                           SIXTH BIRTHDAY!! 

                     WHADDYA MEAN, WHAT KEPT YOU!

Heyho,  and  another  one  out of the way at last..  It's another  huge 
issue,  at  least  by our terms,  we really should get around to  doing 
these  a  bit more often perhaps..  This one almost broke a  couple  of 
chairs  whilst I was getting it together,  and yes,  we've had to leave 
some articles out until next time.. So no Lynx reviews just yet!

Well,  what  to  say..  This issue was finished over the weekend of the 
5th-7th July 1996,  a little bit later than even I had planned for,  as 
we  were waiting for certain last minute contributions..  No complaints 
there, and I'm very grateful, but these things can't be rushed..

Putting  it all together was a laugh,  and honed my deductive powers to 
Sherlock  Holmes  level,  as  on  the Friday night,  Mr Random  and  Mr 
Untraceable  visited my Falcon when I was transferring the Falcon  data 
files to floppy..  A massive initial panic ensued when Maggie Twenty no 
longer  worked from Floppy.   A couple of hours of trying to guess what 
the problem was,  and blaming each different component in turn,  led me 
to compile it again,  and this time it worked!! At about 2.30-3.00am in 
the morning,  I was not in the mood to break out the victory champagne, 
and staggered to bed.. 

Saturday morning sees this finish off ok,  and so on Saturday night,  I 
turn  to  deal with the ST version..  Things go swimmingly until I  hit 
upon  an interesting Directory bug in 1stWord Plus at about 1am  whilst 
bashing  the  textfiles into some sort of (72 column)  shape  that  the 
Delta  Force displayer can deal with..  It is really too late for  that 
sort  of  thing so I go to bed again..  Finally,  and working against a 
Felice arriving very shortly time limit on the Sunday night,  I'm doing 
the very last bit of all, which happens to be this README file..

Pause for doorbell..

Felice  now  happens to be here,  and is suggesting that I include  the 
Titan Web site press release in here.. Which I will now do..

Here comes a very last minute thing for Titan/Black Scorpion fans..

Maggie  Twenty  is another of those landmark issues..  Just  about  all 
recent  issues  happen to be celebrating some sort  of  anniversary  or 
other.. It is only a couple of issues ago that we were celebrating year 
five,  and  now this is the sixth birthday issue..  Are we in danger of 
being weighted down by too much nostalgia and past heritage??

Ok, Time to go..

We must apologise for the poems!! They were not my idea!!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

A couple of quick notes for Falcon users..

VGA  users,  why  not try this issue of Maggie with an RGB  monitor  or 
television, you'll get to see the very nice Avena intro which otherwise 
auto-detects a VGA screen and skips over into the main issue prog..

Thanks to Lazer for permission to use one of their mods for this issue, 
but we really ran low on space this time :-((

That's really it for now..
