_Workstation_ magazine is an independent mag that covers, but is not 
affiliated with, HP/Apollo.  When HP and Apollo first merged (remember that
old line of B.S.?), somebody got most of the Apollo customers' names to
the magazine.  I got a free subscription, which they then tried to bill me
for.  After that, I didn't get a copy for a while, and then it started popping
up again.  I think it's a worthwhile magazine, although it leans very heavily
toward HP, and carries little Apollo info.

I won't guarantee this, but the inside cover lists an e-mail address of
"cs.utexas.edu!pcinews!wks".  If this is correct, 'THANK YOU' TO _WORKSTATION_
MAGAZINE.
