üDID YOU KNOW THAT.... Çby Richard Karsmakers

...Atari  and  Commodore have recently been involved in  a  court
   case?
...it was Atari vs Commodore?
...Atari was a bit mad because it had turned out that the Amiga's
   custom  chips  had in fact been promised  to  Mr.  Tramiel  at
   Atari?
...Commodore  lost  the case and had to pay quite  an  amount  of
   money to Atari?
...this  has  unfortunately  not yet  caused  the  bankruptcy  of
   Commodore Business Machines?
...this will probably happen in due course?
...we,  üST NEWSÇ,  have been mentioned in the big German  magazine
   "68000'er" from June this year?
...the people there seem to think we're doing great work?
...we find this a great compliment?
...we hope to be mentioned in other computer magazines  worldwide
   as well?
...we  hereby  wish  to extend our gratitude to  'al'  from  this
   particular magazine?

...dozens  and  dozens of software packages have  been  announced
   recently for the ST?
...they were far too much to be included in this column?
...I  have therefore included them in this issue's  "ST  Software
   News" article?
...we  will  probably have to start a competitive  struggle  with
   another disk magazine soon?
...this remark is meant especially for Germany?
...they  have now launched the first issue of a  magazine  called
   "CIP ST"?
...it is also very cheap, just like ours?
...the  first  issue was completely filled  by  one  man:  Ulrich
   Veigel?
...I herefore have deepest respect for him,  since I think I also
   know what it is to do something like that?
...you should send a disk + DM 3,- to them if you want to  obtain
   it?
...their   address   is:    CIP   (Club   für   Informatik    und
   Programmierung), Ulrich Veigel, Köhlstraße 9, 7100  Heilbronn,
   West Germany?
...their magazine is written in German and is also programmed  in
   GfA Basic?
...we surely hope to get contact with them soon,  so we can  help
   each other a bit?
...I hope we can exchange some articles sometimes?
...this non-competitive spirit seems much more attractive to me?
...I  really don't think disk magazines should try to sweep  each
   other right off their fundaments?
...I wish them lots of success with conquering Germany?
...Frank is currently busy writing educational software?
...I think he's gone out of his mind?
...he  plans on winning Atari Benelux' Mega ST or maybe sell  the
   program against thousands of guilders?
...he has already done quite some coding and the whole program is
   now already taken shape?
...Engel G. bought an Amiga 2000?!?!???!!!!!?&*^%$$??!!?!
...he  must have been as much out of his mind when he  did  that,
   like   Frank is at the moment,  writing all  that  educational
   stuff?
...he used to be such a nice person to chat with?
...I hope he will regain his senses soon?
...I will probably call his doctor as soon as I've finished  this
   article?
...Mrs.  G.  and  his two little sons hereby receive  my  deepest
   sympathy?
...there actually is very little to say for this time's "Did  you
   know that...."?
...I  will  therefore  close down this  article  before  I  start
   writing down pure rubbish like some sentences before?
...I hope to see you in the next issue of üST NEWSÇ?

Goodbye!
