Does anyone know the status of MacInTouch? I called their office because I hadn't received a May '87 issue and got a recording saying that MacInTouch was bought by MacWEEK. Does this mean that MacInTouch subscribers have subscriptions to MacWEEK? I did notice that Ric Ford and Rick LePage are technical and senior editors respectively for MacWEEK (I already get MacWEEK). Any info would be appreciated. Bob S.

I talked to Ric last week, and he said Macintouch was out of money, but to wait for an upcoming announcement -- they have something going which looks to have some decent funding. From indications, it won't be Macintouch, but he's been talking to some of his stable of ex-writers about doing material for this new thing, whatever it is. Basically, Macintouch ran into the typical problem of a small newsletter -- it didn't keep its budget in line, and it died of its own success (we lose a little on each copy, but we'll make up for it in volume!). o chuq Chuq Von Rospach chuq@sun.COM Delphi: CHUQ Now, where did my ex-wife put my Fairy Dust?
