But I went on (had them on disc also hehe), and saw a nice layout, and a lot of possibilities, I ofcourse, started looking for my favourit actors, but only to find, that I had quite a few movies that wasn't in the movieguide. I ofcourse started seeking on titels and found the movies, it had not found these movies because of typing errors by the people behind the movieguide. This was not the only time I had those problems, actually quite a few times. Well just to look a bit objective on it, it's a good guide, with quite a lot of titels and plots for movies, even some series are included. I would have rated it (4/5), was it not for the many typing errors and because of the lack of some essential movies NAME: MOVIEGUIDE V2.04 RELEASED: July 1994 MADE BY: SIMON RAVN & SVEND ERIK POULSEN RATING: 3/5 The Party '94 TP 94, no TP 94, TP 94, .. ==================================================== Hm...

All the Another rumor about the 'EXPO' with information in this article are from the danish hardware deals in TP3, that this meeting. they took half the entrance fee was just a rumor! and plans have been First of all, there is going to be a made to include a similar 'EXPO' in THE PARTY 4, the reason this meeting TP4, but this time the party was called is that there have been organizers will arrange this to avoid some financial problems (tax, etc), problems. and people always expects a big, A major attraction will be the better thing! The rumors about some competitions, which like any other of the organizer not willing to put COMPUTER PARTY will be the usual time into another TP were just rumors! DEMO-compo for Amiga, PC, C64, the So where will TP4 be held? well, at music competition, the graphics compo, the momemt of this interview, nothing etc. BUT something new in TP4 will be had been decided, but the organizers the 'WILD!' competition, where the are negotiating with several big rules are simple: create something on places! your machine! wether a PC, C64, Like the other TPs, TP4 will be a big Amiga, CRAY-1, etc... IMPRESS the arrangement with invitations for ALL, audiens! this looks to be a not a smaller closed party! also like competition between the GIANTS of the business, and I for one is looking question: Who are the groups being forward to some MAJOR impressive TP4? well to be precise no groups animated ray-tracings! will be mentioned! this is a party Well, back to the where and when! to held by some Computer freaks! not make this party even bigger than last some BIG-BUSINESS-GROUPS! year, the organizers have decided to And a piece of info: like last year end the party a day later, so this there are planed a LASER-DISC room in years WHEN is answered by: 27-30. TP4! 8) December. This should also ease the pressure on the last day with all the Well that's it, and that's that! I compo's and maybe even do something am absolutly crazy about this! I can about the much-yelled-at music hardly wait! so be there! or be competition. SQUARE! more info coming up! stay A little note to the PC/C64 people tuned on this channel! who might have been a little pissed after last year, I can tell you that Json the organizers from the AMIGA section (the real Main-organizers) will be in control of the PC/C64 sections too! so no problems with the organizers being connected with some PC/C64 group! and that brings up another InterNet... PD boards), TelNet (Not available at Getting onto the InterNet PD baords, an account a a university ------------------------- or access providing company needed) and FTP (available to some PD baords), 1) What is the InterNet... beside from these there is many other resources like WWW, WAIS, Finger and The InterNet is a worldwide computer BitNet available through the network. network stretching as far as from Russia to South Africa. It has over 3.0) What is the 'main' resources... 20 million users and over 700000 host sites available. Ok, the main resources is Email, UseNet, TelNet and FTP 2) Is just another 'stupid' mail network (like FidoNet)... 3.1) What is EMail... No it is not, many people will have EMail is like private mail, you use encountered the mail parts of InterNet the editor at the host system at which on PD boards offering access to them, you have an account or your point but the InterNet is so much more than software (if its a PD board you have just mail, the net consists of the access through), to write the message following things: EMail (available at to the intended reciever, VERY similar many PD boards), UseNet (also on many to NetMail on FidoNet except the adresses, but more about that later on playing the much heard about MUD :). games, but we'll deal with the MUD's later on. Finally, it should be said 3.2) What is UseNet... that nearly all systems reachable through TelNet is naturally protected UseNet is a gigantic collection of like they would be off the net. newsgroups warying from computer related topics to fan areas of 3.4) What is FTP... Metallica, in short this is also like the FidoNet conferences except there FTP or File Transfer Protocol is the is quite a bit more conferences at thing you use to transfer files from UseNet. remote hosts. FTP is usable in 2 ways, the first (and the easist, and 3.3) What is TelNet... most quick way) is if you have direct InterNet access meaning that you just TelNet is the terminal access of the have to enter the host name to be able InterNet network, meaning that it to browse the hosts archives, functions as if your local terminal naturally there is always some sort of (be it at a university or your amiga security so you wont be able to access through a dialup) had been to the companies top-secret automobile remote host whose adress you have designs. The other way of using FTP entered, it is through this people is is by EMail, this, however, requires that there is a host somewhere at hand the cursor keys, and you are also in that can provide you with the service, that case limited to text, but if you in short, you write a letter to a have a terminal (in some situations a specific address giving of the FTP ISDN line is enough), you will in many site name which you want to access and cases be able to recieve graphics then giving variable commands to also. catalog and get files from the archieve, not as nice as the direct 4.2) Gophers method. A gopher is actually just a program 4.0) Sounds good, is there more... that uses menues for the user to choose the program to run or file to Yes, there is quite a bit more to view, quite simple and very user InterNet than that. friendly, is also in some cases used with FTP to spare the user of the mess 4.1) WWW having to deal with the different FTP commands (with a gopered FTP you WWW or World Wide Web (Mosaic) is a choose the subdirectory or file and hyper-text based system that allows press return to enter the directory or users to point and click their way view the file). through the network, if you are using a dial-up you (naturally) have to use 4.3) Talk just one to play the game at the same time, making it possible for users to The talk program is a program for go on adventures together, and to have chatting from host to host, you a 'meaningfull' talks about the latest activate the talk program and enter slaying. the users whom you want to chat with address, seconds later a message will appear at his console telling him that you want to get in contact with him, Thats it for now, the next article and a chat can then be established. about the InterNet will be in the next Note that this requires that both issue of Hydra, will feature how to machines have the talk software get onto the InterNet, who is installed. providing access, and there is still another couple of resurces available 4.4) MUDs that have to be discussed, a bit of the more technical stuff is also going MUD or Multiuser Dungeon system is to be there. available at many sites via TelNet, in short is an adventure game in a specified time-line (good old Merlin, Wardancer or a big bad cyborg), the trick is that the MUD allows more users than Local Vote section... The plans for this section are that we'll cover as many countries as possible, but to reach that goal we need i.e. a german SysOp/trader to manage the german section, because it's impossible for us to do all this work, and nobody is more into the german modem scene than a german! so are you interested in managing the charts for your country?! then give me a call, or contact one of the people involved in this magazine. This month we have selected to include, not only the danish votes, but also the swedish votes. The reason for including the swedish votes is the massive support on Sandman's board! WAY TO GO! Plans are made to change the Voting door, so that it is easier to change the vote-sheet! so in the future we might change the sheet from month to month to make it a lot more interesting!
