There tends to be more technical information in FAMA than TFH, although, my subscription seems to have expired a while ago, and I have'nt seen Any recently. They can be a bit difficult to find, and a subscription would be a good idea. I'll mail you the address if you still need it, ie. sombody doesnt beat me to it. There was a magazine in the 70's _The Aquarium_, started by W.T. Innes, that was still going strong, *long* after Innes started it. Metaframe bought them out around '73 and restricted all advertising except their own. The magazine died shortly after that. Too bad, as it was an excellent magazine, FAMA comes close, and TFH is just so many pretty pictures... -- Richard J.
