I thought it was the big 'hoop-de-doo' on the front cover, but it was a smaller headline (and I also didn't think it was that recent -- May '89). Thanx again! Is there ANYBODY reading this list on a Pro-Line in New Jersey or Pennsylvania?? If there is PLEASE send me mail (or post here) and give me a number! Thanx! A2-Central, how can one STAND TO PAY --$28-- FOR IT?!?! I tried a 3 mo. 'trial subscription' and was ready to cancel after 1! I had read about AW 3.0 2 weeks before the newsletter came, in InCider, and I've been useing, USEING ShrinkIT for months before they touted it as 'new'.

Network Comment: to #4755 by obsolete!dlyons%apple.com I must agree with Dave Lyons on the issue of A2-Central. I subscribed to it after being dessatisfied with inCider's coverage of anything other than AppleWorks or AWGS. I feel that their magazine is good for beginners or people who heavily use AW or AWGS but I am neither. Tom Pierce complained about the timeliness of the AppleWorks 3.0 article and the apropriateness of calling SHRINKIT "new". Yet the AW article date WAS the official announcement date of the software, and I got my copy on that date (if not a little before). I must admit I had been using SHRINKIT for a while before I saw the article in A2-Central, but I have yet to see an article in any other Apple II magazine about it at all. In fact I find other magazines' coverage of telecommunications terrible at best. Don't get me wrong, I do not knock inCider, or any other Apple II mag for that matter. I just wanted to say that they serve different audiences. I personally prefer A2-Central because it gives me informative, from-the-hip articles along with many of the benefits of belonging to a User Group, well worth the subscription price (though at first I too thought it was too much -- it's already saved me about $100 on a certain Claris program, so maybe I owe them $72!:)) _______ | | Vernon Williams crash!vernonw@pro-carolina | o | 700 East 156th St. Apple SubSysOp at | O | New York, NY 10455 NYCENet BBS (3/12/2400 baud) -------- (212) <<look for new # soon!!>>

Although I don't subscribe to A2-Central (still wanna say Open-Apple), my best friend (Phoenix, SysOp, East Side GBBS (218) 773-1302) does, and I always rush over to see the new one when it comes out. I too thought it was overpriced, but it's far and away the best magazine for in-depth Apple users. (There's not many "neat-o" color pictures thought) Osiris
