Welcome to Issue 6 of Channel Z !!
Yep thats right Issue 6 !!! We've actually made it to 12 months
of Channel Z !!!
Although, I can't really say that we are a year old!
No, next Issue (7) we become a whole year older! as the first issue
was out on September 1st 1993 (God it does'nt seem that long ago!
Well, this Issue was yet again late at getting to those that wanted
it! Not my fault though, My Disk Drive died, then my HardDrive
crashed, and then to top the lot my Video Chips went down !!!!
I've had a fun couple of Months, I think not!!!!!
-----------------------------------------
Ok, here goes with the usual Greetz and thanx!
Thanx go out to.....
AMIGA FORMAT - For the little advert that they put in for me!
the response from that advert was amazing!
Thanks lads! its good to see you supporting
our tiny (compared to yours) Magazine!
CU AMIGA - Why am I thanking you for continuously saying that
Channel Z lacks in the Editorial department?
God this magazine is'nt Grapevine you know!
After a lengthy survey I listened to what the readers
wanted and they wanted loads of Utilities and Pictures
and stuff, with a few nice stories, articles etc.
I, like you yourselves, want to keep my readers happy,
so I will put the mag out in a format that they like!
So, come on! Give me a break and write a review of
this Magazine that is deserving of the style and
content, and NOT of because it is'nt as big as
Grapevine!
SHANE - For being a constant Headache !
PAUL B - Ok, the jokes have finished now, Paul is NOT a Mental
Patient from North Park Mental Hospital, nor is he a
pain in the backside!
What he really is is a complete pain in the backside
and a patient from WEST Park Mental Hospital.
PAUL H - Thanks for your continued support over the past year!
Keep those articles coming in, (Ive decided to keep
on going!!!!!!)
M.I.M.IV Thanks for the help when things started looking bad!
Thanks also for all the people who wrote in after they saw the advert
in AMIGA FORMAT! I've written back to each and every one of you and
am looking forward to adding your contributions to future issues of
the Mag !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Greetz go out to............

I'm sure by now you have all heard of Commodores financial troubles,
Dont worry! is the message from Commodore though as their British
base is as strong as ever and the Amiga name will NOT die.
Without worrying you though, if this is the case, WHY did Commodore
sell its entire stock of A1200's to Dixons at stupid prices?
I hope to god Commodore don't go down though, Ive had a Commodore
machine in one form or another since the good old Vic-20.
Samsung seem to be interested in buying out Commodore if they do go
down though!
So all is not lost either way!!!!!
---------------------
Good news comes from Datel Electronics this month. I got a letter from
Datel Electronics the other morning and they have promised that they
are developing an Action Replay for the A1200 that should be with us
soon!!!!!
Hooray for third party developers! The Amiga may be dying (NOT!)
but they won't stop developing for it !!
On a lighter note, I've been getting postcards from people from all
parts of the World lately so, if you live somewhere nice (or even
if you don't), send me a postcard, and I'll send you one back from
good old Sunny (Ha!) Blackpool, with a nice big picture of the
PEPSI MAX BIG ONE RIDE on it! (You know, the one that keeps breaking
down and crashing!)
I've been on the ride and I must say it is well worth it!
I have been in contact with a fair amount of readers over the past
few weeks and must say that you should be looking out in the PD world
for some great new Games and utilities that should be surfacing soon!
Thats all I'm saying just now, so keep reading to find out more!
