I remember Softalk...damn fine rag. Someone should start publishing that
again.

I for one don't...many times I found myself accusing A+ of doing just what
inCider/A+ is doing now...inCider was fine until they bought A+ (well, I
didn't subscribe or buy inCider before they bought A+, to me, they were too
educationally oriented...too many Stickybear reviews) A+ was every bit the
paid propaganda mouthpiece that inCider/A+ is today (that is, after all,
IDG's forte - propaganda mouthpiece made to order). One hundred times out of
one hundred, I'd take Softalk over A+ or inCider/A+.

Anybody remember Peelings II, or Micro?
