Here's your chance to put the "home" into home computing

Find the lines and WIN this versatile package

HOW carefully do you read your Micro User? We're asking because Percival, our demented programmer, has managed to concoct the awful program you can see here.

What he's done is to take lines, or parts of lines, from listings in this month's Micro User and put them in one renumbered program.

It's got us completely baffled, so we have decided to use it as the subject of this month's contest.

Can you help us sort the lines out? All we want you to do is to fill in the coupon below, giving each line its correct number and telling us the page of the magazine you found it on.

We'd also like to know the kind of program you would most like Micro User to list in a future issue - no more than 20 words, please.

The reward for the lucky prizewinners is Gemini's new Combination Home Software Pack.

Each pack contains five programs designed for you to use the power of the micro in your own home. These consist of:

* Database - store you records in a computerised card index.
* Home Accounts — budget and record you expenditure.
* Mail List - keep track and sort your address book.
* Graph Plot — see what those figures really mean.
* Spreadsheet - plan for the future with this calculating and editing program.

All in all, it's a winning combination of programs, so why not enter? But remember — we have to receive your coupon no later than April 30, 1984.

PERCIVAL'S PROGRAM

JANUARY CONTEST WINNER

The winner of our January contest was Mr RJ. Gallafent of London. He received his AMS 3 inch drives as the result of the following lyrical effort:

How can I tell thee
Can I count the ways
in which disc systems save
those wasted days?
Rotating data
ever will surprise
and give me time
to gaze more in thine eyes.
So be not harsh!
the cash I spent on time
to render me
more permanently thine.
