- This issue of LOADSTAR 128 seemed to be cursed from the very beginning.
- Programs that were slated developed fatal problems and even the replacement
- programs were prone to having their text files disappear from disks. The
- final straw was Managing Editor Bob Markland's getting bit on the nose by a
- rattlesnake. Well, actually, it was one of Bob's wife's horses that got bit
- on the nose, but the effect was the same: disaster.
-
- The good news is that Bob Pellegrino, a master programmer from the old
- days, is back in touch with the Tower and has threatened to deliver one of
- his excellent programs for each of the 1999 issues. We're not accepting any
- subscriptions past #42 but if you are a true 128 fan (and I think you are)
- you will not want to miss the final year of the 20th Century as chronicled
- on LOADSTAR 128.
-
- Another bit of good news is Maurice Randall's WHEELS 128, which is
- supposed to be unveiled at the Chicago Expo on October 24th. I'm planning
- on driving up to Lansing IL for the show and will report on it on LOADSTAR
- #173 and LOADSTAR 128 #39. Our world hasn't had a "major" show in years and
- I'm looking forward to the spectacle. Maybe WHEELS 128 will inspire some
- 128-mode Geos activity for 1999 on LOADSTAR 128?
-
- There is a wonderful feeling of freedom that comes from the knowledge
- that oblivion is certain, but not imminent. I always felt that LOADSTAR 128
- was the "serious" LOADSTAR but what's to stop us from having fun as we
- await the millenium? In the words of the wise men from Liverpool: Oh that
- magic feeling, nowhere to go.
