- This isn't a solution, so I'll post it here.

- I agree, I was in Mansfield today, and I glanced in the Escom shop. I saw the
- A1200 magic pack, "Great" I thought. Then I got closer. Erm, nice purple

- The demo of course needs to be one disk, it needs some fast flying objects cos

- except it's 3mb compressed. I doubt if Escom will like hardcore rave belting

- basic. However it had the right idea, repeating, no pages of greets, fast
- action. Trudge Aminet I suppose.

- If one ever gets picked, there are a couple of Escom shops locally where I can
- ask. If not I'll just put a disk in on my way out :)
