Welcome to the S.N.A.G. Disk of the Month for MAY. S.N.A.G. has grown a lot during the last year, with a lot of exciting things continuing to happen. It has been very interesting seeing all of the new people who have joined S.N.A.G. during the last year. It has also been great being involved with all of the great talent that people have been interested in sharing with one another. Being involved in a user's group has been a benefit for a lot of people, who have had their computer problems solved, that had no other place to turn. It is always interesting to see the differences between people's computer problems and how the individuals learn and grow and pass the information along to others. A interesting thing that has come to mind lately about the Amiga Computer, that other computers do not have, is the GURU. Most people look at the GURU as a problem that they do not want, but programmers look at the guru as information for what is wrong with their program. I know that most do not understand the GURU Meditations, but if you are writing a program, get a book on the Meditation codes and it will help you find the bug that is causing the problem with the program. For those who watch another type of monitor, T.V., it has been expressed that a lot of Credit Cards these days offer extended insurance for consumer protection. Suggest that you check with your Credit Card Company and see if Computers are included. 'Not All Are!' The 3000 is finally here and no longer a dream. 'See CBM_NewReleases' for information and pictures. Congratulations to Rick Parks for doing the cover picture of Amiga World for May, 1990. You should see the demo he is planning to do at the club this month. He is an outstanding computer artist. While reading some information about printers the other day. Found this helpful hint. If you are trying to print out a file and having a problem with the margins do this on or above the first line of the file. 'Esc[10;96s' This command will set the left margin to 10 and the right margin to 96. Then select 12-pitch (Elite) to print. There you go. Be sure to read the text file from Steve Tibbet about VirusX4.4. It is not a Virus detector. 'Guess someone has more time than me!' Understand from one of the members that a lot of disks are being made overseas these days and are not lasting as well as they did. Works fine for a while and then plays out. Check who is making the disks you buy and maybe spend a little more for the good things you want on disk media. While on the subject of disks and copying, it is the policy of S.N.A.G. to condemn piracy of commercial software. Copying of software which you have not purchased is illegal and may result in loss of membership and privileges in S.N.A.G.. Geeeeeee, if the club can purchase software, and support the authors of Shareware, YOU CAN TOO!! Guess everybody heard the joke about the Convict who was talking to his lawyer and said, "GEEE, I can't believe my computer turned States Evidence!!" Well have a happy one, until next time. If you come up to me and tell me the joke about at the next meeting, you will get a free Disk.. Elton Blair Vice-President S.N.A.G. Offer on the disk is good until June 9th meeting.
