	On the subject of Magazines, has anyone read one called A/X?  I've
seen it around occasionally for a while now, but up until a few days ago
never bought one (and sorry I finally did).  75% of the magazine is written
by a guy named Jay Gross, who has absolutely nothing good to say about 
Commodore whatsoever.  He all but completely denounced their ad campaign,
as well as their restructuring of the dealer base, and a good portion
of the issue was devoted to his "Blunder after blunder heaps up..."
attitude (quoted from 'Jay's Way'... closest thing to editorial AX has,
I guess...).   JG's seven articles aside, the magazine is fairly poorly put
together.  One article appears twice, in completely different layout each
time.  In some places the large characters used to start the first paragraph 
of the article actually overlap the text of the article itself.  
	I will give them credit for their reviews, which, although I haven't
really thoroughly read any yet, do seem pretty unbiased (nobody advertises
in AX so they don't have to worry about offending their advertisers), and
they feature quite a few screen shots of the items they review.
