Well, as I said b4, I think the bug only occurs if you have a new 64 and a
1541-II. I think David Wolfe had the same problem? What kind of set-up do
you have Dave?

You can tell him if you like! Don't bother me none. I'm not exactly afraid
of his "rep".

I dunno, all that slagging off of NITRO certainly didn't up their
credibility in my book. That was a good example of complete intolerance of
others opinions. And who cares if a Mag is a board mag or not? I read a mag
because it is informative and interesting, not because it is spread around
a lot! I still consider REVEALED to be one of the most interesting mags
around, second is INGENIOUS BRAIN. THE PULSE may just come in third, but
that mag is still a little too "Elite-scene-ego" based for my
liking. Not too many others get a mention (not even Moonlight, not meaning
to put my own group down, but some more work definately needs to be done to
bring Moonlight up to standard (well, MY standard, anyway:)). Sorry, but
Vandalism rates along with any other "we're the best" type mag,
ie: WANK!
And you can tell that to Vengeance. I hope he'll appreciate my "opinion".

 > At least the outfit is cool!  :)

Well, yes and no. One thing I noticed is that they just seem to be
following the trend with proportional text displayers.. ie: nothing
particularly amazing in the display routine. (wait until you see the new
outfit for Moonlight!) Another thing was that you could select a chapter
after "backpage". It has no name, and seems to load the last
chapter. I'm not sure if that was intentional, but it didn't seem to be.
Also, the music was a bit boring, but that's life.

 > Hey Strobe, you finished that demo yet pal?

Well, it should be out soon. I think Errol is going to send the parts to me
to link into a trackmo type thing... (confirm Errol?).
