Just got the new (vol. 3, no. 4) issue of "Computing Systems" in the mail. Hummm, the articles listed on the back sure sound familiar. Turns out the listing of the articles on the back cover are from the issue a year ago.

Our publisher informed us that due a a printer's error, the wrong information appears on the back cover. Unfortunately this error was not 'caught' until over half of the issues were printed---so some contains the correct contents, and others previous year's. We've received a reduction in the print bill for this issue. Ellie Young Executive Diretor
