I'd like to make this group aware of a great (relatively) new magazine
called "Midnight Engineering", The Journal of Personal Product Engineering.
This magazine is aimed at us, the people who are trying to make a business
fly from our basements.

Already it has an all-star cast of writers including Don Lancaster, 
Gary Entsminger, Karl Lunt, Clark Calkins, Larry Fogg, Ralph Lindstrom,
Vladymir Rogov (of Rogov Design Studio) and last but not least, ME!

In case you think this cast of characters looks a lot like
"MicroCornucopia", it is no mere coincidence.  The publisher, William
Gates (not the %&^*^* bill gates!) picked up the subscription list and
many of the writers from "Microcorucopia".  And unlike David Thompson,
Bill is pacing his growth so as to (hopefully) avoid burnout.

I've had the urge to write professionally for many years but this is the
first magazine good enough to actually make me get up off my duff and do
it!  It's that good.  My first article will appear in the next issue  
(Volume 1, Number 6) and is about - you guessed it - using contract
engineering as a means of financing a startup. 

The cover price is kinda rough at $6 but the subscription price is
reasonable - $19.95 for a year of 6 issues, 7 if you pay with your
subscription.  Circulation is currently at about 25,000 and the magazine
is in the newstand distribution channel.  If you're interested, call 
Bill at 303-225-0856 or write to him at 

Midnight Engineering Magazine
111 E. Drake Rd.
Ste 7041
Ft. Collins, CO 80525

Bill will send you a sample mag on request.  If you call, be prepared to
chat a spell, as Bill LOVEs to talk :-)  Be sure to tell him you saw my
notice on Usenet.  I'm encouraging him to become a presence on the net
and I'd like for him to see the size of the user base.

John
