Thanks Tom. Our intention is to keep improving, and we will get deeper into subjects with each issue. We expect readers with a range of experience on different cpu's as well as actual DTV/multimedia experience. Our articles will cover various levels of expertise, as well as offering informaton on existing products. For many readers product information – i.e., reviews and evaluations, will be of paramount info. Those folks already know what they want to do but need to know what tools are available. Searching through platform specific books for the occasional DTV or multimedia article just isn't enough – and that's where DTV World comes in. I also agree with you about peripherals. Staorage and processor upgrades are as important as the rest. We will cover such topics, but since those can and are generally covered in the regular mags, it isn't quite as pressing as some other topics. Keep up the feedback! Lou

Thanx for the Preview on next issue.And My Company name ALWAYS gets Mispelled,don't feel bad.For some reason People have it in their minds that their HAS to be a U in Midgard so they ASSUME I speeled MY companies name incorrectly.If they were of Norse Decent they probably wouldn't make this mistake.BTW this is NOT how ya'll mispelled the name.No big deal about it tho,I just find it funny. BTW As another Request for a Story/Review how about some of those lovely RECORDABLE CD's machines for devoloping CDTV,CD-i and other CD based interactive software or EVEN just for releasing CD 's of Images al Texture City.I'm VERY interested in this myself and got some info a while back from A/Video mags user service cards on a Company that does it.Unfortunately the name of the Company escapes me at the moment.

I think I wan't clear on what I meant Lou.I meant I wanted to Create MY OWN CDROM's of Images for Distribution.After all once you have the MASTER Duplication is Relatively inexpensive. I think the company I mentioned that made distrbuted the CDRom Authoring Software and Recordable CD was named ABCD-I

I haven't seen your magazine yet but from the comments you are getting here it looks like a winner. Well there was someone in one of the Graphics forums (IBM mostly) that was looking for a Video magazine that covered different platforms, of course I steered him to your magazine. I have seen some magazine that cover the high-end video platforms but it is refreshing to know that someone is filling the void with coverage of the more common (don't call it `low-end') platforms. I wish your magazine a good future. <<< Tony D. Tracer >>>
