Gee, this is wonderful.  in the latest AC there was a
knock-down-drag-through-the-mud-AmigaWorld-is-the-Anti-Christ-of-publications
and the turn around and copy the AmigaWorld Tech Journals lead.  i looked
through the AC tech journal and thought to myself "so what's so tech about
this?"  I mean, it was filled with beginners articles that have always been in
the regular AC.  while the AmigaWorld Tech Journal had helpful thought out
articles for those that already know quite a bit about the machine, but don't
happen to have any experience in that particular area.  I will NEVER buy
another issue of AC since the last editorial and found the AC Tech Journal to
be worthless.  i had previously liked AC, felt they covered some areas that
were left out by many other publications, but AC's Attitude lately has been so
hypocritical that it offends my sensibilities.  well, sorry for the bandwidth,
but i just felt that needed to be said.
