- GREMS -- Have you ever considered putting together a weekly/bi-weekly/
- monthly compilation of magazine comments/reviews about the Amiga? This
- would be very much liked by a lot of people I would guess.
-
- Just start asking people to send you stuff, and I am sure it will come.
- Might want to have a way of verifying information, or having two sections
- in it... one for verified content, and one section for stuff that could
- be incorrect. Hey, get people to fax the article(s) to you. That would
- be adequate verification for most items. Including the magazine and issue
- number along with page(s) would be nice too. Just a nice thought.
-
- We could also get a running total going of which mags (as far as the
- records would show) are acknowledging the Amiga, and which are not.
-
- This sounds like a great idea! You seem to always be posting tid-bits
- anyhow. Does this sound like something you would be willing to put a
- little more time to and make it something bigger?
-
- You could have your piece included in the Amiga Reports possibly. Which
- means that you could release it bi-weekly. Sounds rather 'fun' and
- like it could be a popular thing for you to do.
-
- Okay, enough from me. I would obviously like to see it happen...
