In response to your appeal for more contributions to the magazine, I've put together a few lines which may add to your letters section. I don't have much to say. In fact, I wish to echo what has already been said.
I welcome the various hints published in EUG including those on View. I enjoyed the Film Show programs and Richard Dimond's Screen Dump programs were very good. I have bought several items through the Advertisement sections and wish to thank both Derek Walker and Bill Woodall for all their helpful advice.
On receiving EUG #13, I sent a cheque for £6.00 to 'Ribbons And Things' for two printer ribbons. I received them by return of post with a 1p refund and found they were identical to ribbons I purchased five weeks earlier from a local supplier at £6.99 each! Was I ripped off or was I ripped off?!
One point I would like to question, not wanting to upset anyone, mind you. I often see the phrase 'valuable disk space' used. As there is always plenty of room on the disk and anything you don't like you can *DELETE, I don't see what the problem is. Surely it would be better to put as much as possible on the disk (without lowering standards) in order to cater for everyone's taste.
Finally, refering to Will's remarks regarding EUG trundling along and less issues published per year, I hope this will not happen. No doubt there are those of you who felt the same sense of loss I did when the excellent Electron User magazine ceased publication. We can't stop this old machine from getting even older but hopefully the enthusiasm and interest will continue to grow.
Here's hoping fellow readers will send in their contributions and perhaps one day my only complaint about EUG will be put right: I have to wait two months for the next issue.
