Me too. I'm amazed AW did so well. When I got the first issue and found it to be seemingly without content, I did'nt mind. Heck, I said (yeah right) it's the first issue, it'll get better. it did. They added that digital canvas section and they had pictures. They were not great reproductions; I don't know why ImageSet uses pixels the size of phone books, but oh well. After the first year of my subscription expired, i really debated whether I should renew it. The content was just not there, oh sure it was glossy and slick, just like a bleached blond benz driver in beverly hills, all *nice and pretty* -- until she opens her mouth fre sure fer sure. I resubscribed. I didn't want to be blamed personally for the total collapse of Amiga journalism. This is a decisin I have come to regret. They havn't had a digital canvas section for a while, thats ok, _Computer Pictures_ has all the good pictures anyway, even if half of them are rendered on IBM PC's (what does that tell you ?); but the real pisser about AW is they're one sided editorial slant. They're about as open minded as the Ku Klux Klan. It doesn't matter what *they* think of Timothy Leary or Telecommunications, when they only print letters from their vapid readers all portraying only one side of the story it makes them look like the pack of bozos they undoubtedly are. -- "Shrimp Ahoy" richard@gryphon.CTS.COM {backbone}!gryphon!richard
