- WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT US?
- THE READERS VOICE
- ----------------------------------------------------- ---- -- --- --- --- ----

- voice from: Ear_X / FUN industries (.nl)
-
- I told ya it ruled :) Not as many articles as maggie/ucm, but no_bullshit,
- great shell and informative stuff! Well.. maybe only the font, it's a bit
- small. For the rest I think I don't have any criticism!. Well the interviews
- are of good quality of all mags including Chosneck (did i get the name right,
- don't kick me ;))
-
- The content is pretty teenage like, but that's the whole point of the scene,
- it's just a bunch of crazy wacky kids =)) They were pretty good I liked the
- way Sqward and you were talking, Sqward has a coding grandma? :)
-
- (...) so you're continuing the mag?!? gr8!!! =) it'll rule.
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- editor: hum! thanx for laures, Pieter. it's cool to read such words esp. when
- you start with a new project like this one! it wasn't the easy choice
- to start with new magazine. since this issue I have to try to keep
- it alive as long as possible even without any support of readers.
- I hope I will manage it! and yup, we know about this font thingy
- you mentioned! the fonts we used previously were simply unreadable
- on RGB mode, i experienced that on my own skin.. I hope you like the
- 1st REAL issue of "Chosneck". happy readin'!

- (...) I just forgot to tell you that Joe has shown me "Edge.." on his falcon
- some days ago, and I must say.. really cool stuff to spent some hours with!
- Of course i didnt manage to check out all the articles yet, I will do that if
- I have got those 12 mb :) However, it seems to be a really fat production with
- a scenish apperance, in my eyes. And personally, I of course would like to see
- a follower of it. Maybe with a little bit bigger font or so. But the style of
- writing was nicely positive and not the usual "i am suffering so much" - stuff
- we can read here and there.
-
- So.. keep it going (whatever it might be:)
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- editor: Vielen dank Nils! In fact the 1st issue of Chosneck wasn't the real
- one. It had number "zero" which was meant as a preview of the thing
- we are preparing. If you read these words then you'll see the result!
- I am still trying to keep the contents being positive. Simply,
- I don't see any need for never ending complaints - it won't help
- anyone! I am not scared to to call anything BAD or simply DULL and if
- something like this shows up - we will surely write about this
- somewhere in the mag! meantime thanx for your nice words about our
- new babe! hope to see any contributions from you in the future!

-
- I've downloaded your new diskmagazine on DHS site. That's a good idea because
- ST Survivor told me last week he didn't want to work for Alive! anymore. So,
- there is at least one diskmag for Atari now :-)
-
- Just one thing: 7 MB it's really big, do you plan to include such big sound-
- tracks for the next times ??
-
- Keep up the good work, for the next issue.
-
- See ya !
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- editor: eheh, man! what a huge music-selector we had in the "0" issue! surely
- beat everyone released so far :)) 9 modules with photos to choose....
- BEAT DIS! 8-)) ha, in fact this magazine was the little sticker to
- the huge (in size) msx-colly! :)) but nice that you like the mag and
- i hope it didn't change after THIS issue! STay QL!

- voice from: CiH / Maggie Team (.uk)
-
- Okay some small (constructive) criticisms of the diskmag part :)
-
- The fact that is small in relation to, say, Maggie, and the limited spread of
- topics, you covered yourself. I'm sure the first proper issue will have more
- reviews and general material. The interviews reminded me a lot of the early
- days of Maggie, the Sammy Joe era, with a lot of the comments made in them ;-)
-
- I am not sure if you are doing this from a purely Polish scene perspective, as
- I have a feeling that the available material will run dry quickly? So I assume
- you are going for a broader based approach, covering German, Swedish, French
- scenes etc?
-
- The shell next....
-
- Just out of interest, out of the 7 mbytes, how much of it was music compil,
- and how much was diskmag ? I would guess that the file sizes will come down
- drastically if you are doing more issues in future!?
-
- I've no problem with a hi-res text displayer, but a *slightly* bigger font
- would be nice :)))
-
- And I thought the shell was very professional looking, perhaps a little bit
- sparse, but that is down to personal preferences. I would say the diskmag has
- a lot of potential, and I wish you all the best.
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- editor: Yeah, you are right Chris! But please keep in mind it was only the
- STICKER to the "Abyss", not the real issue which would compete with
- all the others! As I wrote in the editor's note, we knew about all
- the shortfalls and we promised to make it up! I am a bit reluctant
- to review any scene-products simply 'coz I wouldn't like to be blamed
- after that. I am not a coder, grapician or musician so reviews of all
- intros/demos should be made by other MSB members for example! But
- thanx for your nice words and I count on your co-operation in any
- form in the future!

- The idea with the diskmag is great. I hope there will be more. The only thing
- I didn't like too much was the long depacking time - especially when you are
- reading an article and want to change the music. Maybe the handling can be
- improved... The design is great!
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- editor: Argh, it seems that these fonts really sucked ;) But as You can see
- Norman we used bigger ones this time. And yup, this depacking was a
- bit annoying and it's been solved this time I hope? Also the music
- selector is easier to handle now! We perform Your wishes :) Thanx for
- the nice words about design and I hope You like the current issue as
- well!
