My name is Gareth Young. I am at the miserable age of 13.
I live in a boring city known as Derby.

I live at:
5 Spindletree Drive
Oakwood
Derby
DE21 2DG

If you do send me anything (ASDA Coupons, SONY Floppy disks, mail telling me
you hate my icons etc. @{i}Please@{ui} put my name on it!!!  I don't want
my parents reading my mail.    

I have an A1200 with a Blizzard 1230-IV board, 4MB 60ns SIMM, 50MHz FPU,
Half knackered Zappo CD-ROM (This should bring Martin Szybut and Robin
(Ha-Ha) Williams out into fits of laughter.), Dataflyer SCSI Interface, Zip
drive, a MODEM very shortly, INTEGREX Colourjet Series 2 printer, a TV and a
partridge in a pear twee.  And we have a very expensive alarm system and two
ferocious Rotweilers at home so don't bother trying to nick any of it.
Anyhow, I get about 1 hour's sleep each night and spend the vast majority of
my sad (According to my school friends, Niles (Fraiser) like. Or Lammar/J. Cocker) life using the Amiga.
Better sad than Brad off Neighbours.  So a theif wouldn't get a chance to get into
an empty house.

Finally, I have extreme difficulty getting AF-CD at a date near its actual
release date-I get it about 2 weeks later than that, and that's even though I
reserve it!

These are Icons.  They are used on GUI's such as the Amiga's Workbench.
There are several different types of icon on the Amiga-these are:
a)Commodore-They all look the same, that is to say, Putrid.
b)MWB-They do not all look the same, but are still Putrid.
c)@{"NewIcons" link "Newicons" 0}-They do not all look the same, they work better
  (No pallete changing JUST to get the icons to look right.), they look nice
  and are simply far superior to a and b.
There have been changes in design to some of the icons found on CD8-I have
also put a whole load of new icons on here.

There is an IFF file in Components\Maps called "Home Grown".  This picture
contains both Text and Graphics explaining how to make your own AF icons in
the same style I have.

Ouch it was an iron bar.

Listen to:  Kate "another word for Shrub that begins with "B" and ends with
"H"" (Any of her songs) released by a company associated with the things on
the stem of a rose.  There, said it without getting any sad company execs
moaning about ©.  AF CD isn't really worth it without the MODS.

NewIcons is a reveloutionary Icon system for the Amiga-version 3 can be
found on AF CD 5 (Or was it 6?) it is so stupendously brilliant I simply
cannot tell you why it is so good because you can only fit 650Mb onto a CD.
In order to view my icons without double-clicking on them you have to
install NewIcons.
