This magazine is brought to you by the            Canadian Born Coders also known as CBC.                                                                                                                     We would like to thank RCN for giving us the Inspiration to publish our own   magazine. In addition, we'd like to commend all the people and groups that    make what the scene is today.                                                                                                                               We would also like to thank the Couriers. I mean without you guyz the         releases won't even reach Akira, PC or even L.A, BBX, or Enigma. Affinity     would like to give thanks to all couriering groups such as fATE, Amnesia,     RiSC, Everlast, Damage, Malice, and many others that we left out.                                                                                                                                                                           Future Plans                                                                                                                                                                                                            Affinity is in need of more Artists, Writers and Musicians. You the reader    can also help make us this magazine better by letting us know of your         thoughts.                                                                                                                                                   Our primary goal is to provide you, the readers, a fresh and balanced view    of the Scene. We will do anything and everything to bring you behind the      scences information and anything else of interest.                                                                                                          Remember that every story not only has one side but two, and Affintiy is      the second side. Therefore, give us a glace the next time we hit the          newstands.                                                                                                                                                  Last but not least, for all of you who are into coding. I'll be writing       articles on coding in Pascal and C++. In addition, we'll have a section       where we'd try to answer some of your queriers regarding compilers.           What do I mean? Hmm... The only way is to ask. So, if you're on the IRC       join #AFT and ask me, Mr. Mister what I have in store for your pleasure.                                                                                                                                                                    Programming                                                                                                                                                                                                             This magazine has been purley coded in Borland C++ v3.1, with some inline     assembly thrown in for speed. Affinity is not only gonna bring you the top    BBSes in the world because RCN does that pretty well. We are still trying     to bring ALL the major BBSes in EACH area code or city. For example, UK       where people think the scene is dead, but isn't in reality.                                                                                                 Currently, many users are trying to revive the UK scene. Affinity will keep   you posted. We'll also report on the major gimicks that the BBSes are         using to attract LD and local couriers. Such competition that will land       you a modem, an Internet Account, RAM, or even a P5. And that being the       the tip of the iceberg.                                                                                                                                     What are your thoughts on the kind of music you'd like you hear in future     additions of the magazine? I know listening to the same kind of FM-synth      music can become pretty boring sometimes, therefore, we will be adding        all sort of other music. If you are a music lover and if would like to        send us your music to be used for Affinity, then please join us in #AFT.      Send us the file with a description of what type of music it is. We would     prefere MODs but other formats are happily acceptable as well.                                                                                              And, yeah one more thing. Only English Music no Multi-Lingual stuff unless    it is overly awesome. (you know what I'm saying dude)                                                                                                                                                                                     Regards,                                                                                                                                                    Mr. Mister and Super Hacker.                                                                                                                              ͼ
