From The Editor

Yes, It's limetochangeall thecalendars, reflect

briefly on the year gone by. then turn to our

mindstoringingin thenewyearwithabang.

And, ofCourse, thai means it's time for me to extend

ourbesl wishesforahappynewyeartoallourreaders,

andto ihankyoualliormaking 1995 thesuccessitwas

forushereat Commodore World and Creative Micro

Designs,Inc.Andnowthattheamenitiesareoutofthe

way, lei's coverthe 'oldbusiness".

At the close oflast year (seems so long ago now,

doesii'i it?)I foundmyselfona.smallCanadaAirflighl

from Ikrtford toToronto.Themission: toattend the

lirsl World ofAmiga showto lie held sincethe demise

ufCommodore. This year's sponsor was none other

thanWonderComputers,aCanadianfirmwithavery

strong commitment to the Amiga and the Amiga

market.

Whal struck me most about this showwasnot the

kind oftiling thai would have piqued my interests at

similar shows years before; things were still preLLy

much thesame.Oh, there werenew faces,andalotof

the old faces were missing; but the atmosphere and

general aura created were—similar. This bodes well

forAmigaTechnologies,thenewwingofESCOMthat

isworkingtoput Amigacomputersback intopeoples

mindsandhomes.TheAmigacommunity—inCanada,

iitleast—wasreceptive totheshow, and readyto buy

whateverdealershad looffer. And ihisbodeswell for

vendor support as well: seeing a willing market is

bound toconvincea fewvendors tostayon-hoard.

Now, noteverythingat theshowhadthebig"A"on

thefrompanel, Inoticedsomeol'ouroldfriendsat the

TPUG booth were playing around with a C-65. and [

also ran into a couple of the CW advertisers al the

show, jason Compton and Katie Nelson were there,

too;someofyouhaveseenJason'spreviousworkhere

orinhisovmAJnigaReport.JasonandKatiearestarting

a series on IITML in thisvery issue!

AnotherCW authorjoinedme at the showlo make

the rounds: Jim Buttcrlield. It's amazing how many

people Jim can draw to himself. This tan be a true

advantageifyou'rewithJimatashow,sincethebooths

are often crowded—settin" close toa booth thathad

sonn'thinglwantedloseeandsaying,"Iley,there'sjim

Bulterfieldrwasgenerallyenoughtoclearsomespace,

I also had a rather interesting chat with Matthew

Desmond,n-lwapparcntlvhadhopedtorunlntosome

8-hit folksattheshow.Mattwasratherpleasedtosee

theresultsoftheCPStestsresultswepublishedinCW

Issue-4, and could probably be heard for quite some

distance as he chanted, "1 won! I won!" While Matt

probably didn't think ofit al the time, whenever he

wins, so do we all.

In all, itwasan interestingshow, and I was pleased

to see a good turnout there.

Now, lets move ahead to thisyear. Naturally, there

hasbeenalotofexcitementovertheupcomingrelease

oftheSuperCPU.Intheissueyounowhold,you'llfind

an update on this project (in On The Horizon), and a

'sneakpreview'ofthe product itselfCpg. 2H). You can

also find out more aboul the microprocessor al the

hearl ofthis product in The Super Processor (pg. 20),

and geta glimpseat how it relates lo ihe 6510 in The

MetlSCh Connection (pg. 17).

My guess is that, after reading this issue, many of

youwillbeanticipatingwhat'stocomeinthisnewyear
