 Subject: Amiga Plus does not pay its authors.

    I am conducting a survey of authors that have had a 
article/program published in Amiga Plus.  Please email me your 
experiences with this disk based magazine.  If there are enough of us
that have not been paid in a timely fashion, we might be able to start 
a class action suit against them.

    Please send your mail to ...!ucsd!nosc!we!keithw.

    I know this sounds a bit extreme, but I have been waiting for 
about  six(6) months to be paid.  My program was published in the 
Aug/Sept issue which hit the newstands around July 5, 1990.  After 
numerous phone calls to them, I have concluded that they are never 
going to tell me the truth about when they will pay me.

    I recently sent them a letter warning them that I was going to 
initiate legal action if I did not receive payment by December 30, 
1990.  In response  to this, they sent me a check for 1/5 of what they 
owed me.  I guess that they thought they could forestall legal action 
this way.  Well, I am so pissed off at them for all the other stuff 
that they have done, that I have decided to go ahead and sue them.  
The question is, what is the best way to hurt them the most.  The 
possibilities are: small claims court, Class Action suit, and/or use 
the RICO statutes.
