THANKS TO OUR SUPPORTERS, CONTRIBUTORS AND CUSTOMERS  ###################################################################### The list of supporters and contributors to Megadisc is growing steadily and heartfelt thanks go to all you good people whose contributions are improving the quality of the magazine each issue. Many users, both local and overseas are very surprised at the high quality of the information in Megadisc, particularly when compared to some of the flashier international magazines, on disk or paper. Just goes to show the locals can do it if they want! Many of these knowledgeable people are willing to share what they know if you've got a particular problem, so contact us if you want to be put in touch with someone who can solve it. Meanwhile, a thousand thanks also to all of you who have bought Megadisc (to be precise about 1500 thanks...), thus helping us to continue putting out the disk - if people don't buy it, we can't continue helping to sort out the information flood for you... One way to support Megadisc is to simply let other people know about us - give a subscription form to a friend, or hassle your local dealer to keep stocked up or get the disk in if he hasn't got it. Or phone us and tell us about a new dealer. Thanks go specifically to the following people who have contributed to the contents of this issue of Megadisc, in first name order: All the Commodore dealers who carry Megadisc and give feedback Andre Lackmann for a bunch of PD sample disks Andrew Wong for help with proof-reading & general help Anthony Towns for his further exploration of DME, the text editor Bill Jordan for his various games and other PD programs Bob Fields for his terrific double-Kickstart hardware mod Craig Arnoldt for his article on software and the ECS Chris Ralph for being available for help with readers' questions Commodore Technical support for answering queries and other help Daniel Rutter for reviews, hints, help with PD and a lot more David Buchan for a review of MRBackup, a PD hard disk backup program David Jacobs for his regular feedback from W.A.
