[AmigoTimes death story deleted]

^This is a real sad situation, not only for the staff and authors of
^AmigoTimes who have been shafted, but for the Amiga community as well.
^During the course of the last few months, AmigoTimes, Amiga Transactor,
^Amiga Sentry, Ahoy's AmigaUser, and AMnews have all bitten the dust.
^(The Amigan, too, but that one due to the publisher's poor health, not
^due to financial ineptitude).  Talk about a publishing shakeout! In
^about six months we lost HALF of our dedicated-magazine base!
^ 
^As for who's left... I see Amiga World, Compute's Amiga Resource, 
^Antic's AmigaPlus, Amazing Computing and JumpDisk as the survivors.
^(I'm counting Amiga-specific magazines here, not general interest
^computer mags which happen to also have an Amiga columnist, such as
^Computer Shopper and Compute). Oh, and INFO, which hopefully is still
^going monthly in a few months.  What's happening with INFO's planned
^merger with AmigoTimes at this point, I don't know.  I'd sure like
^to find out, though.  

There are two magazines that I've seen recently...A.X. Magazine's Amiga
Software & Information and Graf/X.  I think they are owned by the same people.
Some of their articles are good but they seem to have a big problem with page
numbering and article placement.  They are located in Beltsville (or Greenbelt)
Md.  If anyone wants more information send me mail.

I haven't decided if I want to subscribe yet or not...
