WELCOME
Hello! Welcome to the first issue of the new look, new relaunched
RIPMAG! We're back, after a break for a year, and finally ready to
face the Amiga scene with a new look, and a new style! Oh yes.
First of all, RIPMAG is an AMIGA only magazine, but doesn't only
cover computer related subjects. I know what a pain it is to get some
reader involvement, but come on people, anything at all, let's make
RIPMAG wonderful. Well it's certainly here to stay, and we hope it will
become a two monthly release (ooh big promises), but no fixed deadlines yet, I
want to see how long it actually takes to put this magazine together, as
well as another mag I'm working on, but two monthly seems VERY likely.
When I was putting together the system to use for RIPMAG, I did have a
great file system where you select files using the mouse and they are
displayed in a professional window, etc... BUT it only works with 10
articles! So that sadly was no good, only after I'd put it all together,
done all the graphics, THEN realised it didn't work. Sooo, you're stuck
with "Selector" until I can find something better. And MMPP (which makes
us look a bit too much like our sister mag for my liking, but never mind),
but the quality of the magazine is in the articles, not the look I guess.
That said, I don't reckon it looks too bad, it's ok.
Hopefully when this gets onto the AMIGA WEB DIRECTORY, hundreds of millions
of Amiga owners will download it (yeah right!), but hopefully a fair few
will check it out. SO if your a musician, and have made a standard MOD file
that is quite short (less than 250K if poss!) then why not send it to us to
go in the back ground for an issue? We'll feature a different PD tune each
issue, and it's a good way to send a tune and get it heard.
Okay, that's all from me for this issue, have a look what we have on offer
so far, don't worry, things can hopefully get better, and the mag will
feature more articles in coming issues, this is just a taster, issue one.
Keep checking the web site for the release of the next issue.
Best Wishes
