^6 Most  of  the  letters  this issue have been included in the section
^6dealing  with the survey sent out last time, but here are a few extra
^6comments.

^4 From Ronnie James from Alloa.

^5 ....You  asked  for  feedback  on  the  `Amos  for Kids' programming
^5section  -  whether  it should stay or not.  Please keep them coming.
^5As  you intend, they are a great introduction to programming for both
^5the younger reader and the newcomer to Amos.  My eldest son (aged 10)
^5finds  this  part  of  the  magazine  indispensible and with a little
^5coaching  from  me,  is  learning  the  fun  that's  to  be  had from
^5programming.  Don't even think about dropping this section (oe else!)

^6 Ronnie  also  expands  on his idea of getting `Special Deals' for TA
^6readers.....

^5 In  relation  to my suggestion about `cracking a deal' with software
^5suppliers in  the  questionnaire  -  as  to date I don't own the Amos
^5compiler  or  the  Amos  3D construction programs, I do intend buying
^5them  in  the  future, but I'm always on the hunt for a bargain!  I'm
^5sure  there is a number of readers like myself who would appreciate a
^5specially reduced price on certain packages.  I don't know if this is
^5something  that could be arranged for interested readers, but there's
^5no harm in asking.  And there's always future Amos products like your
^5tutorial book and disk, Easy Amos and Amos V2.0.  I just love special
^5offers!!

^2 As  our readership is quite small (but keen and dedicated) we do not
^2have the bargaining power of larger groups.  You would probably get a
^2better  deal  from  searching through the Ads in the magazines!  Easy
^2Amos  for example has a RRP of £34.95p, we recently had our catalogue
^2from   Special  Reserve  which  advertises  it  for  £22.99p!   (plus
^2membership  fee  of  £6.99p  if  not  a member already).  We shall be
^2looking  to  get  Easy Amos as a competition prize very soon, so keep
^2your  eyes  peeled to TA!  Also, look in our Readers' Bargain Section
^2to see what's there!

^2 As  to  the matter of "Amos in Action" we'll have to see what we can
^2do!

^6 Ian  Pollard  from  Kent  added  a  few  lines  when  he sent in his
^6questionaire.

^5 Congratulations  on  reaching  Issue 3 of TA.  I do like the Totally
^5Useless section, keep it going.  Allowing the use of the keyboard has
^5been  a  real  boon  for me as I was brought up on computers in those
^5heady  days  of the Vic 20 and Commodore 64 when a mouse was a small,
^5furry  animal  that  squeaked  a lot and kept getting chased by a cat
^5called  Tom!   My  only  gripe about the magazine is that the viewing
^5area could be larger (as mentioned in the questionnaire).

^6 Len & Betty Boyns from Rochester write......

^5 Many thanks for your kind remarks on TA3 which we have both enjoyed.
^5Betty and I have very much enjoyed the Cliffhanger game.  I intend to
^5study  the  3D  tuition and being artistic would also like to look at
^5the  children's  art  course,  but  the  updated  program seems to be
^5missing.

^5 I  like  the new keyboard controls you have installed and the "HELP"
^5facility with the bouncing card.

^2 .....Well  done L & B!  You were the only ones who spotted that this
^2prog.   was missing.  We haven't found it yet, but are redoing it for
^2a  future issue!  Another attack of the Gremlins is suspected here as
^2it  was  on  Hard  drive,  but  somehow never made it to the finished
^2magazine master disk.
