Dear folks at CD32View,
I recently downloaded issue 2 of your magazine and was quite
impressed by it! Good job! I only have two regrets: 1> Another month
is too long to wait! (I already downloaded and read last month's...)
2> One picture isn't enough!
I am very impressed with the philosophy of your magazine (no
bickering about which system's better; focus on software). So here are
my minor requests:
1> More pictures? one just isn't enough. It
would be nice to see a picture for
every game reviewed. True, this would
increase file size dramatically, but
I don't mind longer downloads if it's
worth it. I was especially disappointed
that Labyrinth of Time didn't have an
accompanying screenshot.
2> More on downward/upward compatibilty. I'd
very much like a CD32, but I'm not sure
if my old CDTV CD's will run on it.
Also, I think every CD32 game reviewed
should have a note as to whether the
game will run on a CDTV or A570.
3> Distribute CD32View so that it opens in its
own directory; i.e., it doesn't clutter
the directory it's dearchived into.
Thanks, and I look forward to more of your magazine!

Thanks for the comments, John. I'd love to increase the frequency
of the magazine, but right now there's no way to do that with the time I
have available. As for the pictures, I hope to have more pictures in the
next issue. (See the editorial column for the reasons.)
As for the CDTV issue, I have tried to provide that information. See the
column in this issue.
I'd love to have CD³²View open in it's own directory but, remember, this
isn't a magazine for the Amiga only. I try to accomodate any other
platform by also including the ASCII version of the magazine. Not being
familiar with any other platforms other than the IBM and Amiga, I'm not
sure how, say, a Mac would react to that. It's not too hard to use a
directory utility or the Amiga's CLI to create a directory before
dearchiving the magazine, is it? ]
