It seems that the publishers of a2-Central and Areil got together and have now combined. 8/16 will no longer be avaliable in paper format, but instead will be disk only. It is now under the name 8/16-Central. It more or less looks like 8/16 on disk, so I do not think it really has lost anything. Unfortunatly, for those of us who subscribe to the paper issue because of price (or other reasons) will now have to pay the $69 yearly fee for the disk version if we want to continue subscribing. Grant, I think 8/16 is very good, but I don't know if I can fork out $70 a year. Well, I still have three months to get the money, but it does seem to be just too much.
