To everyone interested in AMIGA, especially the prices for it, I provide the following information. As of 06.07.98, a new AMIGA 1200, for business trips, costs $250, and MAGIC HD costs $260. A one-year warranty is provided for each, along with support for both old and new software. CDs for Amiga are sold for $5. Anyone interested is requested to call the following numbers: in Sevastopol 57-57-80 (in the evenings, Tolik) and in Zaporizhzhia 49-62-02 (except Thursdays, in the evenings, Sasha).
The pre-release of MIRROR has been released. In addition to the existing level, there is a second one, and between them, a small animation (I haven't completed the second one yet). Anyone interested in acquiring the full version of MIRROR can call the number in Zaporizhzhia 49-62-02 in the evenings, except Thursdays, and ask for Sasha or Maxim. There will be no freebies, and piracy will be prosecuted under programmer laws.
In Sevastopol, there is PUPAZHUS (a guide to Spectrum magazines). It contains a complete description of 70 magazine issues. Small format (notebook), 90 pages, decent print quality. Released in the Republic of Crimea, Feodosia, SEA BOY & A.S.A. on 16.04.98. The guide includes descriptions of such "monsters" as FORMAT, SPECTROFON, ADVENTURER, FAULTLESS, and "new magazines" Assorti, ZX-POWER, PLATINUM, etc. The price of this product is $2 (the price is given without markups!).
