From The Editor

s the warm rays of

summer sun shine

down on the world

outside, and as

many of you enjoy

your vacations, the

staff here at CW

have been busy

cooking up another hoi issue. This time, however,

we'vehadsomeexlra help. We'repleased iowelcome

JeniferIsiletoourstafivandwe'recertain

that wilh this new addition, we'll be

able to the improve the quality of

Commodore World while meeting the

rigorous schedule that keeps your issues

showing up at regular pace.

As mosl of you are aware, we've been

placing all new subscribers and re

subscribers into our Subscription

Sweepstakes.Sadly,allgoodthingsmust

come toan end, and the drawing is nowclosed.The

good news, however, is that thirty-two ofour lucky

subscriberswillfindiheirsubscriplionnumberlucked

awayinthepagesofthisissue.Sinceourdatabaseguru

hasrandomlygeneratedonlythesubscribernumbers

directly from our database, even we didn't know (lie

namesofthewinnersuntillookingthemupafterthey

were drawn.

So. how can you find out ifyou're one ofthe lucky

winners? Take a peek al the winner's circle found

within thepagesofthis issueand...HEVI HOLD ON!

Theleastyoucould do isfinish reading the rest ol my

editorial before you go ripping through the pages

lookini!for those numbers!

DEAD CDlVIPUTenS

In a recent phone conversation with Jeff Jones of

Loadstar,IwassaddenedIohearthat manyoftheusers

who opted not to renew their Loadstarsubscription

citedthattfaeydidnotdosobecausetheircomputerno

longer worked, and they didn't know where to gel il

repaired. It's understandable that we lose numbers

tootherplatformsforvariousreasons,butthereare

severalreputablemail-orderrepairlacililiesleft,

and no doubt even more local ones we

don't know about. You will

probably hearmoreaboul

thisfrom IeftJoneshimsell,

but I think we should all help

him in collecting and

disseminating information on

any and all repair lacilities lell.

Tothat mil,ifyouknowofany

companies that repair

Commodore Computers, jot

down the name, address, and

phone number, and send the

informalion toJeffal Loadstar. Ifyoo don't

have Loadstafs address, send ihe info to my

attention here at Commodore World, and I'll

be happy to passit along toJelT.
