I have to disagree somewhat.  I read both magazines and type in some of the
programs.  In the last 1 to 2 years, I have never had a case of a bad
program from ANTIC.  I can't say that about Analog.  Especially bad was
their Wheel of Fortune type of game from last December.  I typed it in,
tried to run it and ran into all kinds of problems.  I went to the trouble
of debugging it to the extend of my capability.  I sent my notes and
comments to them and talked to someone at their booth at the Summer CES,
all to no avail.  I never got a response, nor did I see any kind of
correction information in any subsequent issues.  I think the version that
came on their disk was OK though, because there was one letter from a
reader saying what a great program it was.  I can guarentee you he didn't
type it in from the magazine.  In general, Analog's coverage of news in
the industry seems to be better though, and they have more reviews.
