UNSPEAKABLE.. BY FENDER TUCKE
R.. WHEN I FIRST CAME TO WORK FOR.SOF
TDISK, INC. ABOUT 22 ISSUES AGO I.WAS DI
SMAYED WHEN, AT A MEETING, AL.VEKOVIUS R
EPORTED THAT COMMODORE.COMPUTERS WERE FA
ILING. HE TOLD ME.THAT I SHOULD LOOK IN
TO IBM OR THE.AMIGA SINCE COMMODORE WOUL
D SOON BE.DROPPING THE C-64 LINE. WELL,
AL IS.USUALLY RIGHT AND, SURE ENOUGH, F
ROM.WHAT I READ IN THE MAGAZINES,.COMMOD
ORE ISN'T SUPPORTING THE C-64.OR THE C-1
28 MUCH ANYMORE... BUT SHOULD I DROP
MY FAVORITE.COMPUTER FOR SOMETHING NEW?.
. AHOY! HAS STOPPED PUBLISHING ITS.64
/128 MAGAZINE AND UPTIME NO LONGER.HAS A
COMMODORE DISK. INFO SEEMS TO.BE 90% A
MIGA THESE DAYS. I NOTICE.THAT THEY DID
N'T REVIEW US IN THEIR.LAST ISSUE. THE
ONLY DISK MAGAZINE.THEY MENTIONED WAS JU
MPDISK..STRANGELY ENOUGH, JUMPDISK WAS T
HE.ONLY DISK MAGAZINE THAT ADVERTISES IN
.INFO. WHAT'S UP, MARC AND BENN?.. I
S IT TIME TO START WORRYING?.WELL, DISKO
VERY IS MY PLACE FOR.ESPOUSING MY CRACKP
OT THEORIES SO IF.YOU READ ON YOU'LL HEA
R WHAT I THINK.ABOUT THIS SITUATION.....
I THINK THE PAPER MAGAZINES ARE.IN F
OR A HARD TIME IF/WHEN COMMODORE.AND MAJ
OR SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS STOP.PRODUCING C-
64 STUFF. ADVERTISING.WILL DROP AND "NE
W" MATERIAL WILL BE.HARD TO COME BY. TH
E PAPER MAGAZINES,.WHICH TEND TO PUBLISH
SMALL UTILITIES.AND GAMES, ARE ALREADY
HAVING TROUBLE.COMING UP WITH "NEW" STUF
F BECAUSE.JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING SMALL HA
S BEEN.DONE BEFORE... LET'S FACE IT,
THERE ARE MANY.FORMER C-64 COMPANIES THA
T WANT YOUR.C-64 TO FAIL SO THAT YOU WIL
L HAVE TO.INVEST ANOTHER THOUSAND OR TWO
ON A.NEW COMPUTER. LOADSTAR IS NOT ONE
OF.THESE!.. MY BOSS, AL, IS AN IBM M
AN.BECAUSE WE SELL ABOUT FOUR TIMES AS.M
ANY ISSUES OF BIG BLUE DISK (OUR IBM.PRO
DUCT) AS WE DO LOADSTAR. HE'S A.GREAT B
OSS BUT HE HAS LITTLE RESPECT.FOR THE CO
MMODORE 64. I CAN SAY THIS.BECAUSE, UNL
ESS YOU TELL HIM, HE'LL.NEVER KNOW WHAT
I WRITE ON LOADSTAR... I LOVE THIS JO
B. AS LONG AS OUR.SALES DON'T DIP, I HA
VE COMPLETE.AUTONOMY OVER THESE DISKS.
I THINK.THE QUALITY OF LOADSTAR HAS RISE
N.DRAMATICALLY IN THE PAST TWO YEARS,.BU
T DON'T GIVE ME THE CREDIT. THE.GREAT H
OME PROGRAMMERS WHO SEND ME.THEIR BABIES
DESERVE IT ALL... I'VE CONVINCED AL
THAT LOADSTAR,.BECAUSE IT PUBLISHES LARG
E PROGRAMS.THAT DON'T FIT INTO NORMAL NI
CHES,.WILL NOT BE AFFECTED BY THE ANTICS
OF.COMMODORE, INC. OR THE MAGAZINES..TH
E MILLIONS OF C-64 USERS WHO AREN'T.INTE
RESTED IN BUYING NEW COMPUTERS.(THIS INC
LUDES ME) WILL STILL WANT.NEW, FAIRLY MA
JOR PROGRAMS AND THAT'S.WHAT LOADSTAR PR
OVIDES... ALL IT WILL TAKE TO PROVE T
HIS TO.AL IS AN INCREASE IN LOADSTAR SAL
ES..THERE ARE A LOT OF C-64 PEOPLE WHO.S
TILL DON'T KNOW ABOUT US. I DON'T.THINK
MAGAZINE ADVERTISING IS THE WAY.TO DO T
HAT -- WORD OF MOUTH IS MUCH.BETTER....
IF YOU MENTION TO FRIENDS THAT.LOADST
AR WILL CONTINUE LONG AFTER ALL.OF THE "
LEADING EDGE" MAGAZINES SHIFT.TO 64-BIT,
10-GIGAHERTZ, 8-KILOBUCK.NUMBER CRUNCHE
RS, THEN MY PROPHECY.WILL BECOME SELF-FU
LFILLING. AND.THERE'S NOTHING I LIKE BE
TTER THAN.SELF-FULFILLMENT... * * * *

WSE THROUGH THIS ISSUE.YOU'LL SEE SOME N
EW THINGS, MOST OF.THEM INSTIGATED BY JE
FF JONES AND.SCOTT RESH. HAVING THEM TO
ASSIST ME.HAS FREED ME UP FOR SOME SPEC
IAL.PROJECTS THAT YOU'LL BE HEARING ABOU
T.IN INSERTS AND CATALOGS... JEFF AND
SCOTT ARE WHIZZES IN.THEIR RESPECTIVE F
IELDS AND YOU'LL BE.HEARING EVEN MORE FR
OM THEM, TEXT- AND.PROGRAM-WISE, IN THE
UPCOMING ISSUES... THE PROJECTS I'VE
BEEN WORKING ON.ARE STAND-ALONE PROGRAMS

HOW ABOUT THEM BUGS?.. ON LOADSTAR #5
