When did I say that? Obviously it's not CU, CU was good! ;)

Maybe the mag needs more new talent then?

Was it really that long ago? Wow. I thought it was only 12-14 months ago. I
wasn't online at the time, although I rememer the article quite well.

I'm sure I suggested something for the online coloumn. Noing me it was
probably IRC related or something to do with IP Filtering.

At present I don't have the time or the inclination to sit down and plan out
exactly what I want from an issue of AA. Some things that spring to mind are:
An editorial on why AmigActive isn't just going to be a Classic Amiga mag.
An article pushing people to register shareware programs.
A big retro-gaming series, exploring emulation on the Amiga. What emulators
there are, how they compare to each other (Ie Magic64 vs Frodo etc..). I guess
it doesn't happen because of the usually copyright infringements around
emulation.
Carpe Diem,
