Could we have an up-to-date list of what's available? Not subscribing
to any current SAM mags, I might be missing out on some great products...

I should be getting my PC before too long (my first ever non 8-bit
computer!) so the pcb for the SAM PC keyboard interface shouldn't
be too far off...

Hmm, the phrase monopoly on the SAM market is beginning to spring
to mind when I hear the name Persona ;)

Nice one, and it makes good sense, at least as far as the software
is concerned, but what is going to happen with FRED and Blitz? Okay, they
have never been exactly the same sort of mags, with Fred being the more
gamesy, and Blitz being more techy, but there has certainly been some
overlap. I'd really like to see Fred becoming purely gamesy, and Blitz
becoming purely techy. That way people could subscribe to one or the other
or both (subbers to both could get a nice discount).

 All existing Fred products are now only available from PERSONA.

I trust you have covered yourself where Kaboom is concerned!
Speaking of which, any chance of you convincing Wayne to do something
(anything?!) with it?

Seems a good opportunity here to remind people that if they want a 14 page
booklet with details on all my (Quazar) products then just email me your
postal
address and i'll post of a copy of my latest [January] catalogue. (Which I
just
finished DTPing about an hour ago! It's got info on my two pieces of
hardware and fifty four pieces of software including, for example,  the
Quazar Surround soundcard (16 bit sound and full surround sound) and
Stratosphere (my fast 3d wireframe game that's been plugged many times
before :)

I've also put together a 4 page booklet to include with the main info
booklet
which is all about Stratosphere and is packed full of info, screenshots
and the reviews.

I'll also have a full catalogue about Soundbyte ready in about a weeks time
which goes into more detail than the main booklet about whats on each
issue. (Soundbyte is the monthly disk for the Quazar Surround - currently on
issue 44 at the moment.)
