Sigh. Unfortunately, the number one best Amiga programming magazine,
"Transactor for the Amiga" is no more. I have yet to see a non-fluffy type
magazine for the Amiga since then. My advice is to:

   a. Get back issues of "Transactor for the Amiga"
   b. Get the ROM Kernel Reference Manuals
   c. Ask questions here on usenet, 'cause you'll usually find someone
      who knows what they're doing or who can at least provide tips.
   d. Consider joing CATS (Commodore-Amiga Technical Support, I believe). I
      haven't done this, but I probably should.

What we need is a few people who want to spend some of their free time
organizing a Usenet Amiga programming journal of some sort. However, I'm
afraid that it would take a lot of free time and interest.
