And there is a real-world example right before my eyes. As I already told here, the best and biggest general-computer magazine in Germany is "c't". It's mainly PC oriented, but it also KNOWS the Amiga (and, well, ST and Mac). So when it is appropriate, they also mention the Amiga (e.g. talking graphics, multitasking, multimedia). And the result: They have totally outgrown some competing magazines that cover PC and Mac only. So: Competence sells, this is my opinion and experience. > Magazines do not write for computers. Magazines >write for PEOPLE. Yes, and readers demand from the magazines to get informed fully and correctly. -- Best regards, Dr. Peter Kittel // E-Mail to \\ Only my personal opinions...
