Don't thank me, I only wrote a few articles (albeit a long, long time ago) and the Ed made them a bit more interesting

Looking good. 8) Carl added a monster I think, nice one

Game reviews, well... there sure are Amiga rediscoverers who'll enjoy them. Nice Out-Run inlay And great artwork overall, I must say.

What did you use to make the layout for the final PDF?

I've had a good (speed) read of issue 3 now and once again, a top quality mag.

Great work by all involved. Thanks for your efforts.

Photon: glad you like it Massive thanks for the demo interview.

I use QuarkXPress to put it all together. There's a handy PDF export extension that lets you distill directly.

This looks mouth wateringly superb and an epic win of mountainous proportions!

I'll wait until the download speeds up a bit though before trying and commenting as I'm rushed for time at the moment.

Yes Smiley, the EAB server has been very slow this weekend. I tried to update the ClassicWB packs, got as far as the Webpage but gave up on the packs as they were uploading way too slow. Problem is, I deleted the old ones so they are offline again!

I'm back on the road now and away from home, so the packs and this will have to wait until I get back.

Looks like great work guys and a fantastic project. The cover looks fab.

To all the people getting slow speeds...

You know what, I've never seen this before. Looks pretty damn good.

Nice long feature on the demoscene as well

Top work.

I just had a quick flick through - a bumper release indeed! Some of the classic adverts brought back memories and everything is very well written, presented and, of course, enjoyable to read.

I'm going to save this for a better viewing with a coffee and cookie in the near future, when I have access to a higher res monitor. Trying to read it on a laptop just isn't doing the mag justice.

Thanks again APOV team.

Are APOV reviews going to be listed in the HOL and the AMR?

Did I just win an award for the most acronyms used in a single sentence?

Hoped you liked my reviews - they were great fun to write!
