This magazine is brought to you by the ºº Canadian Born Coders also known as CBC. ºº ºº We would like to thank RCN for giving us the Inspiration to publish our own ºº magazine. In addition, we'd like to commend all the people and groups that ºº make what the scene is today. ºº ºº We would also like to thank the Couriers. I mean without you guyz the ºº releases won't even reach Akira, PC or even L.A, BBX, or Enigma. Affinity ºº would like to give thanks to all couriering groups such as fATE, Amnesia, ºº RiSC, Everlast, Damage, Malice, and many others that we left out. ºº ºº ºº Future Plans Ü ºº ßßßßßßßßßßßßßßß ºº ºº Affinity is in need of more Artists, Writers and Musicians. You the reader ºº can also help make us this magazine better by letting us know of your ºº thoughts. ºº ºº Our primary goal is to provide you, the readers, a fresh and balanced view ºº of the Scene. We will do anything and everything to bring you behind the ºº scences information and anything else of interest. ºº ºº Remember that every story not only has one side but two, and Affintiy is ºº the second side. Therefore, give us a glace the next time we hit the ºº newstands. ºº ºº Last but not least, for all of you who are into coding. I'll be writing ºº articles on coding in Pascal and C++. In addition, we'll have a section ºº where we'd try to answer some of your queriers regarding compilers. ºº What do I mean? Hmm... The only way is to ask. So, if you're on the IRC ºº join #AFT and ask me, Mr. Mister what I have in store for your pleasure. ºº ºº ºº Programming Ü ºº ßßßßßßßßßßßßßßß ºº ºº This magazine has been purley coded in Borland C++ v3.1, with some inline ºº assembly thrown in for speed. Affinity is not only gonna bring you the top ºº BBSes in the world because RCN does that pretty well. We are still trying ºº to bring ALL the major BBSes in EACH area code or city. For example, UK ºº where people think the scene is dead, but isn't in reality. ºº ºº Currently, many users are trying to revive the UK scene. Affinity will keep ºº you posted. We'll also report on the major gimicks that the BBSes are ºº using to attract LD and local couriers. Such competition that will land ºº you a modem, an Internet Account, RAM, or even a P5. And that being the ºº the tip of the iceberg. ºº ºº What are your thoughts on the kind of music you'd like you hear in future ºº additions of the magazine? I know listening to the same kind of FM-synth ºº music can become pretty boring sometimes, therefore, we will be adding ºº all sort of other music. If you are a music lover and if would like to ºº send us your music to be used for Affinity, then please join us in #AFT. ºº Send us the file with a description of what type of music it is. We would ºº prefere MODs but other formats are happily acceptable as well. ºº ºº And, yeah one more thing. Only English Music no Multi-Lingual stuff unless ºº it is overly awesome. (you know what I'm saying dude) ºº ºº ºº Regards, ºº ºº Mr. Mister and Super Hacker. ºº ºÈÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ
