On another subject.  I was surprised to see no comments at all about the
recent publishing change and demise of A+.  A+, IMHO, was the only magazine
worth reading (It was definitely not the best, but it was the best of the
worst).  Recently Incider announced the 'merger' of A+ and Incider, with the
resulting magazine a combination of A+/Incider.  

Well, I never liked the rather moronic style of INcider, so I looked forward
to this day with dread.  I did receive the first issue, and it was called
Incider, no reference (save a little notice) to the merger.  The inside was
pure Incider, with a couple of articles left over from A+.  Everything that
was worthwhile in any way about A+ was gone, to be replaced by the incredibly
'babyish' look of Incider.

While A+ projected a mature, responsible publication, Incider has alwasy taken
the approach of wanting to appeal to children (at least that's what their
layout looks like).  Now, with this 'merger' over, I am sad to see that
nothing at all of A+ was left over.  It's just basically Incideer warmed over.

Too bad.  I cancelled my subscription the same day.

What say the rest of the community to this?
