Do you mean the *May* issue? That's the one I just received a few days ago. There was only one aspect that I was disappointed with- the advertising. There was almost none to speak of. Normally, that would be a plus, except that with how hard it is to find Atari stuff in stores, I rely on the mail order places advertising in Analog and Antic. Anybody know what the scoop is on the lack of advertising in this issue? Oh yes, also...the "Busy Buddy Express" program listing is something I'd definitely like to have. BUT...I just typed it in before, and while it seems to work fine with Atari Dos 2.5, it does NOT work with SpartaDos (at least not 2.3). Under Sparta, it loads and appears to "work", but control never gets returned to DOS, hence you can't load Express! Anybody else confirm/deny this? And has anybody found a fix to make it work with Sparta is this is the case? -Ray wilmott@topaz.rutgers.edu

Back in August, we contracted for the November issue (Christmas ads...). We were never notified when the issue did not come out. Then, when they finally put one out in April... There was our November ad. They never told us it was coming out, or ask if we wanted to use the same ad or even if we still wanted to be in it. Didn't even get a copy of the magazine. Just a bill for an insertion in the April issue when we never ordered one! For one thing, we had a price increase and there is an ad we didn't want with last year's pricing.... Great way to keep advertisers happy... Matt Singer Commnet Systems
