21 maybe 22 when you read this ( GETTING OLD ANYWAY! )
TOWN ----
¯¯¯¯
Coventry
JOB

Ha ha ha. Surely you jest, why not call me 2,578,675.
NON COMPUTING INTERESTS
-----------------------
Football, good music, beer, looking after my kiddies pets, football,
erm football...oh and football as well. (Oh Jeez, he's nay inta fitba'?)
PREVIOUS POOTERS
----------------
Acorn Electron, Amstrad CPC464, That old Atari console thing 2400
or something, and of course the obligatory Speccy.
CURRENT POOTER
--------------
A battered, beaten, worn, but still alive 520STFM upgraded to 1 meg.
UVVA HARDWARE
-------------
Stereo master sampling cartridge,
Star LC200 colour printer ( without colour ribbon ),
Smart One 2400 modem (for sale or swap),
3 Dodgy joysticks,
2 Dusty mice,
and a partridge in a pear tree.
WHAT DO I DO WITH IT?
---------------------
Keeping in touch with other users, wordprocessing, art, the rare
game, and the frequent but pathetic attempt at programming with
STOS.
TOP APPLICATIONS SOFTWARE
-------------------------
STOS ( simple yet powerful ),
First Word ( no piggin command line crap),
Knife ST ( a lifesaver ),
Degas Elite ( old, not brilliant, but still one of the easiest to
use, with a picture format accepted in virtually every other
art package).
TOP ENTERTAINMENT SOFTWARE
--------------------------
Kick off 2 (the best footy game ever),
Archer Macleans Pool (the most realistic pool sim yet),
Lemmings(could've been the game of all time if it had been harder)
TOP P.D / SHAREWARE
-------------------
F-copy 3 (THE p.d. copier)
Llamatron(weird but still good)
STOSSER/STEN (two great 'zines)
HARDWARE TURKEYS
----------------
STFM joystick port (why oh why oh why),
MEGA STE 2 (oh dear, another one bites the dust),
COMMODORE CDTV (ha ha..we won't laugh will we)
SOFTWARE TURKEYS
----------------
Disney educational stuff (crap of the highest order),
Power Drift (nuff said),
Outrun (either),(if you've got one you'll know),
Terminator 2 (Yet another crap film licence by ..ahem)
The list goes on..............(unfortunately).
The play-testers for all the above games should be dragged into
the courtyard and shot.
WHATS GOOD ABOUT THE ST WORLD
-----------------------------
The general friendliness among its users, although I quickly got
the impression that some demo coders appear to dislike each other.
And the general versatility of the machine.
WHATS BAD ABOUT THE ST WORLD
----------------------------
Let's avoid the usual dig at Atari's marketing techniques and go
for someone else's throat instead......erm..how about all those
software houses, who's programmers never seem to take advantage of
the STE's enhanced features (even if I haven't got one), and the
houses who continually turn out complete crap, expect us to buy
it, moan when we don't, and then refuse to convert good games. If
you guys reckon good games won't sell, why not look at Lemmings,
Sensible Soccer and Kick Off 2. Make a GOOD game and it will sell
someone should tell OCEAN that a big film licence does not a good
game make.
FIRST ARTICLE IN STEN
---------------------
Cancer appeal in issue 14's Billboard. ( if you could call that an
article ).
WHAT COMPUTERS PERIPHERALS WOULD YOU BUY (£1,000 MAX)
-----------------------------------------------------
A Falcon (what did you expect me to say)
WHAT COMPUTERS/PERIPHERALS WOULD YOU BUY WITH UNLIMITED DOSH
------------------------------------------------------------
The above, with as many goodies as I could possibly get hold of
for it.
A virtual reality machine for my living room.
10,000 SEGAs and NINTENDOs so I could smash 'em up.
A laser printer.
and on, and on , and on, and on.
RECOMMENDED BOOKS
-----------------
Cyberspace by William Gibson
Dune by Frank Herbert
Anything by Isaac Asimov or Sven Hassel
BOOKS TO AVOID
--------------
Mills and Boon stuff
Murder/ Mysteries (i.e the butler did it)
RECOMMENDED MUSIC
-----------------
Faith No More, R.E.M, Altern 8, Peter Gabriel, The Orb.
MUSIC TO AVOID

Almost anything not mentioned above, especially that ITSY BITSY
thing by that Timmy Mallett twat.
RECOMMENDED T.V/ FILMS
----------------------
STARDATE 678.4 (or STAR TREK)
Spitting Image, Red Dwarf,
Anything with John Cleese in,
DUNE,
Star Wars.
FILMS/ T.V TO AVOID
-------------------
Nearly everything not mentioned above ( not quite though ), but I
absolutely detest those daytime chat shows, i.e Good Snoring With
Anne and Nick. There's way too much news, I hate the Karate Kid
films, and I hate those so called intellectual foreign films with
subtitles. Nowhere near enough good comedy on telly.

---------------
BITTER, NEWKY, SOUTHERN COMFORT
DRINK WHAT???!!!

ADVOCAAT, PERNOD, TAB (cat's pee).
WHAT WOULD I DO WITH UNLIMITED DOSH (NO POOTER STUFF)
-----------------------------------------------------
Find a cure for cancer, buy Coventry City then do a Jack Walker
and buy them success, buy a whopping great big lasagne and a
brewery, then eat and drink myself stupid.
FREE FOR ALL (witter on about nothing)
--------------------------------------
Nah, it's alright, I'll spare you from that, anyone got any
comments or insults to throw at me about the above.
