# To add to the growing dispute over A2-Central, I should point out that A2-
# Central does indeed promise ALL your money back if you're not satisfied. It's
# printed in the boilerplate on the back of each and every newsletter.
#
# Tom, have you written to A2-Central? (I can understand not wanting to call
# them; that might cost more than you paid for the subscription.)
I called. They're 'looking into it'...
# [...] The two examples cited (one about
# ShrinkIt and the other about AppleWorks 3.0) were quite good articles. If you
# didn't have access to online information resources would you have known about
# ShrinkIt at all?
Probably not, true, BUT I DO!!! That's probably ONE of the reasons I
didn't like it!!
# And the AppleWorks 3.0 article was the FIRST report on AW
# 3.0 published anywhere. (If you saw it in InCider before A2-Central, the
# postal service messed up. That particular A2-Central arrived in my mailbox
# almost a whole week before AW 3.0 was even officially announced!)
Well... I read it in inCider 2wks. before I got that issue of A2!
# I will admit that since I got my modem, A2-Central has lost some of its
# edge. With a modem, I now have access to information as it is available,
# not two months after it is available. So maybe that's why it didn't meet
# your high expectations. But it sure does meet a lot of other peoples'
# expectations.
Well if YOU like it, and enjoy it, GOOD FOR YOU!! You'll recieve an
enjoyable publication each month. I DIDN'T so I don't want to recive it.
(Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...)
# Tom, if you haven't contacted A2-Central about this yet, I'll be happy to
# do so. In fact, I'll forward this entire message thread to Tom Weishaar.
# I'm sure he'll see that you're taken care of as soon as possible.
Well... As I said above, I have called. Tell ya what, DON'T contact A2
about this, let's see how long it takes them!

Ok.. Enough.. A2-Central must be after only one thing, our money! They
certainly don't carry vital news... nah, for a real news magazine, you need
inCider.. they've always got the hottest news on the market.. never mind if it
isn't always true (the truth only comes out 3 months after the fact) and never
mind that inCider is 99% advertisement and 1% writing (unfortunately, there's
another number.. the fact that only .000006% of that is worth reading!!)
