|' Amy PD and Shareware Review will 'hopefully become a useful resource for 'those searching for software within 'the public domain. I intend it to 'remain purely a magazine of reviews &and comment about the Amiga PD world.'I will not be including software on 'the magazine disk and don't intend to 'include advertisements in it in the
foreseeable future.' The magazine is produced almost 'entirely by myself except for the 'music which I will be taking from PD 'music disks until I find the time to 'make some myself - assuming I'm able 'to that is. This is in part an 'experiment in seeing how much one 'person can do with good software and a
great computer.
' The following is a list of the 'hardware and software I have used to &produce this issue of Amy PD Review.'I'm sure I've missed some but even so 'I was still pretty impressed when I
worked it out.
