IIRC, there was a back-cover ad for Help Systems around 1991 on NEWS/ 3X

director, who was a woman.
Of course, I may have been dreaming!
Only partly dreaming. Not the back cover--that was "owned" by BCD. However, on Page 181 of the December '91 issue of NEWS 3X/400 you will find what you recall. 3000th copy of ROBOT. A picture of Selma Christian (Senior Systems Analyst for Microsoft Corporation) holding a commemorative plaque occupies most of the page. That add seems to have been a "once-of" and never appeared again.
How bored must I be ...
