There accually was some discussion on the net (you must have missed it).  I was
involved and I seem to remember it was more of a sigh than a rally cry.

I have enjoyed A+ more than any other mag. (may it rest in peace) and I was
sad to see it go, but the "big bucks" just weren't there any more so, they
bailed out.

I haven't followed Incider much, so I can't judge.  I bought one copy when I
first got my //e. I didn't like it then, but I'm willing to try it again.

> Too bad.  I cancelled my subscription the same day.

It's too bad you cancelled.  Because:    a) Incider is still supporting the
Apple II's (ie. A+ isn't any more.)    b) I intend to continue
reading/buying/exploring my Apple ('s //e & //gs) so I need a mag. that
supports it.     c) If you don't subscribe to "something" you'll loose touch.
 
> What say the rest of the community to this?

I think the jury is still out on whether or not Incider will replace A+.
