Not just a few times from me, I would assume.  I will continue to insist that
it is one of the best Apple II newsletters there has ever been.

Did they say how they arrived at that figure?  $2.33 goes into $7 about three
times...  At $28/year, I would assume you signed up for three issues... looks
like he he paid you for the issue you didn't get.  I'd say that was probably
fair, although the line you quote is misleading.

Is that good or bad?  I'm confused (my normal state).

I hope that this makes people who read the net aware that they can get a trial
subscription to a great newsletter for next to nothing.
