|1-What NOT to write for any diskmags


                     By Mike / Quantum Incorporated

Yeh,  yeh, yeh, you don't half get a load of SHITE in some diskmags.  If
I've  offended  anyone  in  any way in this article, then I'm sorry, but
this is my Point of view.

Personally, the subjects I don't want to be covered in any mags are:

|1-1:  Smileys.

                Stupid  arses!   Have you smiley authors not grasped the
                concept  of  how smileys are meant to be used?  They are
                meant  to  be  used to express moods + feelings, such as
                :-)  means the previous statement was said in a happy or
                funny  way, and :-( means in a sad way.  I mean, WHEN ON
                THIS  EARTH  are you going to use smileys such as [:-) -
smiley  with  a  walkman  (ha!   how funny.), and *-) - one-eyed smiley.
There  are  only a few smileys in actual use, I think you'll find.  They
are:

:-)   :-(   ;-)   -   Happy, sad and winking (suggestiveness/innuendo)

                       SO STOP MAKING THIS SHITE!

|1-2: Amiga v PC/Mac/Falcon etc...



Oh,  god  you  childish  arseholes!  Will you never shut up?  Who REALLY
gives  a  fuck  whether  which  computer is better?  They all have their
advantages  +  disadvantages,  so stop whining on.  It's like being in a
fucking  playground listening to all you little whining children moaning
on.   Why not have an argument over who's dad can beat up someone else's
dad?   Or who's got a bigger car?  This argument is futile.  Personally,
I  find  MSDOS  easier  to use than Amiga shell, but that's just my POV.
(point  of view).  They are pieces of machinery for gods sake!  Lumps of
plastic  and metal!  Have you ever actually thought about the logicality
of  that  argument?  You don't have arguments with people about who's TV
or video works better do you?  Sheesh!

|1-Everybody"    






|1-3:  "Top ten" lists



I'm  prepared  to  make  an exception if these are funny, but 99% of the
time,  they  are  boring  as  hell, and just go to prove that the author
leads  an  incredibly dull life.  I suppose you think I'm being slightly
hypocritical  here;  I  have written a list of things that bore me.  Not
true, because this is actually RELEVANT to the magazine.

|1-4:  Boring and tedious facts



You know what I mean, those lists that tell you things like "An American
aircraft  in  Vietnam  shot itself down with one of its own missiles" or
"Adolf Hitler's cook was Jewish" and so on.  Boooooooooring!



So,  looking  at  all  of  these,  What  do  you think?  I'm sure almost
everyone  has written about, or thought about writing one of these, but,
please  don't sent them to TW.  They're crap.  I bet we have some of the
above  subjects in this issue.  Personally, I'd rather TW be smaller and
more  interesting, because, it's not the quantity, It's the quality that
counts.
