- solved because I have written a 'small' and quick program that will

- WHAT AMIGA SHOPPER WROTE ABOUT THE ANCESTOR OF DaLastAlert 3
-
- Amiga Shopper wrote the following about LastAlert2 in issue 46
- (February 1995):
-
- ----------
-
- From Subscripers coverdisk description:
-
- "LastAlert2 is very useful utility indeed. It will tell you the
- Guru number of your machine after it has crashed. Once the folder has
- been unarchived double-click on the install icon and the files will be
- copied to the appropriate directories. By default LastAlert2 will be
- copied to your WBStartup drawer. This means that if you machine crashes
- the program will be run as soon as the machine resets. It will produce
- a requester that informs of number the offending Guru."
-
- ----------
-
- From inside the magazine on page 78:
-
- "If there is one thing that is guaranteed to turn even the most sane
- Amiga-user into to an irrational, salivating wild beast it's a system
- crash. When this happens it's a good idea to make a note of the guru
- number that is flashed on screen. Unfortunately the average human is
- unlikely to be in a state of mind that will facilitate the execution of
- such a complex action. During these moments of debilitating rage you
- will certainly benefit from a program like LastAlert2.
-
- LastAlert2 is a Wb2+ program that will record the last message
- displayed by you machine. This will give you the opportunity to take
- note of this number while you are in a more... chemically balanced
- state-of-mind."
