Commodore Worl_d Stolen!

Whoever it was that said, "It's always something..." was right

Scents like whenever we think things are going well, something

comes along to throw a wrench in it. A few weekends ago, as we were

all awayfrom the office, someone decided they liked some of our

office computers and other equipment. While they didn 't bother

taking anything thatsaid Commodore on it, theydidmake offwith a

couple of important systems, including the one used to produce

Commodore World. Luckily, we did have backups ofall the most

important data, but it took a few days togel replacementequipment,

get everything installedon it. andstartpulling ail the loose backups

togetherto re-create ourwork. Isuspectyou 'IIhearabout the break-

infrom othersourcesas well, so we wantedto letyou knowhere that

it wasn 7 too devastating, that there wasnothing taken that couldn '1

be replacedwith a littletime ormoney. Meanwhile, we 're keeping an

eye on the local pawn shops, and have had an advanced security

system installed to deterfuture repeats ofthis sad occurrence.

Now on to the issueat hand, orrather, theIssue inyourhands. This

was a tough issue to put togetherfor a couple ofreasons. Ofcourse,

the break-in was one; but a lot ofthe authors came in "long " {is we

say, andbecause ofthis we've hadto reduce the number ofcolumns

in this issue to fit everything in—despite going an extra 8 pages!

Hopefully those ofyou who livefor the columns that don 7appearin

thisissue won 7be tooangry with usforthat, andbearin mind—what

comes around, goes afount/... I suspect we'll boot a couple ofthose

that ran long this issue in one ofthe next two issues to make room for

longer versions ofthe missing columns.

Meanwhile. I hope all ofyou are having a good summer, and look

forward to hearing from you. Please do write!
