Genie & Lamp Feb97 2/20
Hello News!
>>>>>>>>>> CSplit: Version 2.2 >>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> CSplit: Begin part 2/20 >>>>>>>>>>
you could say my resolution is to make sure GenieLamp lives up to its \
quality
standard.
Now to see about getting the day extended to thirty hours. . .
[*][*][*]
Sometimes, you get Christmas presents from unexpected shores. As
\
many of
you know, _GenieLamp A2Pro_ is no longer being published. What you may
\
_not_
know is that before there was a _GenieLamp A2Pro_, _GenieLamp A2_
covered happenings in _both_ the A2 and A2Pro RoundTables on GEnie. I
had toyed \
with
the idea of incorporating some A2Pro coverage into _GenieLamp A2_ again,
\
but had
thought that it might be best to first get my feet wet in trying to
continue what we had going already before expanding.
So it came as a very pleasant surprise when, on December 30, 1996,
a package arrived in email from my favorite Australian programmer. I \
unwrapped it
to find what turned out to be a special Christmas present for the
readers of _GenieLamp A2_.
Richard Bennett, the world famous programmer of _Express_, \
_GraphicWriter
III_, the _Spectrum_ ANSI display, and an assortment of other Apple II
\
products,
had taken the time to skim the A2Pro Bulletin Board over the last few \
months and
compile a selection of choice postings for presentation in GenieLamp. I
was blown away by the effort he had made with his busy schedule. My
thanks, Richard, and I'm sure that the readers of _GenieLamp A2_ will
thank you as \
well.
[*][*][*]
It's been pretty common that _GenieLamp A2_ has had some great
guest writers, but in this issue, we welcome a true celebrity to our
electronic \
pages:
Max Jones, editor and publisher of _Juiced.GS_, the Apple IIgs specific
newsletter, has contributed a special column for this issue.
I've been writing a regular column for Max since the first issue
of _Juiced.GS_, and I had the pleasure of meeting Mad Max in person at \
Kansasfest
1996, along with a bunch of other Apple II luminaries. Max went from \
being a
total newcomer on the Apple IIgs scene to a well-known publisher of a
well-respected publication in less than a year. I'm sure he'd agree
that \
life
hasn't been the same since.
It's been often said that the Apple II was the computer that
changed \
the
world. Publishing _Juiced.GS_ certainly changed Max's world, and
writing \
for
_Juiced.GS_ certainly changed mine. Here's hoping that Max's column in
this issue changes your world too.
[*][*][*]
Another columns update: I had hoped to have the FILE BANDWAGON
column \
back
in this issue; it's not. I'm hoping to have it back again next issue,
but whether or not that will happen remains to be seen (I don't like the
taste \
of
leather enough to have it every month).
And Peter Brickell's still dealing with The Real World, so REAL
WORLD \
APPLE
continues on hiatus.

A couple of days ago, someone (it may have been Mark Wade) posted a \
message in
the BB about wanting to see the Defender of the World game demo uploaded
\
here.
I've had this game demo on my hard drive since it was released as
freeware \
last
fall by author David Ong Tat-Wee of Singapore.
So, I packed it up in the proper format and uploaded to the A2 RT
Library \
this
evening (Wednesday). When it clears inspection, it should be available
for download as file #28252.
The game itself is far from finished, and it may never be finished. But
one level is playable, and portions of the other levels are available
for inspection. It =is= fun to tinker with. Too bad the author doesn't
