This might explain why there are so few negative things being mentioned. So, please: If you have to mutter about Generation, do it - but tell it to us! Not like certain editors of a certain mag, filling up their mag, by criticising Generation#20, when Generation#21 has been out for months. c04 - - - f2c02 'Artwork is lame! c03 Skyphos/Artwork' f1c04It's always nice to get constructive and serious replies from groupmates isn't it? - - - f2c02'Since my last FTP-action, a first Generation magazin - issue 21 - finds itself on my harddrive. Ok, the articles don't knock me out of my shoes, as I ain't interested in the whole scenelife with all its internal quarrels. (...) Out of the article about Political and Scenical Correctness, I could have gotten myself most. c03C0NTRAST' f1c04This was a very special letter to me as it was the first time that a real non-Scener replied on any of my writings. We lateron had a little discussion about Political Correctness in common. I am sure that this letter shows that the Scene would have gotten the chance of finding recognition outside, if we would just bring it more into the focus of people by agreeing into a more wide variety of topics. - - - f2c02'Ok, for Generation... first of all I was disappointed since there was no SMT-Sound in it and no IFT-News and no IFT-Messages and no IFT-Charts... Hmmm, I guess I'll have to take over the leadership again... So in the end again a lot of Generation Stuff. c03Spiv/Infect' f1c04Uh, yes. Do it! I guess with Generation largely ruled by IFT, certain people should be happy with grammatical correctness a little more... - - - f2c02'Thanks for sending me Generation issue 21 .. A great issue and surely also an improvement compared to issue 20. Some great articles and I guess I agree with most of the things you state. The Fishwave interview was nice aswell, done by Magic. I already had an earlier version of it, but it seems like Magic (or you ;) changed some things to it, I guess at the Symposium. A mistake was (in my opinion) to release abnominio 9, written by Magic. Why? Simply because its a lame idea (by magic that is). Badly performed aswell. Its Macno's bit, not Magic's. (...) Overall a great issue : and really looking forward to issue 22. Change the font again! :) c03Astro/(?)' f1c04A long one from the mighty RAW-chief. Thanks also here for the nice remarks. The Fishwave was not changed by me, yet when Fishwave found out that Magic himself changed the questions after he has given his answers and then mailed it to me, Fishwave wanted to rework the whole thing, which I found was just fair. The thing with that Abnomino was my fault as I blindly trusted in Magic who managed to fool me with the faked Abnomino. #*§$&!!! I won't change the font... c04 - - - f2c02'I missed, in every mag, an article about one of the most active groups in the Amiga Scene ever, the Jormas! With their very own style they got alot of fans, why not trying to do a history about those fab guys ? Keep your good work up!' f1Strange enough... Just have look at the menu. - - - f2c02'Nice Diskmag! But I`ve to admit that I haven't started a war with SMT! Please respect my opinium, and don't believe the rumors! The only thing I said is that I don't like the Gate's maintune so far... (it's an awesome demo, btw).... well.. keep up the good work. c03Jazz/Haujobb' f1c04So, this should have been cleared up by now. - - - f2c02'Thanks for the new Generation..really a fine thing.....Cracker Journal is in reach now (they had around 30 issues I think)... c03Uyanik!/TRSI' f1c04Latest then, we should be accepted in the hall of legends, I guess. - - - f2c02'Respect! Generation really wasn't bad at all and thanks for the nice demoreview! c03Dragon/Incal' f1c04No need to thank us - thank yourself, you deserved exactly this review. - - - f2c02'Dunno. I've never read the mag :) c03Dazzler/Effect' f1c04A-ha. You are missing something, mate. - - - f2c02'(...) Btw brilliant work you have done with Generation21, excellent gfx and articles, certainly as good as the better diskmags out there. c03Psionic' f1c04I guess we are just as good as our audience and the support is, so thanks to all out there, helping us, in advance! - - - f2c02'No more jokes about transsexuals anymore, please! The subdividing between One-File and Multiload is absolutely oldfashioned and since ever been totally pointless. c03Fiver/Artwork' f1c04I never made jokes about transsexuals, I only mocked about the Girls In The Scene-discussion. Just to have that sorted out! For the subdividing: Has been handed over to Damion... - - - f2c02'Hang loose! Keep up the good work. Within 1-2 issues you're among the top 5! I like the focus on computer/Amiga related topics. With the tremendous amount of news floating around, it's nice to have someone to sort it all out for us.. c03Frode Erikson (Cesium/Session)' f1c04 - - - f2c02'Keep up the good work :). Generation's getting better (as a diskmag, it has always been a cool messagebox). It still needs something, at least some more finishing touch but starting to look good.. c03Blast' f1c04How right you are! We will see... - - - f2c02'I like the magazine, I wish though the message section was made into a seperate magazine or something (save HD space among other things). Also a print and save text option would be great as well if added to Generations. c03Jaguar Speed/Ultra Sonix' f1c04Naaaw, mate, I'm sorry. We ain't going to do that for sure. - - - f2c02'Please remove the BBS, PACKERS and SWAPPER charts. They REALLY suck! (anti trader generation :) c03Rodney/TBL' f1c04 - - - f2c02'Just stay as you are & keep doing this as long as possible! =-)' c03Dean/Spasm+Subject' f1c04 - - - f2c02'Well, I am glad that you sent Generation. The last issue of Generation was #8, if I remember correctly. This new AGA version is way of better than the ECS one. The ECS one had an ugly panel...nice to see that it's fixed. c03Hooligan/Fanatic' f1c04 - - - f2c02'If you want your mag even more colorful, make a section where you make interview with old Amiga legends (4-Mat, Slayer etc.) what they are doing nowadays. I suppose many ppl would be interested in reading about them, eh?' c03Lord/Absolute f1c04Just have a look at the menu, pal.
