Well, it looks like Transactor is pretty much belly up, which is sad for
two reasons; it was my favorite Amiga mag, and I haven't received an issue
of my unfulfilled subscription for about five months now :(.

On the subject of the back issues that Fred paid for and never received,
did you ever consider that the profit from backorders must be phenomenal
if you never have to mail any of them ;^).  So maybe Andy *did* make some
money from back-issue sales ;^).

I hope that the rumor about INFO acquiring Transactor turns out to be true,
maybe I'll get some satisfaction for my unfilled subscription (I like INFO
a lot too - but I'll have to wait and see how well they can incorporate the
technical content of Transactor).
