Thank you to everyone who has written an article(s), helped with editing and provided suggestions. This issue is the first one to have inline images for those on OS3.2, please be aware though that the pages can take up to 30 seconds to render on slower Amigas, so do not be surprised if it takes a while for a page to show up. Also thanks to Roald Strauss we have music in the magazine via easy on and off buttons from the main menu. Enjoy the magazine!
