Wow!  What a month April was!  First, Commodore started the month off with
a whimper and then followed with silence.  No one knows what's going on,
until the last day of the month, when they announce that they're going out
of business.  Details are sketchy as I write this, but a full report is in
the news section.

I had to sell my Amiga 4000/030.  Yuck!  I hated doing it, but I
had to.  (School tuition)  Packing my machine up was one of the hardest
things I've had to do.  I was proud of it for six months, but I guess all
good things must end.  As a result, I'm having a hard time getting good
quality screen shots for the magazine.  The Microcosm screenshots we ran
last issue were captured on a Video Toaster and then JPEG'd  (By someone
else, not me.)  I then converted them to GIF files and loaded them as
brushes into Personal Paint.  Without an AGA machine, I can't make good
256 color pics.  I'll see what I can come up with for the next issue.
This month's pic, a shot of the Insight: Technology package, was done on
a Migraph MS-1200 flatbed scanner.  
 
If you take a look in the Serial Port this month, you'll see a letter I
received over the Internet about the magazine being too small and too
infrequent (only monthly).  Well, I tried to increase the number of
reviews in this issue.  There's no way I can go to a biweekly magazine,
due to lack of actual material (CD³² games don't get released THAT often) 
and the fact that I just do not have the time.  Remember, you can
contribute reviews if you've got them!  Help me out!

Also, starting with this issue, I'm no longer including the Amiga Viewtek
program to view the pictures.  You should already have it from the first
two issues.  (If not, you can call my BBS and download the program or the
first two issues of CD³²View!)  Make sure the program is either in the
directory you put this magazine or in your command path.  If not, it's
no big deal, you just won't be able to view the pictures from inside the
newsletter.  If you have a GIF viewer of any kind, you can still view the
pictures manually.  (If you don't have an Amiga, don't worry, this doesn't
apply to you.  Non-Amiga owners HAVE to view the GIFs manually.)

I apologize for this issue being a little late.  Due to the scheduled 
conference on Compuserve concerning the Commodore Stockholders Movement,
I decided to delay the release of the magazine until after the conference
so as to be able to report what's going on and what happened.
