In several issues of unix world there was an ad for a magazine
called the 3B Journal. The mag is apparently for all of the
AT&T 3B lines of computers. The cost is $25/year, and before
I send off my dollars, is it going to be worth it? Has anyone
gotten a subscription? My specific interest is unixpc/3B1, but
all 3B info is always welcome.

Here's the table of contents: Questions and Answers Letters Operating Notes: 3B1 Unix Upgrade Revisited Features: RS-232 Communications - A Primer RS-232: A Universal Communications Utility Software Forum: The Friendly Administrator UniForum 1987 report The Resourceful Shell PC6300 Terminal The CAD Corner: Power Up Your CAD System In The News Circuit Classified Ads The magazine was a thin 32 pages with an average article-to-advertising ratio. The editorial and production quality were, in my opinion, not quite up to professional magazine standards, but this is admittedly a small magazine serving a relatively small market, so I really wouldn't expect anything as slick as "Byte" or even "Unix Review". All in all we decided it was worth $25 on the chance that an occasional article (or ad) would have something useful to us.
