We've got
soother packed

this month, with
something tor
everyone.
Perhaps the
best offering
has to be the

G to l d
crammed with features to help you get the
D i s k
MOSi out of your word processing. it's
.
Incredibly simple to use, but possesses a
T
h
i
number of options which even the C100-plus
s
programs don't possess.
This month sees the start of a regular Art
Gallery slot to showcase the undoubted
artistic talent ol our readers. If you've dab-
bled with OPalat or any other art package for
that matter, we want to see the results.
Another new feature is our mammoth History
Of Computing series which takes a look at
the rise and rise of the home computer from
the humble M O through to the mighty
Amiga. Our potted history tour also takes in
the major developments of the last decade
oS well as detailing some of the less-than-
SeCcessiul ventures.
We've also got the second installments of
Graphics DIY and ow Octomed Pro tutorials
to help you get the most out of your Amiga.
But enough ol this sell-congratulatory back-
slapping, I hear you say, so I'll end on a
more serious note - the apparent closure of
the National Repair Centre. This has
undoubtedly caused a lot of concern to those
people who had sent off their Amigos for
repair. At the time of writing, its not really
clear exactly what the outcome will be, but
Commodore are pulling out all the stops to
SOWS that users don't get ripped off.
They've set up special advice lines to keep
you abreast of the latest developments, so
torn to page 1 for the number if you need to
give them a call to set your mind at rest.
They're currently setting up a deal with
another major repair outlit and we'll hope-
fully have more news for you next issue.
Until then, read and enjoy...

Once again, CU AMIGA leads the way in quality
coverdisks. Starting with Disk 38, you cannot have failed
to notice that we have secured a top-notch word proces-
sor for the disk, specially comissioned from Gold Disk.
Also finding its way onto the disk are a versatile spell-
checker, do-it yourself demo code and a whole drawer
full of samples for use with the OcteMED package (fea-
tured on last months disk). If you are security conscious
you'll be pleased to know we have also installed a
