TIMI

With the worldaroundits constantly changing, we too

must accept change from time to time, orface possible

extinction. This applies to many things in life, notjust

computers.

However, to avoid the kind of upgrade cycles that

keep other platforms spiraling out of control of the

user, weneedto make wisedecisionsaboutourchanges.

In the not-too-distantfuture, some new andexciting

items will arrive in the Commodore software arena.

There willbe twonew GEOSupdaters vyingto become

the new standard in that arena. Several individuals

are working on Internet-basedapplications ofsimilar

types, and again, there may be some competition there

as well to become the 'standard' for ourplatform.

Regardless ofwhich program does what and which

isstandardand which isn 't, onething is certain: It will

be far more exciting to have a choice than not having

these applications to begin with.

Meanwhile, get a headstart onfinding outabout the

new GEOS updaters due out soon by reading this

issue's coverage ofWheels andMP3. And alsobe sure

to check out 816 Beat to get the scoop on the new

SuperCPU that has begun shippingfrom CMD.

Oh, andget excited, because Ibelieve that this year

you'llfind there will be plenty ofreason to do so!
