New page

Once again it is that time. The time where you will see
what the scene has to say to me about Skyhigh.
Actually there isn't that many reactions as I had ex-
pected. So why is that? I can't believe that there is
nothing to comment or complain about! I rather think
that the explanation is; that it takes a bit of time to
swallow it. Furthermore then it does take a while be-
fore you can feel the results. Just take a look at
the demo charts. There usally goes a bit of time be-
for you see the results of your latest demo.
I guess that's the way it is working, so I better sit
down patiencely and wait. Eventhough I might not be
so good at it.!

Well let's cut the crap, and get bizzy...

--------------------------------------------

L.O. Bizzy!

Skyhigh = cool.
Only one thing : If you leave the menu to read a
chapter there appears a color-ram rolling effect
in the middle with veeeery ugly colours, he he.
But there are worse things in the world, I think.
So keep on making quality,
Bye....
Lupo/-NPL-

Yo Lupo!

Thanx for the reaction from you, but what the heck
does L.O. Bizzy mean?
- Lame Old Bizzy ? Lovely Openhearted Bizzy? HE HE!
Well nevermind.
About the 'Color-ram rolling effect'. First of all :
What a cool term!!! (Oh boy have you seen the latest
demo from Camelot with realtime CRR effect!!) he he!
OK. seriously!, I don't really know what you mean. I
do have a vague idea though. I can see that Scare of
Neoplasia has written a small remark saying : 'I think
this refers to issue #14...' Well that might be the
answer. Anyway if you still mean the bug is there
please write me again, and we will take a closer look
at it - ok!
Finally I'll try to keep up the quality in the future
aswell. Stay FUNKY pal.

BIZ KID

The following one were most probably meant for me
alone, but I choose to bring it here aswell. Read my
answer and you'll understand why!

--------------------------------------------

Dear SKYHIGH staff!

Some charts were filled with very old-fashioned
style or ..... without sense!! (He is talking about the
the sheet he filled - Ed!)
Sorry for that, but just yesterday I finished my
army service and I'm a bit out of scene.. I hope you
forgive me some nonseness, I lost 18 months of my
life in the stupid army.. Sorry..
And - if you can put my addy in next issue, ok?
Thanx!

Viper/Agony Design

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Special greetings to Biz Kid 4 his great idea of anti
nazi demo! Keep it up, man!

That's it ! Viper

Yo Miroslaw.

First of all : welcome back in the scene my friend!
18 months is quite a long time to be away from the 64
scene, so don't worry about your votes. I know that
Caprice will only count the valid ones anyway.
Well I made an exception this time and put your addy
in this chapter aswell. The reason is that I wanted to
give you a helping hand to reach your old (and new!)
contacts a bit faster!! Be sure to find it in the addy-
chapter aswell..

Thanx for the nice words about the anti-nazi demo !
I'll share it together with my cool Swedish pal DEVIL
of F4CG/NOICE?? with whom I got the idea!!

Ok, once again : welcome back my friend!!!

BIZ KID

--------------------------------------------

Check out da next one!!

--------------------------------------------

Cool mag, but not many articles!!

Fiend/Albion/Undying/Mystic

Yo ho Gregory!

Thanx for the long reaction from you - he he!!
Well I don't know how old your reaction is, but I got
a feeling that it's not damn hot. What I mean is that
since the previous issue, there's become much more
co-editors, and with that more articles.
So I believe that, that problem has been taken care
of.
See, you are not the only one who has complained
about too less articles, so we're working on it.
Ok, best of luck to you!!

BIZ KID

--------------------------------------------

Is the chart-system not up to date ? Here's a dude
with a suggestion to change something a bit. Take it
away Pablo.

--------------------------------------------

Yo Biz Kid!

Maybe time to do msx charts more objective?
How? Just do 2 categories :

-LEGENDS -(NOWADAYS) most active dudes

Well time to give a chance 4 newcommers, and don't
miss old msx'ers like Reyn Ouwehand, Ben Dalglish,
JCH, Jeroen Tel and so on.
They still live in noters, demos etc...

A reader

Pablo/Fatum/Gothic

Yo Pawel!

I might say that you have a good point there my pal!
On the other hand then my idea of charts is to point
out the best of today, not the old'n'dead persons or
groups. Then again this can be prevented by making
categories with legends or all-times whatever..
I don't really know! What does you, the readers out
there, think about it ? Is this a way to do the charts
in the future? Lemme hear your voice.
Allright - stay phonkee my friend!

BIZ KID

--------------------------------------------

Following one, is from noone else than my cool Dutch
friend : Splatterhead! Bring it down - rene!!

--------------------------------------------

The Skyhigh was cool again, as usual! Also the new
gfx were nice. The chapter about piracy contained
some incomplete informations though, e.g. a bluebox
is not always hardware, most people use(d) a soft-
ware bluebox! And cards can also be obtained via
other ways than corrupt operators..
Ok, props for all the work, keep it up!

Splatterhead/SCS+TRC

Yo-ho Rene!!

Another killersheet from you. I always rip the sheet
out of the package every time I get a sending from u.
This one were no dissapointment either.
First I would like to shout out thank you for the
nice words about the mag/gfx. About the Pirate BBS
chapter; Well as you know then I don't really know
much about the board scene. Actually I thought that
bluebox always were a hardware gizmo. And the cards
well I sure had a feeling that you could organize 'em
in another way than through corrupt operators, but
as mentioned in the chapter then all I did was to
translate the text!!
But I appriciate that you're telling it to me anyway.
Maybe you would like to do a chapter about it for me,
or you know someone who would like to help me out
with such a chapter?
Ofcourse I'm not looking for any names or specific
techniques to bluebox etc.. What I would like to know
something about is the basic idea of how/what they
do, and especially some background story! With that
I mean, some stories from the board world, or stuff
like that!

If anyone out there have such knowledge and would
like to share it with the scene, then don't hesitate
contacting me at this addy :

BIZ KID/CAMELOT

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Ok, Rene, once again thanx for the reaction, it really
made me happy. -No shit!!!

Allright, stay phonkee homes!!

BIZ KID

--------------------------------------------

Following reaction could be from me. Say what ???
Well the person who wrote it has 'JJ' as handle, and
as everybody might know then this is also my initials.

Or maybe he's simply inspirated by :
Double Jay - Jeff Jarrett from WWF!!!

--------------------------------------------

Hi!

Your magazine remains - number one - for quality
and I think you have a good balance of feature
articles.
However I still see no need to dedicate chapters in
any magazine, to slag somebody off - even on the
grounds of a defence of some sort. All these mat-
ters could be settled behind the scenes and this I
believe would promote a more positive air, which in
turn is condusive to peace.

Anyway, I really appriciated the 'Deadline' demo,
and now proudly own the original.

Take care,

Simon Reece

Yo Simon.

Thanx for your reaction. Nice to hear that you like it
so much. It's also great to hear that the 'balance' of
text is good!
About the socalled 'slagging' ! Well I must admit that
you're absolutely right. Problems should be worked
out between the implemented parts and NOT as I did
in a magazine. I just got so pissed off, and wanted to
fight back. But still it felt good! Still though I think
you are right.
So you liked the Deadline demo! I guess my good pal
Phil (who coded it) will be happy to hear that, and to
hear that you bought a copy!
-Well I think that's it. Good luck with Powerage.

Does the name Gigabyte ring a bell. Well here he is
again.

--------------------------------------------

Yo Jesper (Din beskidte kamel!)

Thanks for providing once a totally stunning issue
of Skyhigh... Issue 15 was a corker.
The new outfit is ruling cool.. Was I just dreaming,
or was it a naked girl I saw while the chapter were
loading (erh..one see what one WANT to see...)
Well, Jesper, I just want to wish you the best with
releasing your magazine in the future..

Yours sincerly

Gigabyte/No Name

Yo Christian..

Beskidte kamel!!!! Jeg skal gi' dig skal jeg.. he - he!!
For those who don't understand danish I better give
a small explanation :
Biz Kid is prounounced almost like the danish word :
BESKIDT, which means something like dirty. The other
word, KAMEL, shouldn't be that hard to figure out.
So actually Christians start his note by saying I am
a DIRTY CAMEL..... He really got balls - eh!!!

Well back to the reaction. Thanx for your nice words
Christian. You talked about a naked women. Hmmmm I
haven't seen any naked women in my mag, so I guess
you must have been dreaming - he he!! Or maybe your
version has a bug!!
Anyway, nice to hear that you like the improved out-
fit. I got the feeling that other small improvements
might be installed in the future, so better watch out.
Ok I'm outta here - stay cool Christian.

BIZ KID

--------------------------------------------

Another guy has returned to the scene. Now under a
new name but anyway - read on!!

--------------------------------------------

After I'd come back into the scene a few months be
fore I've asked Scare/Neoplasia/Lepsi about news
in scene. A few days later I got a sending from him
including your mag.
At first I were surprised why you changed group
from Oxyron to Camelot.Then I want to say that the
outfit of the mag is cool. In my opinion there should
be more grafix, but it's pretty cool. Keep it on!

Now I don't have more to say, and signing off..

Yours rainer

Yo Rainer.

First I would like to welcome you back in the scene.
I like to hear that when asked for news, you get my
magazine - that really rule, he he!!!
So you were surprised to see me changing group! Hmm
to tell you the truth then I never thought it would
happend, but I was wrong. Nevertheles I don't regret
having changed. Not that I have any probs with the
Oxy's, not at all. No what I mean is that now all the
group members are pure Danes, which means cheaper
phonebills for a start. No serious that's not the real
reason. Get hand on some of the old isssus of this
mag and see what happend!
You talked about more gfx... Hm, where do you want
that gfx? At the moment you have gfx in the menu,
in the textoutput part and even in the 'Extras' now
and then! Please tell me what you mean, because I do
not really know what yoo mean.
Ok. stay phonkee, and be sure to find Skyhigh in the
future aswell.

BIZ KID

--------------------------------------------

I have often asked for ideas for improvements for
Skyhigh. Next one is full of ideas. And who is the pal
providing them ? Well read on to find out!

--------------------------------------------

Hello BK and the readers!!

Here is Jer on da paper, crying continues! (hah !)
Here is again a new uprage list for SKYHIGH! just
read it.

- 36-42 tracks using loader system. Which makes
it possible to use all possible disk space on disk :
96 blocks, 24 kb, 24576 bytes, it's usefull for
notes, etc, (see 41 track formatter/Fatum!!)

- Please make SKYHIGH bootable on C128!, by using
'Vorpal' etc. I love those tools which boots on my
C128 automatically.

- Please do something about there's only 'three' 3
muz in your magazine!

- What about doing scans for SKYHIGH font, it would
nice!

I hope there were enough this time, but next time I
will surprise you with sum kewl ideas!

Ps : SKYHIGH is personal high quality magazine! But
I'm afraid of your activing in future.

I haven't got more to say, except : 'C64 for ever'

Jer

Yo Jari!

Thanx for another reaction from you. Once again you
managed to come up with more ideas.
Well, why don't I just jump right in!

36-42 tracks. What's the use ? So far there is always
enought space for a note on the disk. I can't fill an
entire disk (or rather I haven't filled an entire disk)
yet, so I don't really see the use of it. If Skyhigh
should grow bigger and demand more space, it would
be the next step I presume. Btw, how can you format
36-42 tracks with an 41 track formatter - he he!!

Bootable on the C128.. Hmmm, why? I've never really
played around with a C128 so I don't really know it!
Furthermore, then I thought that everybody who own
one always used the C64 mode; but I guess I was
wrong. Well what do the crowd say ?

More music - Only 3 tunes!!!!
Hmmm, I think I have heard this before, haven't I!!
Ok, once more just for you!! I am only going to use 3
exclusive tunes (+ an oldie) for each issue - sorry!!
That's the way I like it. BUT.... If I ever want to use
more tunes the outfit is prepared for it (up 'till 256
tunes I believe!!!!)

Finally; scanning an font for SKYHIGH. Well yeah why
not! I like the idea, but to be honest then I really
like the one I'm using right now. So if it's gonna hap-
pend then it will be in the future. A cewl idea though!

Ok that's it my friend! Once again thanx for the idea,
just let'em keep comming. Good luck pal!!

BIZ KID

Ps: what do you mean by saying that you are 'afraid
of my activing in the future' ??? Please tell me next
time!

--------------------------------------------

The last one for this time is from Hungary. Actually
it was send to Mad via Internet and then printed out
and send to Denmark. So you might say that this note
has been travelling a bit. Stop the nonsense and go
on!!

--------------------------------------------

Hello Biz!

I got Skyhigh #16 last week, and I was very pleased
with it. Nice design, cool zax, correct code ( I most
ly liked the proportional upscroller, coz it simply
kixx!)
This improved outfit is quite important, but I think
the MATTER is the most important in a mag... and
that's exactly why I read Skyhigh.
Lot's of articles, varied text, so all what sceners
needs. ( I read the interview with The Mistress...
what a girl! *grin* (hm, I mean woman!) It took me
some time until I found my jaw.. (it fell down on the
floor..hehe) Ok get back to Skyhigh :)
It was a great idea to add the 'extras' corner to
the mag... those pictures (like MAD's one) and the
other things extend the mark of Skyhigh. So the fi-
nal conclusion is : your mag ROOLZ!
I agree with you that thos mag doesn't need any
lame CD- or film-reviews, 'coz (in my opinion) if
someone wants to read about such things, he could
buy f.e. a Bravo and spank his monkey....
I've some suggestions for you, too... It would be
nice if Skyhigh contained an 'Internet Corner' (like
in my other favourite mag, Driven), coz I guess
there's a lot a scener would be interested in...
Last : keep up your good work in making Skyhigh, I
am waiting for further issues.

VIC/COMA (a Hungarian phreaker)

Yo Victor.

Yiiieeeehaaaaarhhhh... what a nice reaction from you.
Thanx for all the nice words about Skyhigh. It felt
good to hear them. Also good to hear that you like
the way I choose the texts for an issue. Yes I myself
think that Skyhigh has a proper and varied scale of
text now.
About The Mistress!!! Yeah isn't she something!! ( See
Elvira, you just know what we men/boys like - he he
that's the spirit - Biz kid!!)
Well back to the answer; another thing that made me
really happy is that you like the extras corner...
I personally feel that it adds the final flavour to my
mag, so it's nice to see it appriciated.
And finally : your suggestion for improvements!!
'Internet Corner' - What a cool idea... Unfortunately
SHOUT has something similar in their mag, but then
again it shouldn't matter at all. It's a free world you
know.
The problem is that I haven't got any experience (or
modem/account) to Internet what so ever, but.....
If I could find a volunteer for the job, I would do it.
Hmmmmmm, who could I think of?? WHAT about you???
Well let me know - right... I would be honoured to see
some text from you... You know how to contact me...

Ok my friend - stay cool, and remember :

FRIENDSHIP RUULZ

--------------------------------------------

Ok that's all I have for this time. Please give me a
note or a letter telling me what you think about the
work we're putting in this magazine. It doesn't matter
if it good or bad critizism, as long as you can explain
what you mean.
You know where to send it!!! - L8r! Biz kid!
