Call-A.P.P.L.E. went quarterly beginning with the July issue. The publishers
discovered that both revenue and reader services could be handled more
efficiently in this fashion. With my column, for instance, I found myself
breaking what was intended as one installment down into three or four monthly
installments. With a quarterly, that's no longer necessary. Columns will run
whole, even if it does take 16 pages (like the one in the upcoming issue).

Also, there has been some discussion here recently to the effect that
Call-A.P.P.L.E. might be going out of business. That is not the case.
TechAlliance will no longer be selling third-party software and hardware, but
that's just because there's no longer a need for it. Mail-order houses are a
dime a dozen. The magazine, bulletin board, and other services you value are
going to keep progressing as always.
