Unfortunately, the magazine was never published due to contractual obligations. The ad itself was circulated privately and has become a collector's item of sorts, as it is absolutely indistinguishable from the original Osborne ad, except for text, of course. It even fooled John Dvorak, "expert" on many subjects, who devoted one of his InfoWorld columns to it, thinking it had "actually appeared in one of the munitions magazines". Original prints may become available in the next few months, depending on demand (this according to the creator of the original ad); send me requests by email and I can let you know later if this occurs. -- Dave Fiedler {harpo,astrovax,whuxcc,clyde}!infopro!dave People Phone: (201) 989-0570 USMail: InfoPro Systems, 3108 Route 10, Denville, NJ 07834 Caldwell Tower, this is 16 Lima inbound for Runway 4 with information Idiot...
