Do any staff from CU-Amiga browse these pages?

I wasn't staff, but I used to write for them free-lance during my student days.  Those'd be the days when Dan Slingsby was in charge and, latterly, Andy Leaning.

I wrote a round-up of 3D renderers, reviews of accelerators and a couple of other bits.

I also wrote freelance for Amiga Computing, a magazine I'd enjoyed and respected for ages.  

As a student, being paid 10p a word was a fortune: 80 quid a page.  It seriously helped my student life, and coupled with the income from writing the driver for the tabby graphics tablet, and a part-time job at First Computer Centre, it kept me out of debt at university.

I guess I owe my debt-free start to life to the Amiga one way or another.  Wow!  

Cheers,
Nick.

Did you write lots of articles with words like "of", "in" and "to" in them,

Don't forget "a".  "a" is a classic word.

As an aside, CU Amiga never got used to me using "filenote" to provide captions for graphics.  Amiga Computing did...

Ahh, nostalgia.  

I shall try to resurrect the articles I wrote

"Nik Lines"...  No "C" made the name more cool, y'see.

I think I started in 1993 and finished in 1995.  A short but brilliant career, resulting from me sending things in from First Computer Centre to CU Amiga and them just saying, "look, can you write?"

Some of the stuff I wrote could have done with a bit more editing with reflection, but in my defence I was young and needed the money.
