- Hi Doug and the rest of the BM-lads,

- about 25 km from Uster - the home city of the Medusa and the Hades, but
- unfortunenately i got a summer-flue and couldn't make it to Uster :-(

- Cool! Will this mean that you're preparing APEX 3 for Atari's (and clones
- maybe ?) with graphic cards like the NOVA or/and PCI-cards on the Hades
- and such like ?
-
- Anyway - sounds like a wise step - just like all your steps .-)

- MagiC 5 _is_ released (at least the German-version). And no, they haven't
- switched platform if that's what you mean, they have just spread MagiC to
- almost every home-platform one can think of.
-
- Along with MagiC 5, there is also MagiCMac V.2.0 and MagiC-PC now.
-
- All with equivalent features, except the hardware specific things of course.
-
- By the way, I can't remember what I must do if I wan't to un-subscribe
- the BadMood-list and than later again subscribe to it.
-
- The reason why I ask, is because I'll be loosing my internet account at
- the 1st of august and then get a new one by the 1st of september.
-
- By the way, my new E-mail adress will propably be : chainxor@iesd.auc.dk
- if anyone want's to contact me.
