   1 Oh boy, all this recent mag workis playing hell with my amount  of sleep. I might be appearing  in Sinclair User this month or  next with an article on Play By Mail. There might even be a     chance of a regular column too!

   1 No, adventures were invented  to make magazine editors rich   and also to raise the blood     pressure of half the computing  world. It's no wonder that we goback to blasting, gobbling and  decking for a bit of relaxation.

   1 Enough of this big headedness and onto this months subject.   What can I prattle on about in  this months issue? I  could try something about ADVENTURERS     themselves. O.k. that's that    settled.
