Manual/2?Intro

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

INTRODUCTION
************


To those pilots who have just passed the Galactic Space and Interstellar
Pilots� exams, congratulations!

This is an exciting era in which to begin your career. We wish you the
greatest success and hope this manual will be both your friend, and your
teacher.

Please do not let this new life worry you as to live on the edge is to live
to the fullest. We advise that risks should be taken, but not
indiscriminately sought. When opportunity beckons, grasp it and then, without
veering off direction, move straight to your goal. Accept fate�s whims:
regret and bitterness are unhelpful companions in the search for greatness. 

To be �lite is to be sublime, to feel the intensity of terror and the
calmness of power simultaneously.

�Fear is only in your head.
 So forget your head and you'll be free.�
