SPREAD DA WORD<br />
<br />
Once again jam-packed with public announcements<br />
for and from the scene. Maybe someone remember the<br />
previous issue and its 'Spread da word'.. Last time I<br />
made a mistake and deleted the chapter so I had to<br />
write it all over again. But his time I have been more<br />
carefull, so you should better be ready.<br />
Ok let's get it started.<br />
<br />
--------------------------------------------<br />
The first one is from an old scener who have a great<br />
offer for all of you who have a Pc and a CD-rom. But<br />
why don't you check it out yourself ??<br />
--------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
Have you ever looked at your hundreds of C64 disks<br />
sitting in the corner of your room and thought to<br />
yourself "I wish I could have all those files in one<br />
place"<br />
<br />
Well now is your chance, we have spent the past 6<br />
months slowly transferring Bod's entire C64 collec-<br />
tion over to the PC to blow onto CD-Rom.<br />
<br />
Now you have a chance to own a copy of this CD-Rom.<br />
The CD contains 600mb of data including:<br />
<br />
4400+ Games dated from 1982 to 1995<br />
7700+ Demos and Magazines from 1985 to 1995<br />
700+ Utilities. Everything you could ever think of.<br />
<br />
The newest files on the CD are those I received this<br />
weekend (14/4/95). Also many Tools in Amiga/PC for-<br />
mat to manipulate/convert the images between for-<br />
mats and to/from your 1541.<br />
<br />
This is a great investment for any C64 user whether<br />
your still active or just for nostalgia purposes.<br />
<br />
All the files on the Cd are in C64S (PC) .D64 format<br />
but and transferrable to any format you require in-<br />
cluding to yer 1541<br />
<br />
If you are interested in getting a copy of this great<br />
CD for yourself, you can place an order by doing the<br />
following.<br />
<br />
The CD will cost 35 pounds. We can't accept payment<br />
by personal cheques. Pay by Cash or Money Order to<br />
the value of35 P ounds. I advise a Money Order which<br />
are available worldwide from your local postoffice<br />
or bank. Make sure you send UK Pounds and NOT your<br />
local currency.<br />
<br />
Make the Money Order payable to "XXXXXXXXXXXXX"<br />
and mail it to this address :<br />
<br />
<br />
High Voltage,<br />
XXXXXXXXXXXXX<br />
<br />
The CD will be shipped to you within 24 hours of re-<br />
ceiving your order.<br />
<br />
This is a genuine offer and not some scam to get your<br />
hard earned cash. After being involved in the C64 for<br />
so long I am just happy that I can now give all you<br />
great Crackers/Coders/Musicians etc something<br />
back for all the enjoyment you have provided me<br />
over the years.<br />
If you know Bod/Talent personally then feel free to<br />
contact him to ask if this is a hoax. He was the one<br />
that pushed me to get the CD completed.<br />
<br />
If you have an Internet Account then feel free to<br />
leave me mail with any questions you have to:<br />
<br />
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX<br />
<br />
This order is available up until the 13th of september<br />
1995. So you have 5 months to place your order. I<br />
hope you agree that the CD is a good idea.<br />
<br />
Lastly if you also need a cable to connect your PC<br />
to your C64 drive I can supply you with one of those<br />
also. I can only supply PC cables &amp; not Amiga<br />
The PC to C64 Drive (1541/1581) cable costs10 pounds.<br />
Just send a money order for the appropriate amount<br />
and a letter stating you want the CD &amp; cable.<br />
Cable and CD totals 45 pounds<br />

--------------------------------------------<br />
Next one is another sad story. Another old legendary<br />
group are dead. Which one you ask! Well read on and<br />
find out!<br />
--------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
THIS IS A NOTE FROM SHUZE ALPHAFLIGHT<br />
<br />
It has become apparant to me over the recent<br />
months, that after Steve of Avantgarde and Laser<br />
quit the scene, the group LASER, of which I am now<br />
the leader, will not get back to its feet.<br />
<br />
I tried, but I am not cut out for the leader material.<br />
I do not wish to pass the leadership over, as all the<br />
current members are too new to the group, so, as of<br />
the 1st of may 1995, I, Shuze, declare LASER dead,<br />
something I should have done a few months ago.<br />
<br />
Laser was the longest surviving cracking group of<br />
ALL TIME on any system, having been around since<br />
1983, When steve started it on the c64, but since<br />
about 1980 on the old Atari machines. that is no more.<br />
<br />
<br />
The Laser member status before I declared da group<br />
dead was:<br />
<br />
SHUZE (now in Alphaflight)<br />
JP (now in Mayhem)<br />
KHAN (now in Avalon)<br />
JUPITER (now in Powerage and Dle)<br />
EDDIE THE HEAD (now groupless (I think))<br />
RAZOR RAMON (now in Bronx/Lepsi)<br />
<br />
And that is it.<br />
<br />
I hope you realise what a bad time this is for the<br />
scene, and will spread this file, and use it in your<br />
magazines, just so that everyone knows. i can be con<br />
tacted for swapping, both legal and illegal, and for<br />
anything concerning SKYHIGH at this address :<br />

Hmmm, god knows what went wrong.. I have choosen to<br />
believe that they are all active. Becoz if they have<br />
left I presume they would have sent out a final send<br />
to let me know they quitted.<br />
But then again, maybe I'm wrong !!!<br />
<br />
I hope to hear from you soon - my friends..<br />
<br />
--------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
Once more I would like to ask all the composers out<br />
there to think about doing a tune for me and Skyhigh!<br />
I have just been on the phone with Echo of Plush and<br />
he promised to do a sending with some, immidiately.<br />
Hmmm. let's see if he really does (he he, Kay!!)<br />

have anything you want to tell, or inform the scene<br />
about then don't hesitate sending me a note. Ya know<br />
where to send it!<br />
<br />
