A friend of mine in England advised me that another magazine was preferable.
It is called something like "8000 PCW".  I got an airmail subscription.  The
cost is quite steep: nearly $100 for a one-year, 12-issue subscription.  It
does have extensive, interesting advertisements.  There is an awful lot of
software available in England for the PCW computers.  One thing, though.
There is virtually no interest in or knowledge of the CP/M side of the
machines.  I think I have seen only one CP/M article, and it talked about
DDT, which I would regard as thoroughly obsolete at this point.

If all you want is some advertisements, I would be willing to lend you one
of my copies of "8000".
