A Somewhat Shaky Idea...

While reading PCN No. 38 I found on the Quit page 'CBS behind the green door'.

It seems that CBS is breaking a cardinal rule and not charging an extortionate price for a software cassette. I picked myself off the floor and read it again - and found they are giving it away.

However, I was brought back to earth when I read that you have to buy a Shaking Stevens cassette.

This seems to me to be both a woolly idea and a good idea at the same time, which is really quite a feat.

But hold, weary traveller. Before you warm up your Spectrum, ponder this thought. Where will it all end? Will we have Abba invaders, Barry Manilow goes rock climbing, The Madness Maze, the curse of Sidney Divine, The Tomb of Kajagoogoo, Paul Young's Diary...
