I know both Lee Pappas, publisher of ANALOG, and Clay Walnum, Editor, and I'm sure both of them would be dismayed to hear this... They've both said that LFP invested enough money into the magazine that any thought of its being a "tax writeoff" was just silly. Everyone tried to make it a success, but there was just no way to pay the bills in the US Atari marketplace... BobR
