Comments: Regarding my comments last month, I'm happy to report that Analog Computing did ship a combined July/August issue about the end of July. They still deny that they have any financial difficulty and claim that this will help bring the release date ahead of the cover date. I don't see how it changes anything since they were a month late in getting it out. Maybe going back to a bi-monthly publication schedule would help both ANTIC and Analog Computing, but I know they wouldn't want to do it. Kit Kimes AT&T-ISL 1100 E. Warrenville Rd.
