::  Editorial :-                                                          ::

::                  (Friday 18th Decemeber 1998 (21:33))                  ::

::  Welcome to a new issue of Devious Tools..                             ::

::  Hooray.. Hooray.. Tomorrow is my Birthday.. (The 19th).  I am now 1   ::
::  year older.. And am I 1 year wiser ?? I don't think so.. After all,   ::
::  what does a birthday signify ?? Live ?? Liberation ?? Freedom ??  a   ::
::  chance for everyone you know (including yourself) to get totally      ::
::  blind rotten drunk ??  Well.. I think it is a bit of all... I believe ::
::  that instead of worshiping fake religious holidays, (or as these days ::
::  superfical), in which you have to buy crap for people you don't even  ::
::  like, (al la next week).. I think you should rather celebrate your    ::
::  birthday instead.. as it is more inportant than any other day of the  ::
::  year.  This offcourse dosn't mean that you can't get drunk at the     ::
::  "superfical days" (ie, next week) :). Basically what I am saying.. is ::
::  to keep partying on dude!!.. and over the upcoming Christmas break/   ::
::  Holiday... Don't buy anyone anything for Christmas (If you think      ::
::  about it.. What is the point??.. Just a massive waste of Money).. and ::
::  just get drunk and/or stoned (Whatever is your preference).. :)       ::

::  Also turning 1 Year older, It makes me revise my life.. What and Why  ::
::  am doing this ??  (I mean mucking about with the Amiga, and it's      ::
::  "underground culture".) Well I don't know.. It just seems routine now ::
::  (And after 165 issues of Devious Tools.... No Wonder).. Also over the ::
::  last few years, the scene (illegal and legal) has been slowly         ::
::  getting smaller and smaller..  The days are past when there was real  ::
::  fun in waiting to get something in the mail which you were after from ::
::  a contact from overseas.. Or spending heaps of $$$ and time in        ::
::  writting to 20 people from the contact pages from heaps of magazines, ::
::  and be happy that you actually recieve 2 replies. Those were the days ::
::  ... So what went wrong ?? Well, basically, Internet killed the mail   ::
::  swapper, as you can get stuff now quicker and faster then ever before ::
::  and there is no friendship (par a few instances) left in the scene    ::
::  like the old days.  Now it seems like that egos rule.. Escpecially    ::
::  in the Warez scene..  Thru the spreading of misinformation, and other ::
::  various nasty things.. This is not what the scene is for.. the scene  ::
::  is here for fun..  There are only a minority (mainly 1 person - and   ::
::  you all should know who it is !! ).. and this minority is making the  ::
::  scene die faster.. As they are fucking everyone up.. So that those    ::
::  people who are affected are disfranchised from continuing.  This is   ::
::  a sad state for the scene.. The Scene CAN NOT tolerate any loosers    ::
::  who have a detremental effect on the scene.. The scene should shun    ::
::  these troublemakers away.  As face it, I really would like to enjoy   ::
::  the last few years of the scene, and not be subjected to idiots who   ::
::  have massive egos (althrough they are pathetic people), and like to   ::
::  distrupt everyone else, and act like that there 10 years old.  I      ::
::  hope people have the guts to tell these people to shut up and get     ::
::  fucked.. Althrough this may mean that the troublemakers have a little ::
::  two-year-old tantrum..  So be it.. We have to get rid of these        ::
::  trouble makers and make the scene fun again.. Have the scene unity    ::
::  feel.. and NOT disunity.. as disunity only will result in a downward  ::
::  spiral for the amiga scene into oblivion..   How to make the scene    ::
::  fun again ??  (besides to get rid of those nasty troublemakers). Well ::
::  that is impossible to answer.. I think it is all personel here.. If   ::
::  you like drawing pictures, or making music, or even code, i think     ::
::  what you should do to follow your talents.. Keep trying to get        ::
::  recognized, and try to have your production out in the public arena.  ::
::  This is what the scene orignally was like.. Everyone trying to be     ::
::  better then the last.. People presenting unique ideas.  People mostly ::
::  having fun.. It is now into your hand.. if your in a group.. make     ::
::  sure that you try to organise something to be released, or an idea    ::
::  that you think will make the scene more fun. Do It.. And if you're    ::
::  not in a group, try to join one, or start your own, and start         ::
::  producing.. This way.. there might be a few more good years in the    ::
::  scene left.. Anyway.. keep having fun..                               ::

::  Back to noral dribble.. I wish to thank Hexagon/CPU for the file id   ::
::  logo.. Hopefully we'll have a prober .nfo file hey Hexagon :)  Also,  ::
::  watch out for next issue, as it'll contain the usual annual Christmas ::
::  Story/Thoughts.. :) ..  Also I hope to have the  offical Trip WWW     ::
::  page up by Christmas.. Stay tuned for URL ..  :)                      ::

::  Now, this is your bit.. We in Trip are after more members (please,    ::
::  no traders) .. If you can Code, or make Music, or even Draw, please   ::
::  email me at hweight@iinet.net.au ...  Do it now :)                    ::

::  Also, for the plebes who don't know... Wizpal has now gone all        ::
::  private passwords/account on the FTP Side.. To get your own account,  ::
::  just email jgerman@paonline.com with your details.                    ::
