The Green Eye Shade
-------------------
One subject you'll hear considerable harping about (love those strange
constructs) in this column has to do with what you think of BIG BLUE DISK.
Sometimes we literally must get down on our knees and beg for guidance. But
know that we are here to serve YOU, and not the other way to.
There are other disk magazines out there in PC-land and we intend to
continue to offer the best value, the finest programs, articles and reviews,
and the most advanced presenter (the BIG BLUE DISK operating system from which
you select your menu choices, etc.) around. As we receive more and more
reader feedback, you will find still more improvements in ease of use and
readability.
As we said, though, it is only through effort on YOUR part that we can
achieve these goals, so keep those comments and suggestions rolling in if you
have an interest in directing the future of YOUR magazette.
We promised you a little chat about forthcoming Blue Plate Specials. One
thing we have planned is to offer you a little more variety. Not only will
you have the opportunity to get, at no extra cost, some of the finest
commercial games around, you will also find complete applications like PC
Write in this issue or samplers like last month's educational programs from
Mark Cross.(By the way, you will find a flyer enclosed with this issue of BIG
BLUE DISK offering a special price for PC Write registration and a spell
checker.)
When you open each new issue of BIG BLUE DISK are you sometimes flooded by
reams of paper streaming out at you? This printed material is one way in which
we can say thanks to you for being a BIG BLUE DISK reader by offering discounts
on various products or making you aware of back issue availability, etc. Be
that as it may, you can look forward to receiving all this information and
more in a neat and clutter-free bound pamphlet. Coming soon (as we like to
say) to a BIG BLUE DISK near you.
And Now, the Dessert
--------------------
There are a couple of super features in this issue that we would like to
call your attention to. One is "The Watergate Quiz," a nostalgic trip back to
June, 1972. We've got to admit that as familiar as we were with the whole
scandal, we missed almost half the questions the first time around. Why not
try your luck?
Another feature is Joel Rea's skillful PC adaptation of Glen Bredon's "Laser
Show." Now here is one program that really explores the limits of your PC's
graphic capabilities, to say nothing of some brilliant and unusual displays.
We never really have the space to describe here all of the good entertainment
you can find in BIG BLUE DISK, so why not take a good look at the Table of
Contents to find what turns YOU on the most...
