Yes, Amazing does use Macs to produce the magazine. I remember a few years
ago (Gosh, has it been that long ?!) there was an article or maybe an 
editorial explaining this.  Obviously when the Amiga first came out there
was no way they could have used it for such a task, the software simply did
not exist.  Now there is software but it would be too much of a hassle for 
them to change.  I used to think this was bad but what you mentioned makes
perfect sennse, it means they tend to be a little more open minded about 
anything that is not Amiga.
