Keywords: What Amiga Magazines are available, and where?


I just downloaded the recently posted "spool.shar" file, which looks
like it will really be fantastic!  I haven't had time to compile
it yet, but from the man page it looks pretty nifty.

Which brings me to the subject of this note  --  what magazines are
there (available in US) that are devoted to the Amiga?  The above
program hails from Amy Magazine, a publication I have never heard
of!  To be honest, the only amiga-type mag I know and read is
AmigaWorld.  I have heard of "amazing computing" and "transactor"
on this net, but don't know where, when, if, or how to buy them.
Someone said to look in B. Daltons -- I checked (yes, it is true,
it was a month ago, but still) -- and they had about 50 computer
magazines, but none of those above except AmigaWorld.

So I was wondering if someone would like to post a canonical guide
to amiga publications, listing perhaps the title, issues per year,
subscription cost, where to write to get a subscription, and magazine
format (eg: glossy, newsletter, etc).  If anyone interested in doing
this is ambitions, they could also put down their impression of the mag.

Here's a starter.  Yeah, I know everyone has AmigaWorld, but it is the
only one I have, so...

Title: AmigaWorld,  Issues per year: 6, Cost: $14.97/yr, $3.95/issue
Where to write: CW Communications/Peterborough; AmigaWorld
                PO Box 868; Farmingdale, NY 11737.
Format: Glossy ~100pages.  Impression: lots of fluff, but good ads
and the reviews are getting better.  Wish there were 12 issues...

PS: Here's one that I just found on the net...

Title: The Amigan Apprentice & Journeyman, Issues: 6/year, Cost: $24/year
Where to buy: The Amigans; Box 411; Hatteras, NC 27943,
Format: Newsletter.  Impression: PD Software reviews (???)
