No, it's not available without the disk. There was a letter in the first issue begging them to sell it without the disk, but they said absolutely not. Also, the thing was full of typos! I couldn't believe a professional magazine was so poorly edited. On the other hand, some of the things they plan to cover seem promising. But I don't think $16 per issue is a reasonable price to pay. Considering that the cost of bulk disks is negligible! (Also, either the Parnet or Sernet file on mine (can't remember which) was corrupted. But then again, nowhere does it say it was even supposed to be included!) Is Amazing's Tech magazine any better? I haven't been able to find it locally, in fact I didn't even know it had been published yet until you mentioned that they were on the second issue! -- * From the disk of: | jms@vanth.uucp | "You know I never knew Jim Shaffer, Jr. | amix.commodore.com!vanth!jms | that it could be so 37 Brook Street | uunet!cbmvax!amix!vanth!jms | strange..."
