Just for the record, the letter I received from IDG Communications says the publications have "MERGED". It will be a combined publication although it will be produced by the Incider staff. The first issue will appear in June with a circulation in excess of 200,000. The letter also has a few other intereting facts: "The Apple II family of products has an installed base of over 4 1/2 million installed units and sales of Apple II software topped w3$177 $177 million in 1988". (sorry for what appears to be line noise). -- Internet -- bsherm%umbio@umigw.miami.edu UUCP -- {uunet!gould}!umbio!bsherm Miami's Big Apple 305-948-8000 1200 baud 24 hours 8 years online
