Whoow... what a responses.
Sorry Mari but I think you're going a bit too far here.
This idea was absolutely NO attack against XSW or you in person or anyone
else. It
was simply a very good and well-meant idea to add something more to the
MSX-scene. And I think it's a very good idea. What do you think? We want to
destroy XSW-Magazine, because we don't respect you or something?
I don't write for FutureDisk because nobody ever asked me to do so and
besides I don't really like the style of writing of some articles (although
that doesn't mean I don't like the magazine, and the FD sold at the fair was
superb! Not so negative-only anymore!).
And I DO write for XSW-Magazine (they even didn't have to ask for it).
Oh yes, okay, I agree, my articles are all used, I will have to write some
more. And Mari, if you need more articles from me then simply ask me, and
you will have to nag a little but too to make me do it before the deadline.
But if I say I would like to write an article for MCCM-Web, that doesn't
mean I intend to quit writing for, for instance, XSW-magazine!
And Mari, I haven't seen ANY call from you for writers. I didn't offer
myself as a writer because you asked for it, I did it because I still wanted
to write some articles and make myself useful for MSX after Track stopped. I
had NO idea (really), that you were hurting for writers that much. And the
same will probably go for other people too.
Once again, I have to say this is a VERY good initiative.
A magazine on the Web is something entirely different than on paper, which
you can read anywhere, and you don't (nessacarily) need a computer screen
turned on in front of you. But I'm not saying a Webzine isn't cool either,
they are just entirely different and can't be compared (well, okay, they
can, but you get what I mean).
The availability of a webzine will not make me terminate my XSW-subscription
or something like that. And I think no-one will do that. Every MSXer who is
now still active knows if they don't support other that MSX will vanish very
soon. I think that even if you guys (FD, XSW) made a totally-shit magazine,
it would still be bought (as long as the price isn't too high ofcourse).
Well, that was what I wanted to say.
