Information about “THE ELECTRIC ALMANAC”
THE ELECTRIC ALMANAC is an elegant computerized book that offers in-
formation and advice on the best dates and times for accomplishing many
different tasks. Like the traditional almanac, it looks to the moon and
stars for the proper times for planting, asking for a raise, starting a
new relationship, or any of the other really important questions of life
-- including when to go to the dentist. Like the traditional almanac,
but with far more depth, it offers information on astrological charts,
tables of planetary hours and astronomy tables. You can not only insert
your choice of time and date, but also your longitude, latitude and the
meteorological zone so that the ELECTRIC ALMANAC can give readings
specific for your area.
And like a traditional almanac, THE ELECTRIC ALMANAC offers tidbits of
important information such as metric conversion tables and a variety of
oracles from I-Ching and Tarot to the not-so-traditional "Almanac
Oracle." Best of all, THE ELECTRIC ALMANAC accomplishes this in a
clear, self explanatory format -- all entries are available by high-
lighting and entering. You may miss the 19th century illustrations and
the bad riddles and puns, but THE ELECTRIC ALMANAC makes up for the loss
with a friendly interactive approach that makes opening up this book
similar to a chat with a very knowledgeable old friend.
