Well if anyone wants me to get them an issue (and even autograph it!) then let me know!

They are indeed not easy to get.  None of the bookstores near me sell this magazine.  I had to mail order issues 103 and 104 and it seems 103 got lost in the mail!  The publisher said they'd send me another copy but I have to give it until next week to give it a full 28 days.  In any case, I wouldn't mind having you get it for me, Laird.  :)

I have to go into the nearest big town to buy it as I live in a village but when I go I will pick you one up.

You should get yourself a subscription, you would save yourself a lot of money!!!

Thanks!  I'm thinking of doing the electronic subscription.  I can read the issues on my tablet.  That saves me money and storage room!  LOL

If somebody would like to post this on Jaguar Sector II, Atari Age and Atari-Forum (in the ST sections) I would be grateful as I refuse to go near the places.

I posted it on AA. Retro Gamer Revolution, and on the Vector Games forum I visit.  JSII appears to be down right now.

You're welcome!  RGV is another retro gaming forum.  It is supposed about all game systems, much like we are here, but there seems to be more talk about Intellivision.  It is somewhat quiet there but I've been  on it for about a week.  Here is a link to it:  http://www.retrogamingrevolution.com/ (http://www.retrogamingrevolution.com/)

Oh right, an American based one cool!  ???

They seemed to have missed out Falcon too but sometimes it takes a while to get a forum just right, we have changed this place a few times now.

I am not sure how long that forum has been in existence but it certainly needs influx of active folks.  Right now it almost feels like there is only three of us posting there!

Well done Keiran, I have not read it all yet, but I am sure that any one that is getting your goat is quietly impressed with your effort.

Its interesting that Darrans preface to the whole mag was just about joining the forum and asking for submitions.

Thanks mate. A couple of tards have given negative responses, one said it was boring, but the feedback has mostly been very good.

Hopefully they will give me some more big articles to get my teeth into.

Well done fella. Let them have there say. Feedback is always good if it's constructive. We all learn from that to make us and things in general better. Sadly some of them just do it out if spite.

Well, the trolls over on AA are turning the thread where I posted this into their party.  And it was started by a moderator!  I am so pissed I want to report the moderator!  I just know it is a waste of time, though.

What bothers me the most is that the whole thing was started by a moderator (you can guess who it is).  I find that to be so inappropriate!

Yeah I saw, you do know that Sauron is Albert's best friend don't you?

Thats why he was able to get people like me, chickybaby, Gorf and DreamcastRIP banned.

I did not know that.  No wonder he gets away with murder.

Just isn't worth the hassle, that place is totally corrupt.

The Jaguar forum is just a propaganda filled hate centre.

Well, and it is easy to see who the trolls are since they vote each other up.

okay..I purchased Retro gamer today..and have read Laird Atari ST Article..and I have to say..6 god dam pages of Atari Goodness..I'm so pissed to why this was not at least 10 pages long like they have donated to crapper subjects in the past..it really brought back the warm fuzzy feeling I had when I had my ST in front of me, I really feel they didn't give Laird enough pages to covered this ..I can definitely feel the edits in the read, as I know you had to chop lots out, I reckon you should post the DVD extras for that article here firstly before RG forums, if you get a chance.. again fantastic writing and really only to me more of an introductory than a full blown cover story you should of been allowed to do in the first place..I could of read about the ST all day if it would of being possible, but then again, that would be the perfect world.

Again great work dude, I really do hope they let you loose again!#

Nice to see that it's still getting great feedback.

I am both baffled and amused to see that there is no mention of it at all on Atari Forum, the only forum that is dedicated to the ST  :o
