The
Bureau
The Bureau
============
Welcome to this issue's Bureau. How about jotting down some
irrelevance for publication in this part of our humble periodical?
Sending it to the normal address might just gain you the pleasure of
seeing some of your writings in my little views forum...
It's seems we've only had letters of praise sent in for inclusion this
issue. Come on you TI haters, show us what you're made of!!
Various comments we've received.....
.... ModSpot is now perfect, I cannot fault it at all. Coloured text,
logical codes for regulars and newcomers, and a good whack of text for
each review. Both Christmas mods were excellent, Memoirs 2 was very
entertaining and, it's my humble opinion, that it is these sorts of
articles that put TI streets ahead of AM/FM. The "homely" feel you
said you wanted to create is certainly paying off by making the mag so
much more relaxed and entertaining to read. Originally I wasn't too
keen on this concept at the start, but I much prefer it now. You have
made me see the light of day....
.... I can't believe how you've managed to improve TI with every
issue. When TI2 came out I thought "Well, this is how it's gonna be
now, it can't get any better", I was proved wrong with TI3 and I was
simply blown away with TI4. The new menu system and improved module
player helped, but it's the quality of the mods and articles that make
the magazine. Unlike other diskmags I have read, there is not ONE
"filler" article in TI. Each article has been given individual
attention, nothing is "shovelware", all the articles are written in an
interesting and entertaining fashion and presented well especially
considering the boundries of a text viewing programme. The commands
series was probably the most entertaining tutorial I have ever read
and on the strength of the FOPIII review, I got it straight away and
really had to agree with every comment. ModSpot just improves every
issue and as soon as TI gets the attention it deserves from the
computer press, it will be un-touchable....
.... It's good to see a dedicated music forum which has a good sense
of humour and at the same time, is able to offer good advice and
interesting articles, unlike another diskbased mag which seems to be
rather straight-laced about everything and has more copyright notices
in it than editorial....
.... I got hold of every available issue of TI 3 days ago. All these
disks are real technical treasures which I can use for study and
examples. I even liked TI1....
.... I only wish you had named that lovely snowman featured on TI4's
boot up picture because my three year old daughter has made me print
it out for her and stick it on her bedroom wall. Any chance of seeing
the easter bunny on TI6?...
You never know.
.... I've been a regular purchaser of all types of PD and Licenceware
disks since I got my Amiga 4 years ago. I can honestly say that I have
never seen a disk which provided so much value for money as TI4.
Packed to capacity with items which were interesting and informative
and modules which would not be un-seen on disks on their own. TI4 was
a amazing example of what PD should be. Quality efforts produced by
Amiga loving people who really know what they are talking about. I'm
really looking forward to the first licenceware issue and if it's only
half as good as TI4, it will still be a bargin....
Well, thanks for all the comments and everything but I feel like
barfing into a very large bucket. I know you're trying to be nice and
everything but my head has just swelled in size by 8OO% and I've just
had enough of people being so nice (I'm not used to it). Next issue's
Bureau has been designated a compliment free zone..... see you there,
Maybe.
