AVS-AMIGA
DISKS
INTRODUCTION
The following list of disks is sorted three
ways - according to the type of work contained on it, the age of
the disk (from oldest to newest) and the level of desirability or
collectability (from most to least). Hopefully this will prevent
those people who are after my work from selecting a second or
third rate example when they could have gotten something much
better. I do know from past experience, however, that people have
the darnedest taste and will like stuff that I think has little
or no comparative value.
In order to ready this list for publication,
I've decided to omit a lot of disks that I would have otherwise
seen fit to include. There are simply too many disks in existence
to make such a list feasible. If you want a complete list of
disks that I've done, then contact me (I don't expect anyone to
take me up on this offer without first having requested/ordered
copies of much of the work listed here). I should be able to
supply such a list in 'AmigaGuide' format - which is a much more
convenient form to refer to it.
Readers should let me know if they want to
order, or otherwise access, this material. I have a couple of
spare megabytes with my ISP-provided space - but nowhere near
enough for all of this.
