Ditto here.  I'll wait until I see my A+ come in the mail.  If the statement
is true, and if it ends up being an InCider-type mag, it's out the door.
A+ has been consistently one of the finest magazines.  Remember the days
when InCider (I think it was called InCider way back when) had lots of
programs for graphics, program cheats (wish I had had that issue with the
Ultima III cheater), and useful information!?!?  

As far as the number of days the Apple II has been numbered, I'd agree,
4300 or so sounds pretty accurate.  Sure beats the couple of hundred (if
that much) for the PCjr :-)
