DISKOVERY: Nine Blocks of Nebulous Noodling
by Fender Tucker
I've got nine blocks or less to tell you what's on my mind. Hey, no
problem! Let's see, on Side Two of this issue we have the final
installment of DAVE'S TERM 128, five online games, including pinochle and
Tetris. David Jansen, the creator of DT128, probably won't be sending any
more modules for it, but if any of you follow Don Graham's lead and produce
a DT128 "byproduct", by all means send it to me.
According to my pessimistic ramblings of a few issues back, LS 128 #32
was looking like it may be the last LOADSTAR Quarterly, but thanks to an
influx of good programs lately, we plan to hang around for a few more
quarters. For LS 128 #32 I've got a great musical program by John
Serafino, and a stock market portfolio program by John Locke of Medford
OR.
At this point I'd like to thank Bob Markland of Gillette WY for all the
help he has given me on this issue. He's a dedicated 8-bitter and has
volunteered to take some of the weight that falls upon my shoulders every
three months. LOADSTAR 128 deserves its own firebrand and Bob is the
perfect guy for it. You'll be seeing more from him in the future -- and
loving every minute of it.
But even though #32 is looking pretty good, I would feel a lot better
if I had more "little" programs. For the past few issues we've been
publishing these huge do-it-all programs -- which is fine -- but I'm ready
for an issue full of lots of things, even if they are specific for just
certain users or only handle one task. Aren't you?
I'm also interested in reviews of 128 software that's still available.
And what's with John Brown of Parsec and Twin Cities 128? He's mad at Jeff
Jones so he won't communicate with us or send us any copies of TC128, but
if there's anything newsworthy coming from JB that the rest of our readers
might want to know, let me know about it. Politics. Don't you just love
it?
