EDITORIAL
Beste lezers,
Op dit moment is het 27 april en het lijkt wel zomer. Temperaturen
rond de 25 graden en veel zon. Op zo'n moment vind ik het moeilijk
om veel tijd aan de computer te spenderen.
Maar het is nu eenmaal mijn werk en dit moet gewoon op tijd worden
ingeleverd. Ik heb deze keer genoten van de nieuwe muziek en zie een
opleving wat betreft muzikale bijdrages aan Newsflash. Op utility
gebied blijft het echter magertjes. Zijn er nog wel goede program-
meurs in Nederland aktief ??
De kloof tussen de oude groep kickstart V1.3 gebruikers en de V2.0
bezitters wordt nu steeds groter. 90% van alle nieuwe utilities die
uitkomen is uitsluitend voor V2.0 of hoger. De consequentie van
dit gebeuren is dat Newsflash ook langzamerhand naar V2.0 zal over-
gaan mbt utilities. Uiteraard blijven muziek en tekst compatible
met Kickstart V1.3.
We zijn weer over gegaan op 3 diskettes ipv 2 ivm de vraag naar de
derde (muziek) disk. U kunt deze disk bijbestellen voor Fl 7.50 +
Fl 2.50 verzendkosten. U kunt ook de complete uitgave via UGA in
Zeist voor Fl 24.95 bestellen.
Intussen heb ook ik een A1200 aangeschaft en ben hier zeer tevreden
mee. Helaas lopen enkele veel gebruikte utilities niet meer (oa
textpaint en jrcomm). Maar ja that's life en ik zal hopelijk weer
snel vervangers vinden.
De snelheid en nieuwe grafische mogelijkheden maken deze machine
tot een waardig opvolger van de A1000/A500. Helaas is de AMIGA in
veel winkels verdwenen en vaak alleen via speciaal winkels te
krijgen. Maar ja we kennen Commodore's marketing beleid intussen.
Jammer maar Atari heeft er nog een grotere puinhoop van gemaakt.
Er ligt een unieke kans voor Commodore om dit gat op te vullen
en marktleider te worden op de entertainment markt. Laten we hopen
dat Commodore Nederland zijn tanden laat zien en de jongeren aan-
spreekt met goede promotie campagnes.
Ik wens u alvast een prettige zomer toe en ik laat in Juli weer van
mij horen op Newsflash uitgave 31.
Enjoy the work of freaks,

Allister Brimble goes CD....
Yes it is sofar. Allister Brimble is the fourth AMIGA musician who
produces his own audio Compact Disc. And the endresult is worth
listening too. If you like instrumental / synthesizer music like
Kitaro, Vangelis etc etc you will enjoy this masterpiece.
The first 5 songs could easily be used in a TV production as
background music for a nice nature journey. And then there is
the studio version of the soundtrack of Team 17's game Project X
also released on Newsflash 29. If you like house listen to this
hifiversion.
I can only say I really like this one and it deserves to be a winner.
Good work Allister.

MAIL
We like to receive mail and suggestions from our readers. I know that
every letter stands for 1000 readers but some feedback would be appri-
ciated. We need some motivation every now and then as well.
Received mail will 100% be answered and interesting letters will be
published in our mail-area in coming issue.
So keep those letters coming.....
The mail this issue:
- = letter
* = answer
- Tatlin from Italy wrote us to tell he likes the new Newsflash but
he misses the artwork.
* To compensate this we will release special artwork disks for the
fans of this type of material.
- Mr S. Oakland did let us know that he really like the new Newsflash
style and hopes we keep up the good work. He was also very in-
terested in our 'Hifi-streamer'.
* We like to thank Mr Oakland for his loyal support of Newsflash
by sending us huge textfiles with summaries of American news.
Ofcourse newsfiles from other countries are still welcome.
The hifi-streamer was sadly a 1-april joke but perhaps we have
started a chain reaction by stimulating real hardware developers.
Let's wait and watch if someone picks up this idea.
