Jamaica 08 ch01 Iopop's Editorial
From C64 Diskmag Wiki
iopop's editorial iopop ---------------------------------------- feel warmly welcome to another issue of jamaica. issues passes by and now we reached number 8. time goes fast. i just say that. and i belive that it is a standard thing for all mageditors. some- times the time just floates by. but as we finally released this issue why bother about time. you have the eight issue of jamaica in your drive! this time it's more powerfull then ever. read the chapter THE OUTFIT for some more info's about that matter. i guess the load-menue system is good to have and i hope that some other mags follow this idea and make their mags more powerfull and flexible. it's abit strange that no one have used that before. but it's one thing that is bad. what happens when i upgrad the system and add some functions that don't work on lower issues. well, that's what it cost to make such system. but remember that COLOR DRAW V4.0 on pc can't load pictures that was made in the V3.0 of the same program and that's LAME! so, in the future i recomend you to have the latest version of jamaica in your memory as that version will be compatible with all versions from this issue and up until we stop produce this mag. there is blowing right winds on the computer scenes. people who thinks that they are the best, the priortated ones and so on are giving our computer scene bad reputation. yes, i guess you know what i talking about. NAZI'S fucking nazi's! and first of all i must inform you that JAMAICA as a mag and jam as a group are totally against this kind of ideologys. and that can i say without asking any other member! i haven't think about the matter that nazi's using computers will give a bad reputation for all other computer useres, until i read INGENIOUS BRAIN issue 3. there it was an artilce about that. but i wonder how can these low- intelegent people know if a dude is black or white, or what his religion is? it's no logic in that. but to have boards which support extrme-right is not good for anyone excpet the ones that is using them. for the computer scene it will cause that the society,that you are living in will have a wrong picture of computers. and to this is also counting CHILD-PORNOGRAPHY! some weeks/months the only time they mentioned something about computers. (not as playing machines but as that form of computing that we do) they only said that, that sertain dude was accused for having child-pornography and extreme right things on his boards. it's time to show the society the best part of the computer scene. the DEMOS! demos must be the art of the 90's, if it's not newthinking in the art what will happen then? some day's ago the OLYMPIC GAMES was inaugurated, in the inaugural speech someone, which i don't remember who it was, wanted a silent moment for the ones fighting in ex-yugoslavia. and he even asked them to stop fighting. now nato want's to bomb the whole place in pices but will it happen?it could be the start of the world war 3! i think it's hard for us in the "RICH-WEST" to realise how it is for the ones in that country. for example i don't even care when they say on the news that 3 where killed down there. during the gulf war lots of hate- demos where made about SADDAM HUSSEIN. but this time not many people cared and i think i know why. do you really know what they are fighting for? do you know why they started to fight? i DON'T! as we don't know who we can blame then it's harder to make demos like thoose kill saddam demos. in the end of SNEAKERS when everybody can wish what they want. you might remember the blind he said: i just want peace. if you compere his wish with the others, his wish sounds little. but i guess nobody will give it to him. what will happen to the world in the future? do you know? do i know? i know one thing. everything good that the human have greated is used bad. or to have illegal profits. look at computers!!!! hehehe.. this not so scene related editorial but much more important have come to it's end. but if this chapter is the first chapter you read. i just hope the rest of the mag will be a reading pleasure or you. peace my friend!
