And of course
Lord Ronin for his many contributions
Without these people supporting me I think I would have been so
overwhelmed I couldn’t have continued Commodore Free magazine.
Summer has arrived and I can confirm that by my Computer room
being too hot to enter, this is a general test to see if summer has arrived,
I haven’t managed to enter the room for some 3 months so it
was a little moth filled and dusty. We have fresh tarmac outside our
house as the road and pavement have now been completely redone
thanks to the council I see my voting has made all the difference and
the bin collection has returned to Friday that makes it more easy for
me to remember to put the thing out for collection. The tarmac in the
heat smells fantastic, I wonder if anyone has tried to recreate the
smell, an urban myth suggests that using the smell can cure colds
and flu, not sure about that but it’s a nice small on a sunny day, especially
when we have the odd shower that increases the smell of
tarmac.
This issue sees an interview with Meeting user through the mail a
club designed for Commodore users who can write snail mails to
each other and put them in the post box, you know you write on a
piece of paper put it in an envelope and put a stamp on the envelope
and put it in a post box, someone collect it from the box and sorts al
the mail out to its destination, it can take from a few days to several
months to arrive.
Also exciting is that Cloanto have finally released the long awaited
C64 Forever, some details are in this issue, although as I say it took
me so long to finish playing with the release that I didn’t get around
to creating a review. I have finished a review but will include this in
next month’s issue, as it looks like I ran out of space.
Great news is that after not checking my inbox for 2 months It seems
apart from the usual adverts about chemical companies I have won
every major lottery under the planet and just need to click on the
links to claim my prize. Of course this is great news but hey just a
minute I haven’t entered any of these lotteries, ah well it cheered me
up a little thinking what I would do with millions of pounds.
That’s it from me, I wonder if anyone still reads editorials
Bye
