..DEAR LOADSTAR,.. FROM TIME TO TIME
YOU GET.COMPLAINTS SUCH AS - "WHY DON'T
YOU.GIVE MORE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS?",."Y

VARIOUS SUSCRIBERS HAVE VARYING.PERCE
PTIONS OF WHAT YOU GIVE US - ME.TOO - BU
T LET'S RECOGNIZE THEM AS.PERCEPTIONS, N
OT AS FACTS... I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON
AN INDEX OF.LOADSTAR PROGRAMS, BREAKING
THEM DOWN.INTO THE FOLLOWING CATEGORIES
-.. EDUCATION (ART,ASTRONOMY,BIOLOGY,
.CHEMISTRY,COMPUTER,ELECTRONICS,GEOGRAP.
HY,HANDICAPPED,MATH,METEOROLOGY).. GAM
ES (ADVENTURE,ARCADE,CHANCE,.LOGIC,MAZE,
PUZZLE,QUIZ,STRATEGY).. GRAPHICS. HE
ALTH. HOME/BUSINESS. HUMOR. REVIEW
S. SIMULATION. SOUND. UTILITY.....
BEING PAROCHIAL, I HAVE OMITTED.MOST
128 ENTRIES. ALSO, SOME PROGRAMS.ARE L
ISTED IN TWO CATEGORIES -.GRAPHICS AND U
TILITY, ART EDUCATION.AND GRAPHICS, ETC.
NEVERTHELESS, I.THINK THAT THE FOLLOWI
NG FIGURES ARE.SIGNIFICANT... ISSUES
1 THROUGH 35 HAVE BEEN.INDEXED SO FAR, T
OTALING 913 ENTRIES... UTILITIES ACCO
UNTED FOR 257.ENTRIES, 28% OF THE TOTAL.
ACTUALLY,.THERE ARE A NUMBER OF MINOR
UTILITY.ITEMS BURIED IN "QUESTIONS &.ANS
WERS", "HINTS & TIPS", ETC., WHICH.WERE
NOT INDEXED INDIVIDUALLY..THEREFORE "HAC
KER STUFF" BULKS EVEN.LARGER THAN 28%...
EDUCATION CAME IN WITH A.SURPRISING
(TO ME) 154 ENTRIES OR.17%. A WIDE RANGE
OF SUBJECTS ARE.INCLUDED. THE 64 IS TRU
LY A LEARNING.TOOL... GAMES FINISHED
BEHIND EDUCATION,.WHICH WILL SURPRISE MA
NY, WITH 149.ENTRIES MAKING 16% OF THE T
OTAL... REVIEWS CAME IN WITH A SURPRI
SING.104 ENTRIES, 11%. WE COULD USE EVEN
.MORE....... GRAPHICS WERE NEXT, A.RE
SPECTABLE 98 PROGRAMS OR 11%,.ATTESTING
TO THE FINE GRAPHICS.CAPABILITIES OF THI
S GREAT LITTLE.COMPUTER... HOME/BUSIN
ESS ACCOUNTED FOR 89.ENTRIES OR 10%...
SOUND ONLY HAD 33 PROGRAMS, A.SMALL 4%
. THIS REALLY SURPRISED ME,.AS I HAVE A
LWAYS ASSOCIATED LOADSTAR.WITH MUSIC. M
AYBE ALL THAT BACKGROUND.MUSIC HAD ME BR
AINWASHED!.. HEALTH PROGRAMS WERE FEW
AND FAR.BETWEEN, EVEN WHEN THE DEFINITI
ON WAS.STRETCHED. ONLY 15 ENTRIES OR 2%
... HUMOR WAS A MEASLY 1%, ONLY 12.EN
TRIES. MOST WERE APRIL FOOLS DAY OR.ALF
REDO. COULDN'T WE HAVE MORE?.. CONCL
USIONS? SPEAKING FOR MYSELF,.YOU ALL HA
VE DONE A GOOD JOB OF.GIVING US ABOUT 30
0 PROGRAMS A YEAR.COVERING A WIDE RANGE
OF USEFUL,.INFORMATIVE, AND ENTERTAINING
.SUBJECTS... THE QUALITY IS GOOD AND
THE.INSTRUCTIONS EASY TO FOLLOW........
I WAS IN A SELLING TYPE BUSINESS.FOR
FORTY YEARS, AND LEARNED EARLY.THAT IF Y
OU FOULED UP ADMIT IT,.CORRECT IT, AND K
EEP THE CUSTOMER.HAPPY. THE WORST THING
IS TO HAVE A.DISGRUNTLED CUSTOMER WHO H
ASN'T.COMPLAINED BUT WHO JUST QUITS DOIN
G.BUSINESS WITH YOU... I THOUGHT YOU
WERE DOING PRETTY.WELL IN REPORTING THE
BUGS AS THEY.CAME TO LIGHT. EXTERMINATO
R IS SORT.OF ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CALL O
F DUTY,.BUT ONLY WHAT WE HAVE COME TO EX
