     |   here is certainly one good sign about PD these days. That is that
     |   the quality seems to be getting better all of the time! Although
     |   where there are good things there are bad things too!
     |   Take a look at a little selection sent in by you people and a few
     |   from us. Also I have changed the name of the section from a rather
     |	 plain PD to PUBLIC-ACCESS which sounds good even if it is spelt

There is harly any one with Workbench 1.3 left now, and there are loads
using 2.04/5 2.1. One great thing about 3.0 and 3.1 is that you can
load a picture as your background on the Workbench screen. Well now
Workbench 2 users can with Nickprefs. That's not all though as there
are two other utilitiys which are also of use to 3.0 and 3.1 users.
Floppy enables you to tell the Amiga how many times it should attempt
to read a corrupt disk before giving up. Where as Busy-Pointer enables
you to redesign the crappy Workbench Buzy clock. 3 Are provided. One is
the good old 1.3 sleepy pointer which was bad (But not as bad as 1.2's!)
but some loved it, the next is an excellent one (Which I use - ED)
which is a egg timer which spins around and pours the sand from one
section to the other, and there is the standard Workbench clock
but it has animated hands. You can even design your own and use 
animation frames in it. Wow! What a program:
