First some small messages from me. Well the most important message from me would be that our board, the one some of you would know as @2"Home Sweet Home"@1 just got a @3US Robotics HST @2Dual Standard@1 modem so I guess you could say we're joining the Hi-Speed club. Numbers ? Here they come @3HST@1 users call @3+47-6-810864@1 @3+47-6-810864@1 Ordinary @2300-2400bps@1 users call @3+47-6-810881 +47-6-810881 The number for @2Golden Gate@1 is @2+47-42-46718 +47-42-46718 @3See you at the board guys !!! ¶ @3OH!@1 Look, there's Waldemar. @2Hi, Waldermar!

In the future we will probably set up a mail network between the two boards too. Then I would, as usual to say a big hello to all users of our boards. The months has been a bit record breaking. Not that I began smashing all my LP's or anything, but we had like 3 new users every day ! If you're a user at our HQ board you have to log in at least once every eight months or your record will be deleted. We expect even more users now with the @3HST@1 modem and the total number of users today is @21003.@1 ...and that's quite a bit if I may say so! You have probably heard lots of shit from other groups about our boards, but why not check it out for yourself ? They're only a phonecall away, and they're both open @224hrs a day.@1 Now I guess it's time for some important messages from the EuroChart administartors. Stay tuned for part two of the story about Ken after the break.... .... Zooooooooom!! Guess who is here?? Yep, yep, calm down everybody!! This is once again @2Bustman@1 knocking on your front door, asking if you want to buy some graphics. So, do you want to improve the graphical layout of your productions?? @3Yes, I know!! @2Some of you groups out there already have excellent graphicians. But you people are not my target concerning this advertisement, I am talking about all you groups that do not have that good graphicians. Or, simply, you do not have graphicians at all. So if you want to get a logo for your group, a charset, a picture or whatever then just let me know. @1Just give me a note and I will fix it for a reasonable price. When ordering, remember to state exactly what you want. This way you can be more sure¶ on what you get, and we will avoid a lot of problems. @2Also remember to state how many bitplanes, which size if it is a matter of charsets, and the resolution. The more details you can give, the better. I will charge in new and unformatted quality disks, price depending on the size of the work. Ok, do you feel this is something for you and your group?? Then let me know. You can contact me at the following address, at any time. Just drop a letter with your request at this mailbox... @3BUSTMAN/CRUSADERS @1-@3 MYRDALSKOGEN 379 @1-@3 5095 ULSET @1 -@3 NORWAY @1... ... Gee, I have just finished off the graphics for this issue of our popular @2Eurochart@1. I hope you readers are satisfied with my work, I should tell you that I really put my soul into it. Hmm, let us change subject. I think I will finish off with some very special regards to my cool friends around. Since I have stopped making all those freeked out pack-disks, I have also stopped greeting my dear contacts. I think some of them deserve to get a snort of busemenner when I am at this scroller. If you are missed then tough luck. @2When I say very special regards, I mean @3VERY@2 special. @1My handshakes fly this time to... @3CYTAX@1 - Hi @2Zico@1!! Thanks for those cool letters, mate!!

I could have killed him. This is the end for me... See you around in another scroller sometime... So long... .... ..... Back to Dr.Outtasight: ¶ There we are. Now that you've read all the important messages and got your coke and your potato chips and your best chair our, relax and lean back and just enjoy the story about Ken, part two. If you've missed part one, it's on a music disk from a group called @2Abusive@1 which was released 01.12.90, or you could just download it from our boards under the filename @2KEN1.LZH.@1 Now back to the story Last time we left Ken, he had just brough back his brand new cybernoid model - a girl to be exact. After getting all the boxes in to his room without his mother noticing anything, he started opening the first box. It was the one with the head, and the head module. She sure was pretty, but that's not the only reason for Ken buying this cybernoid, or Replicant as some people called them. The name came from some early models made by freaked-out genetic designers back in year 2020, which constantly malfunctioned and caused harm and death to humans. They were taken out of production and nowadays one had to have a license to manufacture them. And all models had to go through certain goverment inspections. This of course added a lot to the price. Ken took the head out of the box and sat down to have a real good look at it. Suddenly he heard someone outside his door and he quickly dropped the head back in the box. Before he could close it, his mother yelled "What on earth are you doing !? And what's that ???" "Ehrm..." Ken was in a bit of a situation now. He had promised his mother that he would use his saved-up money for a new aero-bike and not for a cybernoid model! "Hi mom. This is Tanisha. Roger's new cybernoid. She's really funny. Do you want to hear her speak ?" Ken knew that his mother hated everything that had to do with cybernoids, and the box with the head was right in front of her, so this was the best way to get her to leave the room - she once had a date with one and she didn't notice that he was a Replicant before it was too late. "NO!" his mother yelled, seeing the head with the cables sticking out of the neck, and she slammed the door behind her. "I'm going over to Sally. Don't stay up to late Ken" his ¶mother shouted from the kitchen. Great! Ken was alone. He removed the transportation brackets and began to open the other boxes with legs, arms, and the main body. The battery was in a box of its own and after opening it he had the complete cybernoid in parts spread across the floor of his room. Ken didn't need an assembly manual - he had watched the techincians for hours at the computer shop, and now it was time to assemble his own. All the connectors fitted snuggly into their slots and in just a couple of hours the cybernoid was assembled. Without noticing it Ken had been fumbling around with a naked body. Very human like and very perfect in every way. Ken had never seen a completely naked girl before, except for all the dirty video disks they used to watch over at Collin's place. He was amazed that this body was even more pretty than the sex-model they used in dirty videos. Ken snapped out of his trance and rushed over to his mothers bedroom to find something she could wear. If his mother saw a butt naked girl lying on his bed she would really freak out for sure. He brought back what he thought would fit. He put the clothes beside the cybernoid on the bed and left the room with the remote control. He closed the door behind him and pressed the power switch. All he heard was the small beep from the remote control, but he decided to wait a bit longer. Shit. Something must have gone wrong. The guys at the computer shop had probably ripped him off and sold him a bad model. He reached for the door handle and turned it. Just as the door opened he could hear someone moving on his water bed. He quickly shut the door again and tip-toed over to the chair by the kitchen tabel. "Hello?" a smooth voice sounded from behind his door and Ken didn't know if he was dreaming or not. He had never actually been so close to a droid that just had woken up before so he studdered a bit "Eh..Eh..Ye-Yeah?" "Would someone mind coming in here and help me a bit?" the smooth voice sounded again. "Ehrm..well, ok.." ¶Ken didn't imagine it to be so hard to speak to a droid. This was just like trying to ask a girl at school out for a date... maybe even harder... Ken slowly opened the door and looked accross the room over to his bed. The clothes were still lying on the bed, but the droid had moved to under the sheets. All he could see was her head above the sheets. She had a perfect tan and her skin was much more human now that the bio-mechanisms had started. "Hi." she said "Who are you?" "I-I'm Ken. I just bought you" "Oh, well.." she said "Let's get started with transfering my software. I'm feeling a bit empty-headed". She pulled out a small optical cable from her purse which came with the model and connected it to the back of her head under the long, slightly curled black hair. Ken reached out for the cable and their hands touched. Her hands were warm, just like a human being...She stopped. She knew Ken didn't have the greatest experience with Replicants. If this wasn't romantic, nothing was.. Ken pulled the cable over to the EISDN slot in the wall and plugged it in. The droid slowly put its head back on the pillow and closed its eyes. What happened now ? Ken hadn't seen this before, and he picked up the manual from one of the boxes to see what she was doing. "The basic software will be transfered free of charge blah-blah-.. Do not interrupt software transfer blah-blah..." There! "While transfering the basic software, the PX-1600 will close all life functions. Please stand by while the transfer is progressing. The complete transfer, depending on the amount you have ordered will take approx. 1-2 minutes." Well, that wasn't such a long time. Ken was glad he wasn't paying for the transfer. Optical hi-speed transfers on the EISDN network wasn't exactly cheap, all though Roger probably could fix a a Red Box for him so that he could transfer software free of charge. Suddenly her eyes opened and she turned to him and smiled. "That's it." She removed the cable and put it back in her purse. Ken didn't exactly know what kind of software he had ordered with the droid, but it was probably the standard package - 5 languages, household utilities, diagnostics and so on.. "You must be about 16 years old so I guess you should turn your head the other way while I dress." she said. While Ken was loo¶king the other way she quickly dressed and after jsut a minute or so she was finished. "It's ok now. You can look. Well, what do you think? Just like you wanted?" she smiled again. "Eh..aw.. Sure. Yepp. Just like I expected" Ken studdered. "Awf. It's quite painful to be closed down and switched on again like this. All though I don't have the pain sensors of a human beeing I do have the ability to feel some forms of pain. By the way, what's your name ?". She stood up and walked towards him. "I'm Ken. Ken Miller. It's really Kevin, but all my friends call me Ken." He fealt it was a bit easier to speak to her now. "So Ken. I have received a lot of information about you from the central informations system so I know most things about you already, but I would like to add something to my records. Like what kind of food you like, what you do for fun, and so on.. Tell me about yourself." She sat down on the chair beside him and took his hand. Ken told her all about himself. They must have been sitting like this for at least 4 hours when Ken heard the front door open. "Sssshh. I'ts my mother. Be quiet. She thinks I'm sleeping" "Ken! are you still up?" his mother yelled. She must have seen the light from under the door. "Well, I was just going to bed" "Is that droid still here?" his mother asked. Tanisha looked at Ken. She realized that Ken hadn't told his mother that he had bought a complete cybernoid model. Many grown-ups had one or more cybernoids, but it was rather seldom that a 16 year old kid had one. Tanisha stood up and opened the door. Ken's mother was on the edge of brain close-down. In front of her stood a girl, or rather a female cybernoid who was wearing her clothes and coming out of her own sons room. Ken knew that this had to be the end. His mother wouls surely have him terminated tomorrow morning. Tanisha closed the door behind her and left Ken sitting in his room by himself. She pulled out a chair and helped Ken's mother on to it. Ken could hear them talk., but not exactly what they were talking about, but it had to be about him.. Every now and then he could hear his mother screaming "I don't want a Replicant in my house!" The time had passed 04:00 when Tanisha opened the door and when she and Ken's mother came in to his room. They sat down on the bed. "You could have told me that you were going to buy a Replicant, Ken. But we have come to an agreement, Tanisha and I. She's going to do some of the household things around here, so that I can start working again." "Hey, that's great mom!" "Tanisha better sleep in the guest room I think. Come Tanisha, let's get that spare bed out of the storage room for you. Replicants didn't actually sleep like a human did, but they closed down their life funtions and recharged their backup batteries during sleep. All though the cybernoids didn't run on electricity, the central nerve computer system had a battery backup unit just in case. Their bodies consumed food like any normal human beeing, and got energy from that. Ken wanted to stay up and talk about him self all night but Tanisha followed his mother out the door. "Good night Kevin. Sleep well. Dream sweet dream and come up with a name for me. Tanisha is just my model name.." "Good night¶ ....Tanisha" See you in the morning.... @3PHEW !!!@1 That's it of the story for this time. I really hope you don't expect this story to be a @2Stephen King@1 or a @3William Gibson@1 thing ! I'm not a very good writer, but scrolltexts must contain a certain amount of text so what could be better than an exciting story like this... The next part of the story will be available on the the next issue of the @2EuroChart,@1 so stay tuned for that. It will also be available on both our BBSs under the filename @2KEN1.LZH@1, @2KEN2.LZH@1 and so on... So if you don't receive the EuroChart regulary you can get it there, or get someone with a modem to get it for you.

First of all, the Crusaders wish you all a happy new year, and a good 1991 for all Amiga freaks! @2 What you see is a @3 NEW AND IMPROVED @2 EuroChart!! °@1In addition to the Charts themselves, you now get: - The EuroNews (This part) - The Gallery ! The three parts will be more or less integrated. You will see that when you quit from the EuroNews, you can either Quit to CLI, or get back to the EuroChart. In other words, the charts are still the most important thing here! No, we're not turning the EuroChart into a disk-mag. Not yet anyway. There will not be any articles in the EuroNews, no interviews, no coding lessons - just the news, that's it. (Oh, and some jokes..) °@1Some of the text parts from the EuroChart are moved into the EuroNews section. The EuroChart is now ONLY the charts - all the other stuff is in here, like the "Thanks" section, and the "About EuroChart" section and so on. We have also introduced a "jokes section" for those interested. Maybe in the future, we will add a little to the EuroNews. Let's just see what the future brings, shall we? @2Controls:@1 See those 4 arrows at the bottom of the screen? See'em? Got'em? Good. Now, the left and right arrows will take you through the current "section" of the EuroNews. For instance, this is the "General Info" section. For the next section, click on arrow °@1down, and there it comes. If you press @3HELP@1 or the right mouse button, you will be presented with a little index, and you can choose section from there. ®þ@3NEWS 1ST JAN 91 þ@1 Before you start reading the news, please note that some of them are just rumours - we do not guarantee that they are all true. We just tell you what we've heard. Well, off we go then.. @2----------------------------------- @1 It is heard from BitNet that a new soundchip is being made for the Amiga. It is called @3"Mary"@1 and will be a replacement for "Paula". The chip is supposed to offer @3"CD Quality Sound"@1 with 8 channels. Musicians - get your teeth into that! @2----------------------------------- °@1 @3ProTracker v.1.1@1 - released at the @3Theatre/Network@1 party, x-mas 1990, or a few days later. @2----------------------------------- @1 Some members of @3Rare UK@1 have joined @3Ecstacy@1. @2----------------------------------- @1 @3Soundtracker for the PC! @1 Dr.Awesome had the doubtful pleasure of trying out "Screamtracker" for the IBM compatibles. He reports quite good editing and it was very user friendly, and it DID give you 4 °@1channels of digitized sound! However, the sound quality was less than good, it sounded as though you had made your own loudspeaker out of some cardboard, and played on it whilst holding it under water. In other words, totally unuseable. Might be worth a try, just for the sake of a good laugh. There is also a ripper available. @2----------------------------------- @1 @3Disco with Noisetracker! @1Some guys in Finland held a disco with only Noisetracker music! Our contact Johannes Norrmann reports that about 300 people showed up, the music went down well, and it °@1was a success. Some of the most represented musicians got paid a little part of the income. Well done guys! Who wants to take up their idea and do the same thing in their home town? @2----------------------------------- @3Cult Norway@1 has split up. @3Electrix@1 and three other former members are starting a new group. @2----------------------------------- @3System 5 Norway @1are looking for more members. @2----------------------------------- °@3Golem @1and @3Bruno@1 left @3Gate@1 and joined @3Anarchy@1. @2----------------------------------- @3Mystik@1 left @3Reaktor@1 and joined @3Anarchy@1. @2----------------------------------- @3Camelot@1 left @3Theatre@1 and joined @3Cycron@1. @2----------------------------------- @3Static@1 left @3Paradox@1 and went back to @3Rebels@1. @2----------------------------------- °@3MadMan@1 is a new coder in @3Crusaders@1. @2 Welcome! ----------------------------------- @1Yet another new diskmag has emerged.

Now they only need a graphician, and that will probably be Slash of Kefrens??? @2----------------------------------- @1A danish guy, which name are not to be mentioned yet, will join an american softwarehouse @2Innerprise Software@1, to do a game as maincoder. Innerprise S. have made games as @2Battle Squadron@1, also produced by danish people... @2----------------------------------- °@1Some members of @3Kefrens@1 has left, because they felt that there was not much activity left in Kefrens.

OTHER rumours say that these rumours are bullshit and that 4-Mat is still in Anarchy. We don't know what to believe... @2----------------------------------- °@1Here's quite an interesting story picked up from BitNet. An Amiga owner was visiting a computer show and wanted to have some fun with an Apple MacIntosh salesman. The conversation went as follows: @2Question: How many colours can the Mac display? @3Answer: 16.7 million @2I know that's the palette, but how many can it actually display? @316.7 million. @216.7 million on screen at once? @3Yes. @2At what resolution? °@31024 by 768. @2That gives only 786.432 pixels on your screen, so how can you display 16.7 million colours with 786.432 pixels? @3Well, um, that was theoretical. @2So, for the 4th time, how many colours can it actually display? @3256, but out of the 16.7 million it can chose from. @1New topic: @2How many expansion slots does it have? @3One. °@2Why so few? @3Because, most users have no need for them, and the computer has everything built in. @2What is built in? @3Video, HD controller, floppy, networking ability, modem. @2How would I add memory? @3Use the expansion slot. @2How would I add a fax? @3Use the expansion slot. @2How would I add an accelerator? °@3Use the expansion slot. @2How would I enable it to record on video tape? @3Use a Genlock. @2But don't I need an NTSC signal first? @3Yes. @2How would I get that? @3A card in the expansion slot. @2So where would I put the Genlock? @3In the expansion slot. @2But the NTSC card is already there. °@3You'd have to purchase more expansion slots. @2What is the internal modem like? @31200 or 2400 baud. @2Does it have level 5 error detection and data compression built in? @3Not yet. @2But I want my modem to have these. @3Well, you can't have it. (Salesman getting very angry by now) @2Does the Mac multitask? @3Of course, using Multi-Finder. °@2Can you show me? @3Sure, no problem. @2Can you show me how to format 2 disks at the same time? @3Hum, let's try. @1<<<<>>>> @3Guess it can't do that.. @2But you just told me it could multi-task. @3It does, there must be something wrong with the drives... @2---------------------------------- °@13 groups are arguing about the rights to the name @3Frantic@1. One in Germany, one in Finland and one in Australia. @2---------------------------------- @3Bit Arts@1 has left @3Red Sector@1 and joined @3Proton Ltd. @2---------------------------------- °@3Heatbeat@1 has left @3Sector 4@1 and joined @3Byterapers@1. @2---------------------------------- @3Starfader/Vision@1 has changed his name to @3Mellow Dee@1 and joined @2Miranda@1. @2---------------------------------- @3Zapotek@1 is a new swapper in @2Crusaders@1. @3 Welcome! @2---------------------------------- @3Brainwave@1 and @3Sun Connection@1 ripped a whole demo, including all code, graphics and music from @3Addonic@1, °@1and credited themselves for the work that Addonic had done 5 months earlier! @2---------------------------------- @3Intec@1 is a new graphics artist in @2Crusaders@1. @3Welcome! @2---------------------------------- @3Nuke@1 and @3Cosmos@1 are two new members of @2Anarchy UK@1.

A lot of changes has happened: @2Merit@1 (Swapper) joined. New Australian section (@2Mogwai, The Control & Birdzone@1) joined. @2Heatbeat@1 (musician) and @2Deewzei@1 (coder) joined. Non-active members are kicked out. 9 members in Finland, 5 in Sweden and 3 in Australia. 17 active members total. @2---------------------------------- °@3Adept Sweden@1 is dead. All members joined @3Horizon@1. @2---------------------------------- @3Protracker version 1.1@1 from @2Amiga Freelancers@1 was released at the Network/Theatre party, X-mas 1990. New functions include a sampler screen much like that of Audiomaster, but faster, a 2nd setup-screen, BPM tempo control, and loads of other goodies. To get a copy of it, send 2 disks to: @3 Amiga Freelancers Bekkelivn. 10 2010 Strommen NORWAY @1...and they will send one of the disks back to you with PT1.1. ®þLETTERS/MESSAGES þ@3To all voters: @1 For the last time: Do @2not@1 put your votes as text files, pictures, or in any other way vote on disk!! Write your votes down on PAPER or print out the text file! We will ignore all votes coming in on disk. We don't have the time for that kind of crap. @2----------------------------------- °@3To all DiskBack Service users: @1 For the last time: If you want to use the DiskBack Service, it COSTS ONE DISK, so don't just send us one disk - send TWO. If we receive only one disk from you, we will NOT return it. @2----------------------------------- @3Mick of Daniax: @1 Sorry we got your name fucked up last time. Hope we got it right this time! It doesn't matter whether you write 1,2,3 or just group1, group2, group3 and so on. They will be given 3,2,1,1,1... points after the order in which °@1you wrote them. We'd like to include some more crazy sections like you mentioned, but we don't have any more time to spend on the counting. Sorry. @2----------------------------------- @3Clash of Paradox@1 had some thoughts about the charts, about the voting etc. He thought that maybe it's not such a good idea that everyone, even total lamers, can vote for the EuroCharts, because many of them might vote for something totally out of date, maybe even crews that don't longer exist etc. Well Clash, in one way you're right, if only the "elite" voted, the charts would be more °@1up-to-date. But who are we to judge who can vote and who can't? We can't sit and say "You can vote.. You CAN'T vote because you're not cool enough... You.. hmmm you're almost cool enough to vote but.. no.. And this dude can vote, but this one can't..." You get the idea? For this reason we think it's better that everyone can vote. Clash/Paradox would also like to see a "Best intros" chart... well we will think about it - for the moment, let's just settle with the fact that Paradox is undoubtably Nr. 1 on this chart. We don't think anyone would disagree that Paradox is the Number One intro group in the world. @2----------------------------------- °@3Tricky T of Genesis: @1Thanks a lot for the nice picture you sent us. We might use it some time in the future. I hope it's ok if we take out the Crusaders logo and use only that, ok? Anyway - why didn't you vote for the charts? @2----------------------------------- @3Proxt of Cave... @1...wrote us a nice letter with a few questions etc. We'll try to answer them here: @3How do we handle the votes, calculate the results etc.? @1We have developed a special program °@1for helping us keep track of all the percentages etc. All we do is tap in the votes (mostly we just tap in numbers), then we use the program to generate the lists, including percentages etc. and just include them in the EuroChart. @3How many vote sheets do you get for each issue? @1For the Nov-90 issue, we counted 402 votes. For the Jan-91, we estimate the number to about 350. (We write this before counting them, see?) @3How many use the DiskBack Service, after you started to charge one disk as payment for it? °@1For the Nov-90 issue, there was about 90 DiskBack users. The way it looks now, there will be about 100 for the Jan-91 issue. @3Who takes care of sending all those disks back to people with the new EuroChart? @1We do. (i.e. El Cubo, Dr.Awesome and Lazerbrain of Crusaders) @3Hope the answers are satisfying. Also, thanks for the ideas, the one with "best stuff" is quite a good one. But the EuroChart is growing quite big now, and it takes quite a bit of time to do changes like this. We will think about it, though. °@2TCB of Pussy@1 wrote to us and pointed out that we should not place @3Flash Prod.@1 in the Pack-disks chart, because they don't make packs any more. First of all TCB, it is @2not@1 we who put @3anyone@1 in any of the charts. It is the hundreds of voters - so tell them, not us! Is there really someone out there who @3still@1 thinks that @3we@1 decide on the charts??? In that case, you have not understood what the EuroChart is all about... Second, as far as we know, Flash Prod. are still making the @3"Evolution"@1 packs. Thanks to Pussy for spreading vote sheets for us! °@2A little message to @3Anarchy@1, the authors of "@1Stolen Data@2": Great mag - we think maybe you should double check what you write in it, though. For example, @3Dr.Awesome@2 is not a member of @1Walkman@2... In fact, Walkman is not a group - he's a guy. Second, @3Grubi@2 is not a member of @1Crusaders@2. He's a member of @3Brainstorm@2. Third, @1Alcatraz@2 is spelled with a C, not with a K. We found these mistakes ONLY in the "Best musicians" charts... You have a neat mag, but you should take a bit more time proof reading and checking information. Keep on truckin'! °@1To @2Alliax@1 in France: Thanks for your votes and the letter. No, I was not in France in October/November. Signed: Dr.Awesome To @2Maestro / Kefrens: @1 Thanks for sorting out a few "bugs" for us. If you see any more of'em - let us know. To @2Swapperjack / Euphoria@1: We really do appreciate that you spread vote sheets and collect votes for us, but please note a few things: °@31)@1 All the votes you collected looked more or less like 20 guys had been sitting in the same room and voted for eachother, and for you. @32)@1 Can you please tell your voting friends that we do not find their "humourous" voting very funny. Either they vote properly, or they don't vote at all. Counting the votes is one *shitty* job, and when we're in the middle of this, the last thing we want is poor jokes like "Best single - Beethoven" etc. etc. etc. It's wasting our time, and we didn't even laugh once. We know that it really isn't your fault - and we DO appreciate you helping us. So the message above is really more to your voting friends, than to yourself. ®þ@3LIST OF VOTERS þ @1This section contains the names of all the voters for this issue of the EuroChart. We wish to thank each and every one of you for taking part - the EuroChart wouldn't be what it is without all of you. Don't forget: Next issue 1st of March - all votes welcome, as usual. If you expected to find your name in the list, but can't find it, it is possible that your votes arrived too late. In that case, they will be counted for the next issue.

Zuggly / Crusaders @2----------------------------------- @1 Once again: Thank you all! ®þ@3JOKES ! þ @2You are most welcome to send us cool jokes for the next issue of the EuroNews. The more, the better! @3Here we go: @1 The female teacher asked the class: "Does anyone know why cows have such funny faces?" After some time, little Ken says: "Wouldn't you have a funny face, if you had your tits squeezed twice a day, and only got fucked once a year?" @2 - What's the name of Santa's girlfriend? - Mary Christmas.. °@3There was a worm eating the leaf of a watercress in a little pond. A bird lands nearby, sees the worm, gets closer, but decides to eat the worm when the worm has got a little tastier after eating some more of the leaf. A cat sees the bird and decides to eat it. The cat gets closer and closer and sees that the bird is watching the worm. It waits a bit longer and eventually it jumps towards the bird. It is a near miss and the cats ends up in the pond. The bird flies away. The little worm gets underneath the leaf. What do we learn from this ? The longer the foreplay, the wetter the pussy gets. °@1- What's the favrourite x-mas song in South Africa? - That's easy - "White Christmas".. @2 "And how are we today?" the Doctor asks the patient one day at the hospital. "Well," says the patient; "by the way you look and I feel, we should both be dead!" @3 A man was out driving nearby a farm. He suddenly saw a chicken jump out in front of his car. He tried to stop the car but... "SQUASH!" The man picked up the chicken and rang the doorbell at the farm. The farmer opened up, and the man said "Is this your chicken Sir?". "No" said the farmer, "..mine aren't that flat." °@1The wife to her husband: "I made that soup after a receipt I saw on TV." The husband: "Really? Well I better go see what's wrong with our antenna then..." @2 This one happened in Canada: In an indian village the people asked their meidicine man what kind of a winter will the next one be. The medicine man studied the nature and told the people that the winter would be very cold and long. Indian women went to the mountains to collect wood for the coming winter. °@2The medicine man wondered, will it really be that bad a winter. He went to city met and asked them. "The winter will be very bad", was the immediate answer. "How can you tell that so sure?", asks the medicine man. "The indian women are collecting wood in the mountains", was the answer. @1 How many cops does it take to change a light bulb? 10. One to change the bulb, and 9 to write the report. @2 How many programmers does it take to change a light bulb? None. It's a hardware problem. °@3Two gays were walking down the street when another gay passes by. The one gay says: "That guy is a real good fuck!" The other one replies: "No SHIT!" The first on says: "Well hardly any....." @2 Did you hear about the Swedish parachute, it opens on impact..... @3 To all girls: What's the dumbest part of a man? His prick. (It's got no brains, its best friends are two nuts, and it lives right next door to an asshole...) °@2Best@3 joke this time: @1 A guy entered a bar he'd never been to before. He noticed a monkey sitting by the bar, but didn't really think much about it - he just wanted a beer, so he ordered one. The monkey kept looking at the guy and when the guy got his beer, the monkey seemed very interested in it. It kept staring at the beer, and this guy was beginning to feel a bit awkward about it, but tried to enjoy his beer anyway. After a while, to the man's utter surprise, the monkey suddenly pulled out it's "willie" and urinated in the beer! The guy got furious of course, and asked the °@1bartender who owned this godforsaken monkey.. "The piano player owns him, he's over there playing right now." the bartender says. The guy walks up to the piano player and says: "Hey, do you know your monkey just pissed in my beer??!" "No", says the piano player, "but if you hum a few bars, I can fake it!" :-D @2Here's the most disgusting joke we have received this time. It was sent by Genesis of IMX Australia: °@3- What's the last thing that goes through a baby's mind when it's being raped to death? - A dick. @2What can we say? Gross. @3Here's one that was submitted to our board, by Shady of MegaExpo: @1Ok, there was this old bum, ya know. He walked from house to house and tried to bum things (like bums do). Anyway(s), one night he came upon a house and knocked on the door. A farmer opened the door and asked him his business. The bum asked for a place to stay for the night, and perhaps some food. The farmer was willing to give him °@1food and shelter in the barn. The bum then asked if he could stay inside, perhaps on a sofa or even better in a bed as he had this bad back, ya see. Well, the farmer agreed after a long period of thinking. The bum could stay in the farmer's and his wife's bed if he promised not to fuck his wife. The bum agreed to do so and came inside. They ate supper and went to bed. The wife was already in bed, so the bum dropped next to her as the farmer was still downstairs. The bum lay there for a while before he forgot his good intentions and fucked the wife of the farmer. After he finished the farmer came up and they all slept... The next day the farmer called from downstairs to the bum °@1to come down for breakfast. The bum then had a sudden sense of regret for doing such a hideous thing to a good man's wife, so the least he could to do he thought was to clean her up. As said as done, and then he went downstairs. The farmer looked at him frowned and then said to the bum: "Hey, didn't I tell you not to touch my wife????". Well, the bum said that he had so, but he was mighty curious about how the farmer could know he banged his wife???? "Well," said the farmer,"ya see, you got little white maggots all around your face, as my wife has been dead in bed for over two months!!! °@2That's the end of our Jokes section for this issue. If you've heard a good joke lately, why not share it with the rest of the EuroNews readers? ®þ@2ABOUT THE EUROCHART þ@1 If you're an old EuroChart reader, you've probably read this a hundred times before, so just skip to the next section, ooOOrait! All new EuroChart fans, read on... The EuroChart is different from other charts, because everyone is invited to vote - not just a few selected groups. It doesn't matter if you're a leader of a big group, or just an average user, everyone can take part in the EuroChart, and all votes are treated equally. °@1The people behind the EuroChart are @3Crusaders@1, located in Norway. Main organizers are El Cubo and Dr.Awesome, but with good help from the rest of Crusaders, and guys from other groups too. (Check the "Thanks" section) The votes are counted every 2nd month, and the results are presented in a "demo/diskmag-like" program. You've just been watching it, before you entered into this section, which is the EuroNews. The EuroNews and The Gallery sections are both integrated parts of the EuroChart. Also on these sections, everyone is invited to take part. °@1If you want to send your votes, any news, a joke or a photo for The Gallery, send it to: Crusaders EuroChart Po.Box 45 1474 Nordbyhagen NORWAY Votes, news, jokes and photos are always welcome! @2A few hints for the voting: @1 You don't have to have a special EuroChart voting form. You can write your votes down on any old piece of paper. One guy had ripped out a page from the phone book... another guy ripped off some of his °@1wallpaper and voted on it. (PS. This is TRUE!) The EuroChart is now a SCENE ONLY chart. That means, no more entries such as "Graphics from 'Beast'" or "The coders of 'Elite'". Only persons from the scene will be in the Charts. When you vote for more than one group/person/whatever, then the first one you write down will get 3 points, the second 2 points, and all thereafter 1 point each. For example: "Red Sector, Paradox, Scoopex, Angels, Kefrens, Skid Row" - this would give 3 points to Red Sector, 2 points to Paradox and 1 each to all the others. ®þ@2ABOUT THE EURONEWS þ@2 The idea behind it all: @1We always thought that one of the most interesting parts of the many disk-mags was the "News & Info" part. So we decided to introduce a little mini-diskmag, with ONLY this part. After working with the idea a bit, we decided to include an "Advertisements" section and a "Jokes" section as well. We will gladly accept any news sent in by our readers. Also, for this reason, we can not go about and check that every news item is true. So we'll take our precautions: °@3*@1 News or messages that are insulting to other groups or persons are not welcome, and will not be printed. We've been "burned" on this before, and we learned our lesson. @3*@1 Some of the news presented are just stuff we've heard, and we pass them on to you. We do not guarantee that everything is true. We can't possibly check everything. @3*@1 Not-so-serious news are also accepted and welcome. Let's not get too serious, and forget that it's all supposed to be fun. Right? ®þ@2ABOUT THE GALLERY þ@1 @3The Gallery@1 is an integrated part of the EuroChart. For every release we will bring you pictures of various guys from the scene. Of course, we don't want to print only pictures of ourselves, so anyone interested in having their pretty face displayed in The Gallery, should dig up a photo and send it to us. @3You don't have to worry about digitizing etc. Simply send us the photo and we will take care of the rest. °@2Group photos are best - collect as many members of your group as possible and get a picture taken! If you have a cute girlfriend, send us a picture of her, and watch her face when she sees herself on the screen! In a program from Norway! Hehe. @3We're sorry to say that we don't have the capacity to send the photos back to you.. so if you send us a photo, you will not get it back. (Unless you use the DiskBack Service, in which case we will send it to you with the disk). We hope you can live with this. @1If you send one photo with several guys on it, remember to write who is who on the photo - For example: °@1Left to right: Dode 1, Dude 2, Dude 3 etc. We will not use a picture if we don't know who's in it. ®þ@3ABOUT THE DISKBACK SERVICE þ@2 If you would like to receive the EuroChart, The EuroNews and The Gallery directly in your mailbox, immediately after the release date, then do the following: @3*@1 Write down your votes for the EuroChart on a piece of paper. @3*@1 Write your name and address clearly on a 3.5" disk. @3*@1 Pick up one more fully working 3.5" disk to pay for the DiskBack Service. °@3*@1 Send your votes and the two disks to the EuroChart address. @3*@1 Wait for the goodies to appear in your mailbox! @2A few "rules" to follow: @3*@1 You can @2not@1 send return postage instead of the extra disk. The DiskBack Service costs one fully working 3.5" disk. This covers the postage @2and@1 the work we put into it. @3*@1 If you send us an unuseable disk, you get the same unuseable disk back. @3*@1 If you send two unuseable disks, you get nothing back. ®þ@3ADVERTISEMENTS þ@1 There are very few actual advertisements this time, since this is the first time we've had them. More ads will turn up later. If you would like your advertisement printed in the EuroNews, just send us your ad on a disk. We will keep the disk as payment. @2Follow these instructions: @3*@1 Use a text editor, not a word processing program @3*@1 Max 35 characters wide @3*@1 Max 22 lines tall °@3Here's an example: @2********************************** * * *@3 F3-KEY STILL WANTED! @2 * * * *@1 Anyone who has an extra F3-key @2* *@1 should immediately send it to: @2* * * *@3 Dr.Awesome @2* *@3 Kroken 9 @2* *@3 2010 Strommen @2* *@3 NORWAY @2* * * *@1 I'll give you an F5-key and a @2* *@1 can of prize-winning Norwegian @2* *@1 beer in exchange! @2* *@1 @2* *@3 P.S: Anyone interested in @2* *@3 swapping keys? @2* * * ********************************** °@3Note!@1 An advertisement costs one disk @2and@1 the DiskBack Service costs one disk. So, if you want to use the DiskBack Service @3and@1 place an advertisement, you should send us 3 disks, of which we will return 1 with the latest EuroChart + EuroNews + The Gallery. We might give away free advertisements to those who have helped us a lot with the EuroChart. Right, here are the few advertisements we have this time... °@3 ********************************* * * * @2A M I G A@3 * * * * @1 F R E E L A N C E R S @3 * ********************************* * * *@2 We need more coders ! @3 * * * * Would you like to be a member * * of Amiga Freelancers, the group * * behind "ProTracker", contact * * us! * * * * Amiga Freelancers * * Bekkelivn. 10 * * 2010 Strommen * * NORWAY * * * ********************************* °@2 *********************************** **** **** ** @1Wanna swap with@2 ** * * ** @3C@2 R@1 U@3 S@2 A@1 D@3 E@2 R@1 S@3 ?@2 ** **** **** *********************************** **** **** ** @3Swapperboy@1 of Crusaders@2 ** * @1has completed his military@2 * * @1duty time, and is collecting@2 * * @1contacts!@2 * * * * @1Swapperboy/Crusaders@2 * * @1Fetvn. 819 @2 * * @11900 Fetsund @2 * * @1NORWAY @2 * * * ** @3Elite only, please!@2 ** **** **** *********************************** °@1 ----------------------------------- - - -@3 A B U S I V E @1 - -@2 ---------------@1 - -@3 We're looking for both members@1 - -@3 and contacts!
