributors and our loyal subscribers.

Convention Report: The Buffalo Magic Gathering (Oct. 16-18, 2003)

Our thanks to Ron Zollweg for this final index compromising issues LXXXI to C, the last
twenty issues of Precursor. This is Ron's fifth index, thus tabulating all 100 Precursors.

And my special thanks to Martie Zollweg, Ron's wife, for transcribing the material onto
disk. This is not an easy job, and after a bit, most all of the Roman numerals start to look
the same. This is certainly not like typing text! Many, many thanks, Martie. (ee)

And thanks to all of our contributors and our loyal subscribers.
