Dear Habitat Pilot Tester:
On behalf of all of us at Quantum
and Lucasfilm, I'd like to thank you
for your assistance in taking Habitat
out for a "test drive." We hope it's
been as much fun for you as it has
been helpful to us.
Thanks to your cooperation, we've
learned a lot over the last few months.
Now it's time for us to step back and
analyze the results of this test.

Next week we will begin the process of
evaluating all of the data we have
compiled. During the evaluation process
we will have to temporarily close
Habitat while we test some technical
changes. Therefore, Habitat will not be
available beginning on Friday, May 5th.
We expect to complete our evaluations
and tests in about 4 weeks and will
keep you posted on Habitat's
re-introduction. So, keep your disk
intact -- you'll need it when Habitat
is available again!
Ü@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@Ü

Also on Friday, the Habitat Testers
Area will transform back to CIN.
However, we still encourage you to
send us your comments and feedback
on YOUR Habitat experience. Please
send your comments and feedback by
E-Mail to "Pilot Test". This
information will be very helpful
to us during our final evaluation
period.
Ü@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@Ü

Again, our most heartfelt thanks for
your help and cooperation in testing
Habitat. As we've said before, your
feedback and comments (yes, and
complaints) have been our guideposts
in determining what we have to do
over the next month.
Cathleen Anderson,
Vice President of Online Services
