Sadly, in the few months since our last issue, we have once again lost some very good mates.

We've got our lovely Page 3 girl again, and some photos of courses from long ago, plus a couple of photos some thought, or perhaps hoped, had been lost.

We're sorry about the delay in getting this issue onto the streets, we'd
almost finished when the little Toshiba
Being the inquisitive type, we decided to delve into its innards and see if we could right the wrong, but, as you can see, we couldn't find a 6BL8 anywhere, it was beyond us so it was filed in the big circular bin.
So - down to the shops for a new Toshiba, and then we had to do most of the RAM all again, rotten job, but now it's finished, and yep....we've taken some of Sam's good advise and installed the Autosave Backup system he talks about on Page 4 - and it works a treat.

Index
We get quite a few people asking whether we can make the Index interactive, that is, when you're looking for something, when you find it in the Index, just click the reference and the link will take you to that site. We agree, that's a good idea, but one helluva job. We've started on it, and eventually, as we get a bit of spare time, it will all be done.
