	Variously about AmigoTimes...

	I've been interested in what is happening to AmigoTimes for a while
	now. Harv's news piqued my curiosity again so I phoned AmigoTimes and
	spoke to Lisa. Turns out that Harv's rumours are fact and that INFO
	and AmigoTimes are consolidating. AmigoTimes V1i10 is going to be
	published with the next INFO magazine since AT 1i10 is complete and
	ready to roll. It will be an interesting hybrid issue. After that they
	will be published more uniformly in a single format.

	Expect to see the hybrid issue beginning of March. It'll be a 
	collector's item.  :-)

	The bottom line was financial - they grew too fast. They went 
	from 5,000 to 50,000 issues in less than a year.

	Another interesting note is that apparently they will have some of
	the Amiga Transactor's writers writing for them. This doesn't bode
	well for Transactor...

	Lisa sounded very encouraging. I wish them well.
