Try Bob Wilkinson.  He did a very good debugger (excuse the language),
called SINGLE STEP, for the Speccy.  I'm sure he converted it for the SAM or
was it the Amstrad.  Ask him anyway, he needs a project.

Well I don't use Outlook myself (I hate it) but here's my guess, its
because you have multiple users/profiles for outlook so it doesn't keep
passwords for security reasons.

Yes it doesn't receive emails. Its slightly restricted being the free
version. Its a full featured newsgroup package and you can send emails
from it but not receive. Of course cough up for the full package and
you'll get that too plus killfile options. I know your probably thinking
'can't receive emails, what a pile of rubbish' but check it out anyway
if you deal with newsgroups you won't regret it.

its just newsgroups its not so good at. Its what I use anyway.

Or three, if you count the Sam version which is the one everybody's
talking about... neither of the above cheats work...

Note that if you press the NMI (Break) Button, the words "TEST MODE" 
appear flashing at the bottom left of the scren. I remeber talking to

As far as I remember, there ain't no infinite lives *cheat* unless you POKE
it yrself.
There is a level skip cheat, though. There's two versions of Manic Miner:

Bug Byte version: type 6031769
A 'boot' will appear and you can skip level by holding down the 6 key and
also a combination of keys from 1 to 5. (eg press 6+1+3 at the same time,
etc)

Software Projects version: as above, but the cheat is TYPEWRITER


ps - I just laughed when I got told 6031769 was also I cheat in Grand Theft
Auto. I lurve DMA for it.
