I just looked in my mail box and here it is! On page 4 is a editoral by Lee Pappas and it just repeats the things he said in the interview that was posted to this group. It starts off with: "Hey, long time, no see." The editorial never mentions who bought ANALOG just say "under new ownership." But on the bottom of page 1: "ANALOG Computing is published monthly by L.F.P. Inc." It is 96 pages long and is now printed on a glossy paper. But it still isn't bound, just the usual ANALOG staple. It features a Action! game, a machine language game (they are printing the source code for machine language games again) and a few BASIC programs. They are still running the video games section for Atari, Sega and Nintendo. There is a article by Matthew Ratcliff called "Then and now" and it is only about the 8-bits. History is given and the future is guessed at. For those who don't know, Matt is a EXPERT on the 8-bits. So ANALOG is back, everyone should be getting their issues soon.
