I will not bother you with my feelings of love and affection to this girl again, although you should know that my love has not really grown less in recent times. So I will start getting down to business right away (Do mind: I hope you realise how much self-discipline this tends to take!). This issue is again dedicated to Willeke, but is launched to the honour of the birthdays of both ACC members; October 31st just happens to be a day quite in the middle of both Frank's birthday as well as my own. The greetings and thanks this time go to the following people:..........Stefan Posthuma: For writing very 'human-interested' articles for ST NEWS again, and for some amazing constructive criticism..........Mandy Brett (From Microdeal): For all the review software she sent me (By the way: Congratulations with your marriage!)..........Jonathan Ellis and his charming assistant Angela (From Psygnosis): For "Terrorpods"..........Jon Day (From Kuma): For meeting me at the Dsseldorf Atari Messe and for sending Kuma's new program "K-Roget"..........Mad Max (From "The Exceptions"): For writing the superb ST conversion of this issue's Commodore 64 music..........Frans Ottenhof (From Data Becker Nederlands): For finally getting down to business and sending review stuff..........Eli Maas (From the SAG): For allowing me to use a translated version of his MEGA ST article..........G DATA Software: For giving the "AS Sound Sampler II" software for review purposes..........ST Club Eindhoven: For letting me go to the Atari Messe with some more members, and for lending the SAM Digitizer to me so that I could digitize the most beautiful girl on earth..........Sue Winslow (From Telecom Software): For sending review material..........Math Claessens: For again solving a couple of adventures (now, I also know where he gets his inspiration: From his wife's cakes!)..........David Whittaker: For letting me interview him, calling me names and criticising my attitude towards Willeke (He shouldn't ever do that again!)..........Claus Brod: For extending some of his disk drive knowledge to us in this issue..........Thomas Maier (Tommy Software): For sending review products..........Willeke: For still inspiring me to great extend..........Mark van der Horst and Ruud van de Kruisweg: For enabling me to include the largest list of software to come out soon in this issue of ST NEWS..........Lucas van den Berg: For writing more of his excellent stuff..........Alexander Beller (From the Denise Team): For sending some PD demo stuff..........Adrie and Frank: For pushing me to the limit with regard to things I accept that are said with regard to Willeke..........Ken Butler (Being 62(!) years of age): For being our oldest faithful reader.........Gerardo Greco (Our Italian distributor): For writing a very nice article in this issue of ST NEWS..........Willeke (Again...): For mellowing my musical interest to bands like Genesis, The Sound, The Cult, Boston and The Simple Minds, next to the real heavy speed'n'trash stuff I always liked: Kreator, Destruction, and more hard core bands..........Shiraz Shivji (From Atari Corp., U.S.A.): For meeting both Gerardo Greco and myself, answering many questions and letting himself be interviewed..........The Exceptions (TEX): For starting with their new and even bigger demo - "B.I.G. Demo" (more details in this issue's "ST Software News" and "Did you know that...." columns) - that will flatten the demo world within two months..........Rob Hubbard: For writing all that terrific Commodore 64 music that I usually listen to on my '64 when wordprocessing on the ST..........Martin Galway: For the same reason I mentioned with Rob Hubbard (I just llllove "Parallax")..........Commodore: For making a terrific computer but giving it the worst possible support and service, thus allowing other computers (like our good old Atari ST) to take over..........Wilfred Kilwinger (From Atari Benelux): For giving me permission to use his original 'Secrets of the ST' articles for use in ST NEWS..........Harry van Horen (From Homesoft, Haarlem, The Netherlands): For sending review software and more..........Hans van der Linden: For finishing "Plutos" with me to level 14 (yes, Strike-a-Light, I know you went to 34 or something like that)..........Sabrina: For so nicely displaying her boobs in the "Boys, boys, boys" video clip..........AVRO (A Dutch television company): For finally deciding to broadcast the second "V" series, that I really like and that I had been waiting for ever since I saw parts of it in England some years back..........Atari: For not changing the MEGA ST in such a high degree that ST NEWS wouldn't work on it anymore..........Softpaquet: For additional pocketmoney..........Jeff Wayne: For "War of the Worlds"..........Steve van de Horst: For keeping his eyes open when visiting the PCW Show, and telling me of his adventures with regard to "Outrun" and "Enduroracer" for the ST..........John Forrest (From Electronic Arts): For always being in a meeting when I spent my hard earned money trying to call him, and finally arranging review status for ST NEWS there..............My calculator: For telling me that I have reached the 2.7th Megabyte of document information in this issue of ST NEWS, in a total of 3.7 Mb of offered ST NEWS on 10 single sided disks..........Jeremy White (From Wellington Atari Computer Enthusiasts): For becoming our 8th official distributor - in New Zealand (!)..........Frank Ostrowski (in spite of his arrogancy that I've talked about in this issue's article about the Atari Messe): For bringing out GfA Basic V2.02..........E. Scherer: For Gracia-Pro Print..........Veronica: For broadcasting the "Pin Up Club" on Dutch television (reason enough to start migrating to Holland, all you non-Dutch people!)..........Les Ellingham (From Page 6): For still working hard to sell ST NEWS as good as possible in the UK..........Everybody working at the Dutch post: For the frequent express delivery packages, many rainy days of post delivering and especially for taking longer than other country's postal services to deliver those express mailed packages to my place (4 days for a package from Germany really is too long, don't you think?)..........Venom, Kreator, Hellhammer, Slayer, Destruction, Iron Maiden, Yngwie Malmsteen, Deep Purple, Rainbow, Jean Michel Jarre, Het Goede Doel, Genesis, The Simple Minds, The Sound, The Cult, The Rolling Stones, Queensrche, Doug E. Fresh and Boston: For letting me enjoy their various musical styles..........Wilbert van Gerwen: For trying to make me do ST NEWS commercially in the future - needless to say, he didn't succeed - and for giving Frank his first windsurfing lessons..........1-2-3 Cafetaria (Nijmegen): For letting me moisten their sanitary fascilities..........Electronicaland (Den Bosch): For letting me use one of their MEGA ST4s for a while, so that I could thoroughly test ST NEWS and make sure it worked perfectly on this new and impressive machine..........Hans Schellekens: For being Eli's, Stefan's and my chauffeur recently..........Playboy Press: For the "Playboy's Book of Forbidden Words" (lent to me by Stefan Posthuma) - which is very funny and educational as well!!! And before I forget it: If you think ST NEWS is better than most other PD material, or if you just consider it worthy a donation, please immediately start donating any amount of money on giro account number 5060326 t.n.v. Richard Karsmakers, Helmond, The Netherlands. If you decide to do so, my eternal (and indeed everlasting) gratitude would be your part. It's about time to make an end to this scrolling message, as memory runs out.... Thank you for copying/buying/lending/whatever ST NEWS and remember..........who's still the most gorgeous girl on earth? -> OK, you've got it, Pal: Still Willeke!

Just in time to be launched, I hereby present to you "ST NEWS" Volume 2 Issue 7, officially launched on October 31st 1987 (read all about that 'officially' in the scrolling message). You might say you're lucky at all being able to read this, since I have gone through a period of sentimental and emotional valleys and mountains (so to speak) and my belly is acheing at this very moment. But you know that I will never let you, our faithful reader, down. This version contains some more documents then usual (at least, more capacity), a much faster page viewing mode and more similar things. Hope you enjoy it. The music is swell, again. This disk should be copied using "Fastcopy 2.0" ("Disk Def Info" YES), or any other copy program. "STCopy" non-protected, "ProCopy" protected. The disk is single sided, and formatted with 80 tracks (0-79) and 10 sectors per track. Have fun! Sincerely, Richard Karsmakers (Editor of "ST NEWS")
