  Despite writing to nearly every major Acorn software house (Computer Concepts, Beebug, Doggysoft, Colton etc.) I haven't been able to get much software for review in Aliquid Novi. Maybe the people who run these companies are getting more and more like their PC counterparts in that they are unwilling to give software to a free disc-based magazine. By so refusing to have their products reviewed, they <i>ipso facto</i> kill off the main incentive for people like me to go on producing such magazines. All the companies in the list of contact addresses, apart from Clares and the Datafile didn't even reply to my letter asking for something, anything to review. My sincerest thanks to Clares and Datafile PD for supporting what was rather an unknown quantity - a disc magazine which they knew nothing about from a person they hardly knew anything about. Perhaps the other companies will contribute software to Aliquid Novi 2. If you would like them to (ie. if you would like there to <i>be</i> an Aliquid Novi 2), do write to me. If a lot of people do this, companies will begin to realise that annoyed Acorn users do not make for potential customers, while reviews, and their attendent publicity, do.
