Comments: The magazine is designed for experienced computer users who own the ST computer. It contains high-end information that requires a good grounding in computer fundamentals and practices. The articles do not include program listings that you can type in. They are all included on a disk that comes bound in the magazine if you buy the $14.95 version or that can be bought separately if you just buy the $4 magazine. This is the only issue of the magazine I plan to submit to the net. If another user wants to do so, feel free. Kit Kimes AT&T--Information Systems Labs 1100 E. Warrenville Rd.
