I'd be curious to hear if anyone else has similar feelings as > my own. I've been a long time STart subscriber, as well, and I think the STart Classic programs are kind of bogus too. I'd wager a fair percentage of those 'new' subscribers from ST-Log already had STart subs. and the new subscribers from Analog don't care what's on the disk, cuz they're 8-bitters! But, on the plus side, they're moving to double sided format next issue. This will effectively double the amount of software they're able to include with each issue. So that'll be an improvement in the amount stuff they'll be putting on each issue. -- /**************************************************************************/ /* Kent Dalton * EMail: Kent.Dalton@FtCollins.NCR.COM */ /* NCR Microelectronics * CIS: 72320,3306 */ /* 2001 Danfield Ct.
