³¼NEWS M-S¼³ ³MAJIC 12¹ ²---------------------------------------¹ In Denmark a new graphician called Dali joined and Rack did NOT join Absolute, as some rumours said. He will only do some graphics for them. Vector/Majic 12 sold his Amiga and quit the scene and left Majic 12. But since he inheritated money from an unknown uncle he bought an Amiga 3000 and joined into the scene again. Cable Junction - the BBS supposed to be opened by Vector/Majic 12 is due to lotsa problems. Vector decided to change BBS system just 1 week before the opening, so it went 4 weeks before he got the new system up. Then the problem with the modem. He didn't get the modem he was promised. He had ordered a Us Robotics Dual Standard, but instead he got a normal HST. Anyway in the meantime he got the exams and so on at school, so Vector has decided that the opening will take place on the 1st of January 1993. Look out for it then. Lotsa cool warez, such as the latest demos, intros, utilities and of course the latest issue of Static Bytes Eurochart and Majic 12's Top Secret. Consider supporting these two fine productions. Sleepwalker/Majic 12 will probably open his BBS at the same time as Vector. Then name will be Castle Anthrox. It will be runned on a normal Amiga 500 and a average harddrive and the modem will be a Us Robotics Dual Standard. The never ending story about Dr.Bully/Majic 12 and his millitary service has reached more hights! Now he will be in the army for 2 weeks, home 2 weeks, army 2 weeks, home 2 weeks and so on. Can't they leave this poor lad alone?..... Vector/Majic 12 though he had caught a guy using a picture, which originally were drawn by Marvel/Static Bytes. The was in a graphics-competition in a Norwegian computer magazine. But the picture was sendt in by Marvel himself, under a false name, so no catch that day. (Smart tricks Joachim! Cheers from Vector!) Knight which was a member of Majic 12 longtime ago actually quit the scene and sold his Amiga. Noone heard anything from him in a long time, but now he is back kicking and he is, as he was before, a member of Majic 12, making music. Welcome back Goeran! Also in Sweden we got a new board, the sysop is Baraface and Rack and Psycho (Majic 12 C-64 Division) are soldiers in Szekesfehervar in Hungary. But they are working, in the army, on a project for the legendary C-64. Rack will finish the army in February and Polaris left the scene for a short time, but he will come back. And then we got the news from a person (No names) saying that Zoom! had joined in France. Well that's not true (Though he probably should we welcome ed.). So, as there has been a lot of mess about our current memberstatus we will give you it here: Australia:Tal (Swapper), Daffa (Coder), Genocide (Musician, Coder), Xiphoid (Graphician). Hungary: Avantage (Coder), Exampler (Graphician), Rack (Graphician), Zozo (Swapper), Dr.Zothyo (Coder), Dr.Device (Swapper), Version (Coder), Jazzy D (Swapper, Coder). Norway: Vector (Swapper,Sysop), Tactel (Swapper), Dr.Bully (Musician), Knight (Musician), Develon (Coder), Sleepwalker (Swapper, Sysop). France: Baby (Musician, Graphician), Mwaba (Graphician), Polaris (Swapper), Magellan (Swapper). Sweden: Hannes (Coder), Burton (Coder), Sy-Klone (Sysop), Griffin (Graphician), Zyx (Coder), Eracore (Graphician), Derelict (Musician), Baraface (Sysop), Cindy (Modemtrader), Stacy (Graphician), Melly (Modemtrader). Denmark: Dali (Graphician), Nighthawk (Graphician), Ramirez (Sysop), Zinko (Swapper), Thunderbyte (Coder), Mud (Main-editor, Swapper), TFG (Main-editor, Swapper).
