My subscriptions to Antic and Analog have been relatively error-free for over four years. When an issue is missing (twice for Analog) a phone call has gotten a replacement issue without question within a couple of weeks. The Antic disk ordering has produced a disk in hand within two weeks. There are times, however, when I think the quality of the articles and programs take a real nosedive (especially in Antic). Like when they both publish the same utilities or they republish a game that was primitive years ago and the "new improved version" is slow and primitive today. Or when they think a Basic version of an assembler game they published years ago is appropriate now (i.e., LIFE). It makes you think they have run out of material and are stretching to find something useful for the 8 bitters. Walt Lazear
