0806Y00C1NThis is the place where you can find out about all the latest news on the
0801NPanda grapevine. This section will be kept regularly updated and fresh with
0801Nthe latest gossip, rumours and factual bits and pieces that the huge Panda
0801Nmonster machine spouts.
0801N
0801NIf you have a story for the Panda news section then send it to me (Jude) via
0801Nthe touch of the email and it'll be in here straight away.

0801NNew members keep on joining the Panda team. The latest prospective member is
0801Na long term friend of the group. His real name is Chris, he loves tantric sex
0801N(yes just like real-life idol Sting) and claims he can maintain a state of
0801Nstiffness for upwards of 14 hours. We're just waiting for a photo and a
0801Nhandle and he'll be a signed up member of the group. Can you wait? You'll
0801Nfind out more here first.
0801N
0801NChris will provide articles for the Zoo and will perform other vital
0801Nteam-bonding tasks in Panda.

0801NThose worried about the Lord Lucan like disapearance of Lord Longford
0801Nlook-a-like Cachet will be comforted to know that he has turned up okay after
0801Nour worries. The Flea claimed it was down to him playing Quake, I myself
0801Nsuspected demons to be at play in the workings. The true explanation, in as
0801Nmuch as it was made up by Cachet, was to proove even more sinister than we
0801Ncould possibly imagine. Cachet writes:
0801N"Sorry I havn`t talked to you for so long and it isn`t because I`ve been
0801Nplaying Quake (more like writing it at the moment - which I have to add is
0801Nbeing done on the AMIGA). The main reason is more to do with my recent
0801Nhospital visit :-) I decided that my left hand had become a little too
0801Ninfected at the place where you burned it so I wandered over to the local
0801Ndoctors. It seems that the burn was made at the crossroads of three veins and
0801Nwas deep enough to let the infection spread "very close" to them. This in
0801Nturn made my hand go "kinda funny" with blotches and stuff, I would have in
0801Nthought it funny but I couldn`t, hmmm.. sort of made it a bugger to write
0801Nthings. SO after a long time they sent me off to get some funny dripping
0801Nstuff that you put on the "area", it sort of hurts a lot and makes a funny
0801Nfizzing sound, its kinda cool :-) So, err, i hope that explains my lack of
0801Ntyping :-) Thanks."

0801NZoo 4 is delayed real bad this time. Now there's a surprise. We might end up
0801Nwith a html version so that others can read it and all. Now that's news.

0801NIt is with grear relief that we say goodbye to Uncle Jack. Although never a
0801Nbig man in the group his compassion and lack of integrity often moved grown
0801Nmen to tears and mountains into mole's holes.
0801N
0801NJack never really got it. He says he wants to leave to "pursue other things"
0801Nnamely his chief intrest himself. Self indulgent and ill-advised to the last
0801NJack will be producing no more for Panda, at least in a proper capacity
0801Nalthough his hare-brained ad-hoc element remains firmly lodged in the group
0801Nmentality.

0801NFishboy said "I felt he was a father figure" "or an uncle", felt Mr. Kevin.
0801N
0801NBye Jack.

0806Y00C6NTrikseR has now joined as an official member of Panda. Introduced to the
0801NPanda gang by commrade Flea he sounds like a really nice person. Here's some
0801Nblurb that The Flea sent us on him:
0801N
0801NTriksteR, also known to his friends as PK, is an ex-Amiga user who is now
0801Nrather attached to his swanky new P120 laptop. He is a young Panda
0801Nprogrammer/3D artist. Since starting to learn to program his knowledge of the
0801Nsubject has raced ahead in much the same way as a snail does. His 3D
0801Nanimations are, however, nothing short of revolutionary, in that they often
0801Ninvolve things revolving around other things.
0801N
0801NHis hobbies include:
0801N
0801NPretending to learn C
0801NWatching "Hackers"
0801NHanging around seedy internet chat boards
0801NMoaning that external CD drives for laptops cost too much
0801NWalking round looking like a "Syndicate" reject

0801NCachet has proposed the following for the future of Panda:
0801N
0801N"what I might suggest is starting a PC division of the group consisting of
0801Nthe same members as we have now but co-poducing some of the stuff on the PC
0801Nas well as the Amiga"
0801N
0801NAlthough Panda will remain commited to the Amiga this seems like a good
0801Nsuggestion in order to keep the group revitalised. The suggestion is
0801Ncurrently under consideration.

0801NPanda's latest game Zunzar (a swift-action bomberman clone coded by Cachet
0801Nwith GFX by Fishboy) has been temporarily delayed. What will happen to it is
0801Na mystery, but until it comes out we've realised these screenshots (see
0801Narticle) to keep you guessing. As you can see it sure looks impressive and
0801Nshould keep fans of the genre happy until the cows and the sheep and the
0801Nhorses come on home to roost.

0801NTwo new members are currently being admitted into the Panda gang.
0801NTrixster/Firehazard is a programmer based in the Liverpool area and we've
0801Nalso heard from another programmer, Arizona Stafford interested in Amiga and
0801NPC programming.
