Anybody know what became of _Microcornucopia_ magazine?  I haven't
seen it around in many moons.

Thanks,

I am sorry to inform you that Micocornucopia first went MSDOS-ish (fatal
mistake), then dropped dead due to this. The "Creator" says he just grew
tired of it all, but I beleive the MSDOS world doesn't bring out the
'hacker' (REAL meaning please) out in us that CP/M based machines did.

No. I wonder what the hackers did between the time CP/M faded out and the
Amiga came along...

They folded last year, after the publisher succumbed to burn-out.  I 
used to buy it at the newstand occasionally, and just happened to pick 
up the last issue.  

It was a really neat magazine.  Circuit Cellar Ink (available locally at
Software Etc. in the Burlington Mall) is about as close as anyone else
has gotten.
