There seems to be a new player in the Amiga magazine arena.  I recently picked
up a copy of the premier issue of Amiga GRAF/x, published by Hahn-Wallace 
Publishing Group (listed as a bimonthly publication.  I see that Harv Laser is
one of the authors for this premier issue with a discussion of a Canon Xap Shot/
Progressive Peripherals FrameGrabber combination.  IMHO, it's a pretty slick,
professional looking publication.  Has anyone else looked at it ? (BTW, I
picked it up at a Software, Etc. outlet).
