If they offer no defense, we just have >to assume they are guilty as charged (1/2 :-) here). In this country, you are innocent until proven guilty. A. DDJ might regard Holub's remarks as sour grapes, and not wish to descend to mudslinging. B. If they publish an attack on Holub, they might be sued for libel or slander. C. They might even be sued for discrimination of some sort. Regardless of the merits of Holub's complaints, of which only he and DDJ really know, this is a free country. DDJ can hire whoever they want. Alan Holub is also welcome to start his own magazine, which I am sure would do well seeing that he obviously has a large and loyal following. In these days of cheap desktop publishing, I suspect that a small magazine could be started for under $10,000. How about it? I've known many people over the years who were fired or laid off, who then started their own businesses. Some have done well, and are glad that the dismissal gave them the boost they needed! I started my business for $6030 ($6000 for the computer, $30 for the business license). I also borrowed it all.

Can I be the first to ask for a subscription? I don't have anything to advertise, however, so maybe I'm not important :-). Seriously, I liked Holub's column and I am cancelling my DDJ subscription--so what magazine to turn to? Until Allen starts his own, is the 'C' Journal (Robert Ward's) good? -- John Campbell ...!arizona!naucse!jdc unix? Sure send me a dozen, all different colors.

Someone asked where to turn now that DDJ is a smoldering heap of debris. I kind of like COMPUTER LANGUAGE. They concentrate exclusively on programming; all they ever review is compilers and tools. Their articles are practical, the kind you tend to xerox and hand around. (I have spawned a gaggle of Boyer-Moore converts at the office that way.)

It is so unfortunate because Byte used to be such a great magazine. Look at A+. After Maggie Cannon left, it turned to the same stuff.(that stuff of plant growing quality) What ever happened to Micro? It would hold up its standard for the enthusiast, programmer, hardcore whatever! Aren't there any good magazines around anymore?? Just my opinion. Standard disclaimer.

Aren't there any > good magazines around anymore?? try micro cornucopia out of bend, oregon. a nice, small, friendly magazine that comes out bimonthly. they do a little of everything and love submissions. another possibility is the programmer's journal, but it is more ibm oriented (although they cover a lot of ground as well). jim nutt 'the computer handyman' -- St. Joseph's Hospital/Medical Center - Usenet <=> FidoNet Gateway Uucp: ...{gatech,ames,rutgers}!ncar!noao!asuvax!stjhmc!15.11!jim.nutt
