>Does anyone realize Computerworld and Amigaworld are owned by the same
>company?
    IDG Communications own pretty much all the magazines w/ a _____World
moniker.  This, I believe includes PCWorld, MacWorld, AmigaWorld, etc....
They are a huge company, and the only thing that these mags have in common
is their parent company.  A few may share the same building and may
have a couple writers in common, but they are run w/ separates editorial
and writing staffs.  Also, it's not good business to mention other
platforms, simply because people don't want to hear about other computers
in their specific mags.  As for the general mags. like ComputerWorld, they
reflect their readers, which is pretty much the MS-DOS world.  Check the
advertisements.  I don't think you'll see many Amiga specific businesses.
Hence, few Amiga articles.
