Last month the talking point was simply this:
WHAT DO YOU THINK THE LETTERS 'ST' SHOULD STAND FOR?
Well, it seems that the ease of the talking point that only required a few
words appealed to you because I had more contributions for the column than
I've ever had before. Because of the simplicity of the subject this month,
I will stick in a few more contributions than I usually do.
Right, well here's a pick of the many letters I got on this subject...
############################################################################
Dear POWER,
The letters ST should stand for SUPER TERMITE. There's no reason
for that but it's got a nice ring to it.
From Coot
POWER REPLIES:
Always start off with a serious contribution, that's what I say!
############################################################################
Dear POWER,
ST should stand for Sensible Type because that's what the ST is, a
sensible computer for sensible people.
From Robert Currin
POWER REPLIES:
Since when have I been sensible? Waaaaaaa!
############################################################################
Dear POWER,
I think that ST should stand for Silly Tosser (pardon my French)
because that's what Sam Traimel is!
From Part Deux
############################################################################
Dear POWER,
I think ST should stand for PC Beater.
From Fat Bloke Down The Pub
POWER REPLIES:
There's always one isn't there?!
############################################################################
Dear POWER,
ST should stand for Quack Quack!
From Donald Duck
POWER REPLIES:
There's always two isn't there...
############################################################################
Dear POWER,
I think that the letters 'ST' should be an abbreviation for Super
'Tari.
From Peter Shilling
############################################################################
Dear POWER,
Don't you think that ST should stand for Soddin' Traimel?
From Naughty But Nice
POWER REPLIES:
Possibly.
############################################################################
Dear POWER,
ST should stand for 'Silly place to put the joystick porTs'.
From Stephen Garner
POWER REPLIES:
I'm beginning to think that ST should actually stand for Silly Talking
point!
############################################################################
Dear POWER,
Soggy Turnips is what ST should stand for because I've got two of
them stuck in the grate at the back of my ATARI.
From Mark Hitch
POWER REPLIES:
Strange place for a vegetable patch isn't it?
############################################################################
Dear POWER,
The letters ST stand for Slimy Toad.
Unsigned
POWER REPLIES:
Er, is there any reason behind that?
############################################################################
Dear POWER,
ST should stand for Senile Thursday because senile begins with an
'S' and Thursday begins with a 'T'.
From Justin Crunden
POWER REPLIES:
I really regret doing this Talking Point!
##############################################################################
Dear POWER,
I think that ST should stand for Sure Talent because everyone
involved in the ST scene (yourself included) seems to be incredibly
talented in the computing industry whereas on other formats which I have
been involved in, the talent doesn't really seem to be there as much.
From Tony Lockton
############################################################################
Dear POWER,
I don't know what ST -should- stand for but I know that the
letters ST are my initials.
From Stan Tornto
#############################################################################
Dear POWER,
I think that ST should stand for Seven Thirty because it's only
then when I get to get onto my ST for more than five minutes.
From Chris Hunter
############################################################################
Dear POWER,
In my case, ST stands for Sobert 'Till tonight!
From 3AM
############################################################################
Well, I think that will do for this month. I must be honest and say that I
really regret suggesting that talking point because in my opinion, it was
pretty shite...Oh well...You win some...You lose even more!
To try to regain a bit of respect for this column we're going to have a much
more sensible talking point this month, so...
This months Talking Point is:
WHY DO YOU THINK THE LIKES OF THE P.C. CONTINUE TO BEAT ATARI?
Send in your opinions on the above subject to the normal POWER address and
you may possibly have your view published next month in POWER #21. P.L.
PUBLISHING should be sponsoring Talking Point again next month so there will
be a prize of a commercial game on offer to the most interesting view. And
remember, if you would like to see a certain computer related topic
(preferably ATARI related) discussed here in Talking Point then tell me
about it and I'll see what I can do.
