Sorry Amiga World, Now I subscribe to VTU and DTVW. I kinda miss AW so I'll probably re-subscribe. Nice to see whats going on in the mainstream Amiga apps., but it is kinda thin these days. Support your local Amiga Friends………….. ….John

Erik: I agree with the stape binding, Makes me feel I'm getting less magazine for my money. Maybe they'll extend my subscrition? Naaaah! -Pat "Cruising the North Coast on Autopilot"

It's depressing to see the ad pages go down in gen. Amiga mags like AW (hence the staple binding). Then you look at VTU (tons of ads, perfect binding, going to monthly) and you think, hey, the Amiga (w/toaster anyway) is hot! — Art

Heh, the last time I saw a magazine go to staple binding was the old Antic Magazine (Atari 8-bit) JUST before bit the dust (along with the 8-bits, I daresay!). Yeah, VTU looks great (too bad I don't have a VT!<g>). L8r

Speaking of VTU, I just got my "Lee Stranahans 101 Toaster Tips" Book and 5 Things you can do with a Video Toaster Video Tape from them kind folks. The Book is more of a Pamphlet but as my friend Tommy Time says…. "If it's for Free it's for Me" Midgard Graphics Creators of 3D Animation and Special FX For the Hobbyist Videographer.

Peter, How did you get it?!? I would like to get a copy! Matt
#35628From: Peter GreciOct 26, 1993 4:56 PM
How'd I get What Matthew?? Sorry I forgot the thread. If you mean the Pamphlet and Video by Lee Stranahan that was a "Thank You" gift from the folks at VTU for resubscribing.

Thanks Peter. I was asking about the 101 tips from Lee S. So, you answered my question. Matt

Ahhh Very good. Glad I answered yer question. My poor fried Brain loses track so easily lately.

Yes this months AW was QUITE thin. Amazing since I believe CD 32 is now shipping plus the new updates for Software. Perhaps they simply aren't getting enuff to fill the mag anymore.

Actually, it's the same size as the last couple of issues. Still not as large as I'd like it to be though…

really, It must be just the new format that makes it looks smaller to me. Midgard Graphics Creators of 3D Animation and Special FX For the Hobbyist Videographer.

Don't worry about your eyes…. It was the first thing I checked when I got the new issue. 🙂 Steve
#35397From: Paul DowgewiczOct 9, 1993 8:49 PM
Even though AW was stapled, it's still 96 pages + covers. As I looked through the past 8 months of issued, most were 96 pages. A few were several pages more, but we haven't lost anything this month anyway. It just looks like they won't be having any larger issues. I'd rather see a stapled issue than no issue at all.

I haven't yet recieved the stapled issue but it seems to me that the last few issues have actually had MORE information and better articles. IMHO, AW! was never very strong on content except as a general overview but I felt that had changed a bit lately, for the better. Damn, those rose coloured glasses are interfering with my sight again! Andrew
#35412From: Peter GreciOct 10, 1993 1:55 PM
Indeed, I'd rather see a Stapled issue than none at all too. Glad the VTU keeps Expanding tho. Midgard Graphics Creators of 3D Animation and Special FX For the Hobbyist Videographer.

It's no thinner than before. But they went from perfect-binding to saddle-stiched binding. Although that makes it easier to leave the magazine open, it makes it look thinner. Denny Atkin Book? What book? Oh, THAT book!

What's this rumor I heard on the Internet, that if you buy your book, you get a free A600?
#35472From: Carl HansenOct 14, 1993 8:02 PM
Are you still offering signed versions of your book? If so I would like to order one. Let me know where to send the check.
#35495From: Denny Atkin [COMPUTE/AmiOct 16, 1993 9:38 PM

Hey, Denny… someone told us there was a review of Crits in either the last or near the last Compute… that so? If so, any way we could get a copy of the article or the issue?
#35509From: Denny Atkin [COMPUTE/AmiOct 17, 1993 2:30 PM
Sure, you guys should have gotten one when it came out. 🙁 I'll track down which issue it was in and get you a copy.
#35519From: Black Belt SystemsOct 18, 1993 12:48 AM
Thanks a million, Denny.
#35530From: Eddie StaskyOct 18, 1993 6:34 PM
Denny… I'm still waiting on the two copies of your book and another title that I ordered at the regular price in July. Must be a big book taking lots of time to print.. By the way that IDE drive I bought from you is running fine… Eddie.Ski
#35686From: Denny Atkin [COMPUTE/AmiOct 30, 1993 4:49 PM
Eddie, Did you order them from COMPUTE? Or from a bookstore? If it was from COMPUTE, you should have had them within two weeks. If it was from COMPUTE, send email to >internet:casinger@aol.com and let her know about the problem… Glad the drive's working well!
#35634From: Carl HansenOct 26, 1993 8:29 PM
Thanks, I'll get the check in the mail.
