Magazines stay alive through paid advertising. They can't be too picky. Let me take a moment to say that AmigaWorld stays alive via more than just paid advertising. At $29.95 (us) for a magazine that SMALLER than the WEEKLY Macweek publication, and with approximately the same number of adverts? Don't get me wrong, they have some good articles, I just find them a bit pricey for no more information than they have. BTW this ties in because they FREQUENTLY run full 2-page ads for Montgomery Grant, with no disclaimer in the back about MG not being an authorized dealer. Of course, this is only conjecture and should not be taken as gospel. ---------------------------------------------------------------- -Lou Williams Via Bitnet : william8@niehs.bitnet Via Internet: lou@vaxsc.niehs.nih.gov Computer Sciences Corporation, Research Triangle Park, NC ---------------------------------------------------------------- -Sometimes in order to feel better about yourself, you have to make others feel bad, and I'm tired of making others feel good about themselves. -Homer Simpson. ---------------------------------------------------------------- All of the above is only my opinion, and likely warped ones at that.
