Welcome back! It's time to sit down, fire up the PC, and delve into
another issue of Big Blue Disk. If you have been with us the last couple
of months, you know that BBD has been going through a period of growth. We
have created a new product (PC BusinessDisk), announced the availability of
Big Blue Disk in 1.2 Meg floppy disk format, and increased the recommended
memory requirements to 512K. This month's Diskovery column may seem a little
anticlimatic after the pyrotechnics of the last few issues, but I have
nothing new to report!
The Big Blue Disk staff and I have worked very hard preparing this issue.
Recently, we have had numerous requests for a program that would assist in
composing music on a PC. I try to fulfill these requests whenever possible.
Make-A-Melody includes numerous features which can be used to explore the
musical capabilities of your computer system. Play-A-Melody, a jukebox for
Make-A-Melody tunes, allows you to select one or more songs and play them back
in any order. Both programs should provide many hours of entertainment.
The number of computer users that have a hard disk in their PC seems
to be increasing by leaps and bounds. To help you make a more informed
software purchase, this month's product spotlight is on Magellan by Lotus.
An information navigator, Magellan will help you Find, View, and Use data
stored on your hard drive more effectively. Limited only by the number of
times it can be run, this version of Magellan allows you complete access
to all features.
I have managed to do it again! Every month, I worry whether or not I
have enough material to fill an issue. As usual I will have to break out
the disk stretcher (similar to the shelf stretcher you find in most retail
stores) to get everything to fit!
Have a great month and keep sending those cards and letters!
