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!
