   I think what is needed here is a letter writing campaign to the magazines
complaining about these ads. I once wrote to .info about it & was told that
they kept running the ad because they had no complaints. These magazines need
to be told what a diservice they are doing to the Amiga community by accepting
ads from Montgomery Grant. I get upset every month when I see that ad and
wonder how many other people are going to order from them because the ad is in
a reputable magazine.
