#Game Debate
Message #286
I was disappointed in the Bard's Tale II clue book–too detailed. The BT I clue book left something up to the player, but this new one comes complete with numbers. Not much to solve. As to the mindless hack and slash character of Bard's Tale, I can tell you exactly…
writer needs interviewee
Message #126240
Dear Fellow Work-at-homes: I've been assigned to locate and interview someone who decided to work at home to spend more time with family. My editor prefers a male, since females are generally perceived as being more likely to work at home for family reasons. We'd like to show that interest…

#Best Pascal to buy
Message #126234
I'm interested in teaching my 11- and 13-year-olds to program in Pascal. I took a class in Pascal last summer, and the textbook we used was terrible. Can anyone recommend a good one? It doesn't have to be for children, I can adapt it. But I'd rather not set up…

Say, does anyone know how to cool off an asteroid? And do we need to? Please send answers to our email box, since we often miss answers in the forum by signing on irregularly. (Do they get stored in some data library somewhere where we could dig them out?) Sincerely,…

Message #50944
To whomever was wondering about the one-way doors: they are not mistakes, they are one-way doors. Now. Could someone please email to me the answer to the following problem, since this forum moves too fast for me and I always sign on after my answers have gone somewhere else that…

The mail is 100-0 in favor of the dealership giving me a new computer. I even took in some sample comments, and the salesperson agrees. What the owner of the store will say is another story. Thanks, Tan

writer needs advice
Message #34550
do you have a suggestion on the database? Actually, though, this article is supposed to be at the very basic level, so Mi Amiga File may be fine anyway. Thanks, Tan

amiga won't work
Message #34547
thanks, that's good advice. I have let them know I am strongly considering insisting on either a new machine or my money back, and they keep saying CBM won't "swap it out" for them. However, the salesman is a friend of mine, and I think he will do what he…

Thank you for your reassurance. Right now my machine is at the repair shop, and will be "at least until Monday." I'm not familiar with standard dealer policiy regarding the Amiga. Should the dealer just give me a new machine instead of insisting I have this one repaired? Does the…

Allen, Thanks for your reply–but don't scold me for bad behavior around the computer. I didn't flash it off and on. It crashed in the middle of the Electronic Arts demo that came with the computer, and the keyboard was frozen so I couldn't do a Ctrl-A-A reset. I gave…

writer needs information
Message #32603
I am writing an article for new computer users intended to help them to build a useful and not too expensive basic home software library. Can you offer suggestions for good Amiga software? I'm trying to cover the following categories: word processing, data base, spreadsheet, graphics, music, game, and educational.…
