The C= 64 has issues with being able to update colour info fast enough (which the C= 128 did a fix for). Never heard about this and can't really say I understand what it is about. Do you mean something like the colourclash on the Spectrum? It is exactly like the 16/48K ZX in that it has a single fi...

What on earth is an Alice 32/90?

The CPC needs to use a lot of its memory for the display, and so sprites will also be bigger. Hence it also needs to use a lot of processing power to update the display. OTOH it has no placement restrictions to work around. Possibly it should also find use for having only 2 pixels per byte. The C= 6...

I got #193 on Tuesday, 32 days after 192.
EDIT: And newsagent got it end of same week.

This... needs some words.
A bit of a special for us oldtimers and greybeards this round. Much appreciated. It's been a long time since I had so much content that was ticking my boxes.

And for how long do you intend to live by osmosis instead of eating foodstuffs? (Or did you win the lottery?)

So I got a "time to renew your sub" mail. Looking up my user at the web site only shows an EDGE sub. Cue mail to subs. *Crickets* So it's just an automated mailing system without anyone really reading the mail? Let me be positive here for once: I got mail back from subs. After a follow-up mail they...

I thought this might cheer up the crew: For once I plan to read the main feature first! (My reading stack is nicely stocked at the moment though.)

#191 elected to grace me with its presence today. No re-mailer info, apart from "Orangepost" with a Norwegian address. Possibly a tad late.
EDIT: Local newsagent has it already. (I.e. 7th)
EDIT2: EDGE #330 arrived 15th.

Is it really Stoo - that isn't some pet/nick name?

The Powers That Be might ponder upon this: It has been many many issues since the first thing I read upon opening the magazine was the main story.
