<pre> ELECTRONICS

by GURU/TSR

before beginning this issue i would
to call for your opinion on my chapters.

i don't know whether alot (if any) are
interested in electronics enough to read
my chapter. i am open to suggestions.
should i concentrate of enhancing your
computer, other non-computer projects.

maybe you think i should redirect my
chapter and base it on something else
eg. programming in basic or ml
or maybe THE LINK needs a completely new
chapter based on something which has
nothing to do with the scene eg. cars.

if you have some ideas for this
chapter, please write a disk note, paper
note and send it to me at:

35 HILLSIDE CRES or ring me on
TERALBA NSW 2284 (049) 584682
between 5-9:30 pm

or write a suggestion on your votesheet!
now, back to electronics:

because of the limited drawing functions
of a text editor, it is difficult to
show even simple circuit diagrams that
as they tend to be unreadable.

so, today i will be explaining some
basic "hints and tips" regarding tv's
vcr's, computers etc.

as i said before, if you think i'm
wasting my time, please tell me.

. never put your video directly above or
below your tv or monitor. if you can't
avoid it, put a sheet of aluminium
foil between them

. the same applies to disks, computers,
tapes etc. in fact in is recomended
that you don't sit less than 2metres
away from your telly as "...prolonged
exposure to electromagnetic fields
can cause cancer."

. DON'T touch the joystick ports of your
computer, especially if your hand is
moist. the static in your body can -
permanantly stuff your computer up.
i have heard rumours of program which
instructs you to wet your finger and
rub the joystick port to 'play the
game'.

. don't turn on your computer with a
disk fully inserted in the drive. this
has been known to scramble data

. owners of 1571 drive should not close
the drive door with no disk inside,
it damages the 2 heads of your drive.

. speaking of heads, you shown clean
your drives heads every 6 months or so

. don't hit old capacitors with hammers
as the material inside them (pcb)
is high dangerous if you touch it. you
can get .. yes, you guessed it, cancer

. 15 or 30 min tapes are best for use
with - DATASETTES -.

. when you are using your parent's
streo, don't turn it up so far that
the music distorts (or in axl's case,
distorts more), this will break the
amp AND speakers AND will probably
cause CANCER

. if you own an amiga and you have alot
of accesories plugged in, feel your
power supply. if it's too hot, you
need one of my power supplies. they
are huge mother fuckers and will
really help your system. one of them
is running an a500 with 3 drives,
1 floptical drive, a 120 meg hd, 3 meg
ram and 2 monitors!

. if you own an amstrad computer, throw
it out, they give you cancer.

. buy rolf harris' cd version of
"stairway to heaven" and play until
your ears bleed. rolf is a great
aussie legend!!!

. don't plug in cartridges while the
computer is turned or you are asking
for trouble. a hell of alot of people
do this and it really can bust your
computer.

oh well

thats it

next issue i will maybe do a circuit,
maybe use one of the thousands of ideas
that will be sent in to me, or maybe
print a collection of tall stories and
humerous anecdotes about
"REAL PROGRAMMERS"

oh
but
until
then
it's

HOOROO FROM THE GURU!!
