- THE BEST AND IT'S FREE! *****************************
- AUGUST 1994
- Hello again. This is the place where you get your chance to say absolutely
- anything you want. YES, anything at all, I couldn't care less. So come on
- write to me now:
-
- Dan Wood
- 3 Cavendish Drive
- Northlands
- Darlington
- DL1 2GQ
-
- Right, now that that's out of the way let's hear what you have been saying
- over the past 2 months...
-
- /\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\
-
- BAZ & ARNIE? EEEEH!
-
- Dear Mr Wood,
-
- I feel I must protest strongly to the article in the last edition
- of Page by Mr Finen, and Mr Kelly (We prefer to call them Baz & Arnie - DAN)
- . I feel that the content of the article was highlt unsuitable for a quiet
- computer related magazine like your own. Please take note of this and get
- rid of them, then please notify me by post to let me know that they shall
- not be appearing again and I will start to send off for Page again if you
- apoligise properly. If you want me to continue to get Page you would also
- edit some of the letters sent in by some of your stupid readers who think it
- is big to use rude words or sexual conatations. So much for you being an
- editor, you should pull your socks up a bit and then you may get a few more
- readers who are satisfied.
-
- Yours
- J.HOLDSWORTH, NEWTON AYCLIFFE
-
- Dan says...
-
- I'm sorry you felt like that about the article. The guys were really
- just having a muck about. I personally think that you have a bit of cheek.
- There was a clear warning at the beginning of the article notifying people
- who are prude not to read on, also it was mentioned in the letter enclosed
- in your envelope. So don't come on here and slag off some thing that you
- chose to read even though we warned people like you not to read the article.
- This reminds me of the time that two old ladies went up to Doctor Johnson,
- who for the less educated was the writer of the first dictionary, and
- congratualted him on not using any rude words in the book. And he replied
- to them:
-
- "And how, do you know?"
-
- Evidently they had been looking for them. Finally do not threaten me with
- "I won't get Page anymore". Good! It's your loss. Any way I don't want
- you to get Page anymore, you are not allowed to be part of our group. I
- have taken your name off the users file and you are banned from it. I don't
- want cocky little turds like you reading our magazine. We have plenty
- of satisfied readers and Baz & Arnie are two people I know and are cool
- guys, and they say what they feel, and since this is free... Go and get
- something like PC User if you want a boring, sad, and pathetic read. You
- sad, SAD thing.
-
-
- ON THE OTHER HAND!
-
- Hi Dan,
-
- Just a quick note to let you know that Page is really great and I think Baz
- & Arnie really lighten up the place. Well done!
- P.S. Oh and thanks for the help on the game last issue.
- ANDREW STEPHENSON, DARLINGTON
-
- Dan says...
-
- You're becoming a bit of a regular now aren't you Andy. Well thanks a lot
- for you letter. It makes a change to hear from some one with some taste not
- like those sad gits like the letter above yours. And about the game, don't
- mention it, we will help anyone who needs help on a game if we can. Drop us
- a line then check out Micro-Tips. See ya!
-
-
- OOH MIKE!
-
- Dan,
-
- OOhhhhh! I think that Mike has the most sexy, wonderful writing style ever.
- And I hope he is OK in hospital. Pass this on, and this letter for Baz &
- Arnie. Thanx
- JEAN HEFFAN, STOCKTON
-
-
- MORE THING IS SHIT!
-
- Dear Dan The Man,
-
- The more thing that you used last disk was shit. Please go back to PPMore
- or use my best one, Much-More. I have enclosed a disk with it on and I
- expect you to use it. NOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!
- GEORGE DEFFER, GATESHEAD
-
- Dan says...
-
- Oooooohhhh! Scary! I have been experimenting with diferent
- text viewers to find out which one is the best. Much-More isn't one of my
- best viewers so I have gone back to PPMORE.
-
-
- AMIGAS RUUUUULLLLEEEEE!!!
-
- Dear Mr Woo (uuuh? - DAN)
-
- I have been an avid reader of Page since issue 1 and I think it is great.
- Just one note about the ideal word processor you asked about. Well
- the Amiga rules so how about a built in game to play whilst wating
- for it to print out. Also we would like support for colour prining
- and different tunes to be played in the back ground whilst working.
- GEMMA BLACKBURN, MIDDLESBROUGH
-
- Dan says...
-
- Well I just put a CD on in the background on Workbench using the PD program
- CD-PLAY when writing articles for Page. I have to use the 1.3 A500
- with the A570 which is quite good. As for the other suggestions,
- thanks, I will pass your ideas on to Digita. Have a free copy of
- Amiga Pengo Game.
-
-
- I LOVE PENGO!!
-
- Hey Danny Boy!
-
- How about sending me a copy of Amiga Pengo for free?!
- JIM SEYMAN, DARLINGTON
-
- Dan says...
-
- Send me a disk and an SAE and I'll gladly send you a copy. Big demand
- for this game eh?

- STAR LETTER
-
- FREE COPY OF AMIGA PAGE WINNER!
-
- Dear Daniel,
-
- I have owned an Amiga since the A1000 came out in 1985 and now I own a
- 8M A3000T and a BJ600 Colour Bubblejet printer from Canon. I love
- my system and have just upgraded to Workbench/Kickstart 3.1. What
- I want to know is why isn't the Amiga used in offices and printing
- places. It is every bit as capable as the PC and it is
- a much better system. Workbench is a real dream and Windows is
- really poor. I prefer the WIMP system on the Apple Lisa to Windows
- personally and that is not that good. On Windows you have to install
- everything on Hard Drive which means the PC cannot be run from floppy
- where as there are loads of packages that can be run from floppy on
- the Amiga. And the Amiga is so great as everything can be
- controlled by the Workbench. On Windows if you insert a disk do you
- think it comes up as a little Icon on the window and then you
- can access everything on it? NO! You have to go into DOS and
- read the disk then install it and go back into the slow loading
- Windows system and click a couple of pretty Icons and then
- it quits and goes back into DOS to load it up. The Amiga does
- away with all this by making the Workbench system and the CLI system
- totally interactive. The PC owners deserve that pile of steaming
- horse crap, if that's all they can see don't let them have
- the pleasures of a totally multi-tasking and interactive plus
- user friendly operating system.

-
- LOONY TUNES!
-
- Dear Daniel,
-
- I am just writing to you to let you know that I think that your
- new theme tune is great. I have kept it on all the way through reading
- Page and I want to put it on tape and use it on my hospital radio
- show in Middlesbrough. I was just wondering if you would allow me to
- do this. Also I bought the PD Vol II and I think that song number
- 2 is slightly better than the one that you chose, but never mind.
- I love them both. They rave!
- SAMANTHA MITCHINSON, MIDDLESBROUGH
-
- Dan says...
-
- Sure. Go ahead and use our song if you want. The songs name by
- the way is Echoing just for reference. If you want the address
- of the creator then load it into Protracker of some thing
- else like that and check out the sample names. The songs are all
- PD so you can do with them what you please.
-
-
- COMMODORE'S DEAD TOY , VISITING.. it?! (God! :-\ RICK)
-
- Dan,
- I know I should really have sent this to Rick (WHY 8-O - DAN!!!!!!)
- because it concerns the CDTV. Also I wasnt really sure where
- it will go in Page so I just say this. I have recently spilled
- a cup of orange juice over my A570 CD drive. It was a pure foolish
- accident and I was wondering if my warranty will cover this. If not
- is there anyway it could be repaired?
- GEORGE WILSON, LINGDALE
-
- Dan says...
-
- NO!!! There is absolutely no way your warranty will cover this now.
- But if you have house insurance then this might. Just say that you
- have accidently damaged a peice of computer equiptment. They will
- give you the money. This happened to a mate of mine and funnily
- enough they didn't even come round to check :'-). But I doubt that
- you wil be able to find another A570. I have rang around almost every
- computer shop I know and they don't have any, mail order companies also
- are out of stock. I bought Silicas last one. Sorry!
-
-
-
- CRAP QUESTIONS
-
- Dan,
- Do you know what computer (PD) game has been released recently that
- is on a movie. YOU BETTER GET IT RIGHT.
- Some One Trendy, Somewhere
-
- Dan says...
- Come on! What kind of name is Trendy when you sound very sad writing to me
- asking me questions like that! I don't have a clue what you are talking
- about either? Maybe TRON the PD game? I haven't a clue, write again
- and give me more info,
-
-
- SEX, WHHOOOOO
-
- Dan,
-
- In last disks Startup it said that us North-East people
- are supposed to get the most sex in the country. Well if that is
- true I'd hate to live in the south!
- BOB DAVIES, WHITBY
-
-
- ROBBERS!!!!
-
- Mr Daniel Wood,
- PIRATES ARE NOT GREEDY. IT IS THOSE GREEDY BASTA*DS
- WHO CALL THEM SELVES SOFTWARE COMPANIES. BRING DOWN THEIR BLOODY
- STUPID PRICES AND WE WILL BUY.
- ANON, EAGLESCLIFFE
-
- Dan says...
-
- Do not press so hard on the paper anon. Right, and finally today....
- PETER!!!
-
- HELLO AGAIN SWEETIES!!
-
- Danny Boy,
- How ya doing. I know how much you hate me to death (No I don't -
- I hate you more than that! :-) - DAN). Well I'm back. I want a cheat
- for the Jemsoft game GOBLIN PROBLEM on the C+4. I wrote last disk
- to ask for the SpaceIII cheat on the Speccy which I have been asking
- for since 1982!!! You finally gave it to me so now I want this one, and
- if you don't give me it I will write in every issue (again :-( - DAN)
- until you give me it!!! See ya around! Still got those AmigaTRECK
- articles?

- nyyya nyyyyaaaaaaa! How did you find me again? I didn't do it
- ya know! Well to shut you up for a while I have dug out the AMIGATREK
- series, and have had a few chuckles reading this 6 part series. Good
- idea, what a night that was... eeeeh! Bye!
-
-
- HOW MUCH MORE?
-
- Dear Dan,
- Why the constant change of Text Viewers in Page? It gets on
- my nerves. We just get used to one viewer and it's method of viewing,
- then you go and change it to another one entirely. Stick to MuchMore,
- I like it.
- BETTY ELLIOT, COWDEN
-
- Dan says...
-
- We are experimenting with different text viewers to see which one is
- the easiest to use and which takes up the least disk space. We used
- PPMORE for the first few issues, but this has a lot of features like
- print which cannot be used from Page anyway, and it uses the Powerpacker
- library and our files are no longer powerpacked (can't be arsed to do it)
- so it only takes up more room. We now are trying LESS which is a very
- small (5K) viewer and has only up, down and quit. All text viewers
- basically have the same system anyway thick head, you press space
- for more and the backspace key for the previous page. Much More
- is bigger than PMORE, and the crappy control system does my head in,
- pressing the mouse is no good, and it opens it's own screen. I think
- we will stick to LESS from now on.
-

- And that's it. Write to me now to be in the next issue:

- my name on the envelope but his on the letter inside. Here he is..
-
-
- Hello Everyone! How are you? Well we can have a great gossip next
- disk, write to me about whatever you bloody well want! Dan will

-

-
- Rick- Yes, well ahem! I'd rather be in front of my Amiga thank
- you very much! (oooh I've upset him now! ;-) - DAN, YESSSS!) Silly

- where I will chat with you more. Bye bye! By the way we have a new
- addition to the team next ish, Nick is joining, so we will Nick and Rick
