First the good news, a happy Easter to all of you. The bad news is you'll have to live without us for a week. Because of the problems caused by the Bank Holiday weekend we've had to drop next week's issue. Anyway, why shouldn't we have a holiday too? To compensate we've made this issue a bit bigger, and issue 107 will be worth the wait. We'll have a special feature on printers, and we'll show you how to build a printer interface for your 64, plus a great Spectrum competition. So don't miss it.
