An update: apparently Dick Barnes (the editor of the A&J) is doing better,
but is under doctor's orders to 'cut down', which means giving up the A&J.
He is working on learning C, with John Toebes as a tutor.

John is planning on writing a series of articles for Transactor for the
Amiga, which has finally started putting out issues again.  Every Transactor
issue I have received has been outstanding when it finally arrived, and with
their new, sounder financial and managerial backing, I would recommend them.

One thing to keep in mind, though:  you mentioned liking the hard-hitting
reviews.  Any magazine that takes advertising has to think twice about
publishing hard-hitting reviews of major products.  Since Transactor does
take advertising. . .
