It's a funny thing -- everybody's just SO terribly upset that Incider/A+
(or is it the other way around -- whatever) is adding Mac coverage (again),
when that magazine, and nearly every other magazine for Macintosh and Apple
II's are basically garbage.  Anybody can get FAR more information, coverage,
and all the threads on new "stuff" by reading and getting involved in
network news regularly.  Of course, the only problem with this is that there
are a great many users out there who aren't on any network.

The only magazines I've found worth reading are the old "Open-Apple", the
[defunct] "Call -A.P.P.L.E.", and SOME of the articles in the "APDAlog" --
before it switched entirely to Macintosh stuff.  The last one I received (
more than a year or so ago) had about 8 pages of Apple II stuff (total,
including articles), and the rest was Mac this, Mac that.  Why so much hype
about overpriced junk? -- Okay, not really junk, but most certainly
overpriced (by ANY standard).  It just bugs me... Is there actually
anything NEW for the IIgs anymore?  I can't think of anything.

P.S. Blah blah lbah (the usual stuff) -- Email me, don't post messages,
since I can never (almost) read them.  My internet address is:
