^6KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
^2 NOTE FOR PARENTS, OR WHOEVER CONTROLS AMOS IN YOUR HOUSE!!!!
^1 There must be plenty of parents who are fed up of seeing their kids
^1play games and nothing else. While games can teach co-ordination and
^1educational programs teach maths etc, little kids don't seem to want
^1to make the computer do anything else. Is this because all the
^1programming languages and books are aimed at older people, or that
^1some children who have an interest in programming have no one able
^1to show them?
^6 Whatever the reason, we would like to give these kids a chance to
^6learn. So please give the youngsters a chance! Half an hour or so now
^6and them is all they'll need.
^7 As you are reading this, you obviously have an Amiga, and as it is
^7Totally Amos in content, you probably have a copy of Amos! There is
^7no more than a copy of Totally Amos to get, and that's only £2.50p
^7once every two months!
^1 This issue's Amos for Kids is just to put forward our ideas, the
^1projects will start up in Issue One. (Due in November).
^2 Feedback from you is very important to us. Your views and those of
^2the children using this section will be greatly appreciated.

^3@6 HELLO!@
^2 This part of [2TOTALLY AMOS[0 is specially for you under 12's who have
^2seen older brothers and sisters, dads and mums, using[2 AMOS[0 and would
^2really like to make the Amiga do something that you've told it to!
^4 Programming isn't just for the big people, everyone can do something!
^4(And everyone has to start somewhere).
^2 We shall include little programs for you to alter, and try to explain
^2what is happenning. These will not be mega shoot 'em up games, but
^2tiny routines that you'll eventually use inside bigger projects.
^4 There will be graphics and tunes for you as well, we think that you
^4deserve some disk space!!
^1 Please write to us and tell us what you'd like to make the computer
^1do. We hope to put in little programs that you will be able to
^1understand and change to make them do what you want. They will be
^1things that change colours, sounds, put things on different parts of
^1the screen and so on. They will get more complicated as time goes on,
^1but never too hard to follow.
^2If you have any ideas, please write to us at:-

^2include SAE or stamp.
