Cming is about to come under new management.Steve Mansfield s takng over as edtor startng with theApr/May ssue. Steve s probably the most experenced

wrter on MSX n the Englsh language, and long-termreaders will remember hs spel as deputy edtor on Cming right from the vey frst ssue. Snce leaving themagazne to pursue a freelance career he has stayed ntouch by wrting occasonal aticles for MSX readers and hebrngs to the magazne a wealth of technca experience.

One of hs greatest assets as edtor wl be theextraordnary qualty of the materal contrbuted by thereaders. Many computer magaznes fnd t hard to knowwhat ther readers want. The Cming postbagbrngs us or readers' letters every day, manyaddressed to our specal arcade, adventure and programlistings departments, and many contaning valuable

nformaton which can then be shared wth the wholereadershp As an exaample, just turn to one of the threearcade game maps n ths issue. They al started off asreader contributons.

If you have somethng to say about any aspect of usngMSX computers, write n wth your ideas. Theres no need tosend in a complete article as the frst stage a cearlywritten synopss (up to about words) w do f you want tosee what we thnk of an dea. The knd of acle we arelooking fo s between 1 and words long, wthsome potental for llustraton. We have faciltes forredrawng diagrams, and we can re-wrte your prose fnecessary, so you dont have to be a combinaton of Athur

C Clark and Leonardo Da Vnc. However, you should bena position to gve us clearly typed or word-processed text,double spaced, wth wrting on one sde of the paper only. nparticuar we are intrested n commssonng a completeMSX machne-code course, starting completely fromscratch, to run over several ssues.
