3206Y00C3Nby The Flea of Panda
0814Y00F05sharp08N
0806Y00C1NOkay then. Last issue, one of my compatriots submitted an article to this
0811Y46C5Y49C1Nglorious publication calling for the death of CU Amiga Magazine as soon as
0801Npossible.
0801N
0801NI am here to put forward the opposition to that argument.
0806Y00C5N
0811Y03C1Y65S4NCU Amiga Magazine is currently one of only two (or is that three- I can't
0806Y57S0Nremember which ones have and haven't closed down recently) Amiga Magzaines
0801Ncommercially available in Britain, and definitely one of the only two to
0801Nfeature a cover mounted CD.
0801N
0831Y38C4Y39C1Y44C4Y45C1Y53C5Y55C1NOf the two available (the other being Amiga Format), CU Amiga is definitely
0801Nthe best- not only do the editorials and reviews treat the reader as a human
0801Nbeing, rather than a subhuman underling (unlike its main rival...), but they
0801Nhave great cover CDs.
0801N
0816Y25C4Y25C5Y27C1NIt is, in fact, due to a CU Amiga coverdisk that I kept with the Amiga,
0801Nrather than move to a PC last year- instead of buying a 486 I bought an
0811Y67C4Y68C1Naccelerated A1200 after seeing Imagine 3 on my A500 (Imagine 2- an Amiga
0821Y00C4Y01C1Y16S2Y41S0NFormat giveaway -had been DREADFULLY SLOW). It was so impressive (for the
0801Nspecification of the machine) that I decided I needed a better machine just
0801Nfor that piece of software, so I bought it.
0801N
0801NThe tutorials in the magazine are great- every coverdisk is explained with
0801Nmost functions being explained in detail. The most the competition provides
0801Nis eight or nine sections covering everything in limited detail.
0801N
0811Y00C5Y02C1NCU also organize their cover CDs better- reader submissions are put in the
0801Ndirectory appropriate to the software rather than put it in a directory
0811Y60C4Y63C1Nby the same name as the software's author- not very helpful, AF!
0801N
0811Y08C4Y12C1NFinally- AF seem to have given up on decent full commercial covermounts
0816Y71C4Y72C5Y75C1Nevery issue- they only manage these every couple of months now, whereas CU
0801Nare still going strong on that front.
0801N
0811Y37C5Y40C1NRight- enough of this serious talk. CU Amiga Magazine is the only real
0801Nchoice for the serious Amiga user in the UK (okay, I read both regularly,
0811Y04C5Y06C1Nbut CU is the only one I found worth subscribing to!)- they're informative,
0811Y52C7Y69C1Nhelpful and, gosh darn it, they're jolly nice chaps (and chappesses!), too!
