Just for the record, the letter I received from IDG Communications
says the publications have "MERGED". It will be a combined publication
although it will be produced by the Incider staff. The first issue will
appear in June with a circulation in excess of 200,000.

The letter also has a few other intereting facts: "The Apple II family
of products has an installed base of over  4 1/2 million installed units
and sales of Apple II software topped w3$177
$177 million in 1988".

(sorry for what appears to be line noise).
