	For the past few issues, STart has been proudly announcing
their "STart classics" which they issue with the disk based
subscription.  The STart classics are nothing more than old programs
which they have already distributed with their subscriptions in past
issues, and are now being re-distributed for "new subscribers" who may
not have purchased them yet.

	I find this a load of horse kapooey.  A disk subscription
costs around $80 per year. As I have been a faithful STart
subscriber for about four years now, my faithfulness has now been met
by selling me software that I already own-- and last month's "STart
classic" was a program that I never used when I recieved it the fist
time.  I feel that STart is ripping me off with this deal, and I plan
to write a letter of complaint to the magazine-- what good that will
do me.  I'd be curious to hear if anyone else has similar feelings as
my own.

	Time to get off the soapbox here,
