They said they'd always be |just an Apple Magazine. now they have let the Mac's use our magazine. There |hasta be close to a dozen Mac Magazines. how many Apple Magazines are there?? |3 (Counting GS+). Why must the main Apple II magazine open its doors to the |MACS?? Let them use their other magazines. Leave ours alone!!!! | |Mark Steiger I support you boycott. But why would you want to bring inCider/A+ back to the fold...they want to go - let them go!! They won't last ten minutes as a pure Mac magazine. If you've read Dan Muse and Paul Statt's editorials (not to mention that David Thornburg atrocity a few months ago) over the last six months, you'll see where their interests lie. It's clear that they're Mac users masquerading as Apple II users. They talk down to Apple II users; It's very patronizing. There can be no question whose payroll they are on...Apple's. Don't just stop subscribing...let them know about it. Write inCider and tell them up which bodily orifice they can stick their magazine. ---------------------------------- | MARK A.
