One thing to remember about the Transactor is that a lot of the support
staff was let go when they ran into financial difficulties last year,
so it doesn't surprise me that subscription-handling wasn't perfect.  It
should be improving, however, since the new owners (Croftward Publishing,
a UK firm) are responsible for that end of things now.  Transactor
Publishing still exists, but now they're responsible only for editorial
content.

Also, they HAVE been publishing both the Transactor and the TransAmi
on a monthly basis since December.  Things seem to be going pretty
smoothly.  Of course, this also means there's more opportunity for
members of the Amiga community to submit & publish articles...

As a final note, two independent companies publish the Transactor and
TransAmi in Europe and in Australia, so people in those areas should
contact the respective company.  It's the same editorial content, just
different advertising.
