1.  iCE is gonna  party like its Nineteen  ninety nine! Da  daah da, da  da da!
Happy  new year everyone and  welcome to another  installation of "That time of
the month  goodness" (tm).  We're ringing  in the new year  with another bigger
and badder collection  of that fiber-filled and lactose-tolerant eye candy that
we  have  trained our pet  monkeys to  do for us.  While  not every  group  who
releases this month  can be assured of seeing the digits roll over like a giant
odometer into 2000, you can count on iCE  rocking and rolling all the way until
The  Artist Formerly Known As Prince comes up with a new song (and a new name).

2.  Ringing in the new year, of course, demands  a certain course of action. We
all  do it, but  none of  us keep  them, so while we're  at it, let's make some
resolutions!

o iCE members resolve to engaging in extra-curricular sexual activity when in a
position of  power, to lie in  front of  authorities, and  to become the most
revered and respected people in America.

o iCE  members resolve  to cut out 15%  of dietary fat in order to live longer,
healthier lives.  This  also allows us a  double-dose of  truffles after tea.

o iCE members resolve to make  an internet IPO, and be worth 50 million dollars
while our earnings are either negative or zero.

o iCE members resolve to do  something political!  Why,  with names like Cheese
Grater,  Digital Interface, Kabal-13 and Rogue Leader, we  stand as good of a
chance as any guy named "The Body".

3.  Mongi  started  his  world travelling a little  early and headed  from  his
home  in Sweden  to Hong Kong this month.  On the way, he used the new iCEGlobe
(a feature of iCE V2) to meet  up with  Steven Stahlberg,  one of  our favorite
Hong Kongian Swedes... what?

3.14  Found  wandering near our southern HeadQuarters, Egoteq and Leonardo were
found alive.  Barely.  But alive.  Not  very concious though, so  they probably
don't  remember the  re-initiation very well.  Also  this  month, Senior  Staff
Sinned Soul  leaves to pursue  other interests, like goat-chasing and  going to
bed at 11pm on New Years Eve.

4.  To focus  some attention  on our critics  this year, we  are  going to  try
releasing second-rate and art-less works in each pack, so that people who can't
match  our quality and  quantity will finally have  a chance to  compete.  Hope
this helps  out, with the New  Year and all, how  can we NOT  be humanitarian??

5.  Like its Nine-teen nine-ty nine!  Da daah da, da da da!

6.  In  what will  probably be  our last newsworthy  piece of this  info  file,
Mr. Mister  is continuing  hard work on what  will undoubtedly be as great of a
viewer  today as when  iCEView first hit the scene  years ago.  Ansi, BMP, JPG,
BIN, RIP, and IDF  support are either  finished or almost  done.  We're working
on adding some neat features that will differentiate our viewer from the field.
Look for something useful!

7.  Ok,  one more newsworthy  thing.  Next  month marks the  4th anniversary of
Inazone's  magazine, Fistful of  Steel (FOS).  You  can expect another  quality
release along with guest art next month sometime.

8.  And  thus concludes  this series of mindless banter and iCE propaganda.  We
hope everyone had a  safe New Years and  is ready for that  which we call 1999!
