	Hard to believe, but I found a positive thing to say about the 
Mac coverage being in A+/InCider..

	Now that there's Mac coverage in there, there are ads for hard
drives with reasonable price tags! $505 for a Syquest based cartridge
drive!  Good prices!

	None of this ripoff Vulcan and Applied Ingenuity drives stuff..
(Yeah I know AI is dead).

	Cheap, reasonable SCSI drive prices... Sure there were SCSI 
drive ads before, but never before with good price tags.. I think 
when you saw Syquest based drives before, they were at least $800 or
above..

	Not that I buy A+/Incider, I just took a look at it when I was
in a bookstore the other day... It still had mostly Apple II stuff in it..
[old info mainly]  I was thinking of sending 'em a letter saying how
much easier it is for someone just to get an account with UseNet
access and read info that's much more up to date and you don't have to
deal with the Mac garbage like you do in A+/InCider..  They wouldn't
publish it most likely but it'd be nice..

	Their retrospective was kind of nice.


	And, while on the discussion of magazines, I'll tell a little
about one that has nothign to do with the Apple II but I still looked
through and found to be nice..

	I don't remember the name, but it's the premiere issue of
a magazine for the NeXT computer. It's not a bound magazine (like
A+/InCider), it's just folded in half and stapled (like Rolling Stone
and Premiere)..

	It was quite a neat magazine, and one of the really cool
things was that it had a column called "comp.sys.next" which summarized
recent developments from the comp.sys.next newsgroup.

	Wow! A "popular" {as opposed to techy} publication that realizes
the existance of UseNet!
