- Welcome to Issue 6 of Channel Z !!
-
-
-
-
- Yep thats right Issue 6 !!! We've actually made it to 12 months
-
- of Channel Z !!!
-
- Although, I can't really say that we are a year old!
-
- No, next Issue (7) we become a whole year older! as the first issue
-
- was out on September 1st 1993 (God it does'nt seem that long ago!
-
-
- Well, this Issue was yet again late at getting to those that wanted
-
- it! Not my fault though, My Disk Drive died, then my HardDrive
-
- crashed, and then to top the lot my Video Chips went down !!!!
-
- I've had a fun couple of Months, I think not!!!!!
-
- -----------------------------------------
-
- Ok, here goes with the usual Greetz and thanx!
-
-
- Thanx go out to.....
-
-
- AMIGA FORMAT - For the little advert that they put in for me!
- the response from that advert was amazing!
- Thanks lads! its good to see you supporting
- our tiny (compared to yours) Magazine!
-
- CU AMIGA - Why am I thanking you for continuously saying that
- Channel Z lacks in the Editorial department?
- God this magazine is'nt Grapevine you know!
- After a lengthy survey I listened to what the readers
- wanted and they wanted loads of Utilities and Pictures
- and stuff, with a few nice stories, articles etc.
- I, like you yourselves, want to keep my readers happy,
- so I will put the mag out in a format that they like!
- So, come on! Give me a break and write a review of
- this Magazine that is deserving of the style and
- content, and NOT of because it is'nt as big as
- Grapevine!
-
- SHANE - For being a constant Headache !
-
- PAUL B - Ok, the jokes have finished now, Paul is NOT a Mental
- Patient from North Park Mental Hospital, nor is he a
- pain in the backside!
- What he really is is a complete pain in the backside
- and a patient from WEST Park Mental Hospital.
-
- PAUL H - Thanks for your continued support over the past year!
- Keep those articles coming in, (Ive decided to keep
- on going!!!!!!)
-
- M.I.M.IV Thanks for the help when things started looking bad!

-
-
-
- I'm sure by now you have all heard of Commodores financial troubles,
-
- Dont worry! is the message from Commodore though as their British
-
- base is as strong as ever and the Amiga name will NOT die.
-
-
- Without worrying you though, if this is the case, WHY did Commodore
-
- sell its entire stock of A1200's to Dixons at stupid prices?
-
- I hope to god Commodore don't go down though, Ive had a Commodore
-
- machine in one form or another since the good old Vic-20.
-
- Samsung seem to be interested in buying out Commodore if they do go
-
- down though!
-
- So all is not lost either way!!!!!
-
- ---------------------
-
- Good news comes from Datel Electronics this month. I got a letter from
-
- Datel Electronics the other morning and they have promised that they
-
- are developing an Action Replay for the A1200 that should be with us
-
- soon!!!!!
-
- Hooray for third party developers! The Amiga may be dying (NOT!)
-
- but they won't stop developing for it !!
-
- On a lighter note, I've been getting postcards from people from all
-
- parts of the World lately so, if you live somewhere nice (or even
-
- if you don't), send me a postcard, and I'll send you one back from
-
- good old Sunny (Ha!) Blackpool, with a nice big picture of the
-
- PEPSI MAX BIG ONE RIDE on it! (You know, the one that keeps breaking
-
- down and crashing!)
-
- I've been on the ride and I must say it is well worth it!
-
-
-
- I have been in contact with a fair amount of readers over the past
-
- few weeks and must say that you should be looking out in the PD world
-
- for some great new Games and utilities that should be surfacing soon!
-
- Thats all I'm saying just now, so keep reading to find out more!
