The Risa Tigue Gen (and Sime) Re-Use Award

"it doesn't make good economic sense to use a Gen only once."
-- Risa Tigue, AMBROV KEON

Sime/Gen fandom operated primarily via snail mail for almost 20 years before going online in the fall of 1996. Many longtime fans, including some of the fanzine editors, were essentially cut off from mainstream fandom by the shift.

This award honors Sime/Gen fans who have given their old computer systems to further the cause of other Sime/Gen fans' gaining email and Web access, and also the recipients of those computers for giving email and the Web a game try and, well, for just being themselves!

The following people have won the Risa Tigue Gen (and Sime) Re-Use Award in 1998:

Kaas Baichtal for lending the twice-recycled 486 laptop to Karen Litman.
