3                    SOME COMMENTS ON SOME STORIES OF ISSUE 1

   2                              By The Ripper


Abnormalia was born, phisically, on the Christmas Eve.
It is not my job to judge her, as I am one of the editors, nevertheless I feel I
have  to  write  a  couple  of  lines about the texts (I don't like to call them
articles) she was filled with.

2- PLUS AND MINUS1: A nice topic, God and human being is always something very
                  interesting for people with at least some brain cells
                  still  working.   It has a good prose, but everyone know MACNO
                  can  write  in  a  great  way in any language but Italian 8-)!
                  However I did not enjoy it very much.  It has something, I
                  don't  know  what is exactly, wrong.  Maybe it is a little bit
                  expected, especially the final conclusions.

2- THE SECRET OF THE UNIVERSE1: Good prose too.  But, as I don't like science
                              related fiction, I did not enjoy completely the
                              piece. I found it boring in some parts.

2-  GREEN  EYES1: An  original  piece.   Good descriptions catch immediately the
                attention of the eyes of the reader.  Good ideas and great and
                original end.  It is a message against racism?  Hard to say, Let
                Macno speak!
  3 (Nope, I didn't think about that, when I wrote it, but it would be nice to
  3 say, now, that it was a message against racism... ;-) Critics can put in the
  3 authour's mouth words and meanings he never said, right Ripper? ;-> Just look
  3 at Dante! :->>> (Macno))

2-  MERLYN'S  DREAM1:  Nice text!  I enjoyed it very much.  It was funny but also,
                     in  an  original  way,  deep.  Good descriptions and a very
                     good  idea.   It  is not easy to mix wisely humour and deep
                     thoughts, it seems Merlyn's dream reached its goal.

2-  FROM  THE  WiNDOW1: Macno's masterpiece!  It's simply one of the, or probably
                      THE, best text I have ever read on a computer magazine.
                      Deep  topic,  absolutely great descriptions, I dare to say
                      "photographic descriptions", for being more realistic than
                      a picture.  Definitely THE text I would like to read every
                      issue.  Keep on this way man!

2-  CARS1: A lot of friends of mine liked it very much.  I did not.  It's strange
         but the message Macno wanted to give us did not reach my soul or
         almost. Not my kind of text.

2-  EARTH 21451: I did not find this text as original as I found others.  I think
               I can easily find a lot of "inspirators" in books and movies.
               "METROPOLIS",  "1984", "THE TIME MACHINE" and so on.  By the way,
               worth of reading.

I  don't  think  it is needed to say that these are only opinions of mine.  I am
not  a  critic  nor  a  writer.   Take  them as simply suggestions from a common
reader.


3(I  would like to thank Ripper for having contributed to COMMENTARIUM in the way
3this  section  was  meant  to be.  An exange of points of view among readers and
3writers  (who,  we  hope, should be the same persons).  Just a note, Ripper, why
3have  you  "reviewed"  stories written only by me?  There were other authors and
3stories to talk about.  (Macno))
