Unfortunately I had bad luck with the 3B/Journal publication! First of all from the one issue I did get it wasn't worth the $25.00/yr ($5.00 per issue -- you're paying for the paper they print it on). I decided to subscribe to this publication, back last year around April/May 1987. I paid my $25.00 via Mastercard, and received the first issue in July (July/August bimonthy issue). The journal had 30 pages, with 20% being advertisements. That didn't bother me all that much, as long as the rest of it had some content (which in my opinion it didn't). I didn't receive any publications for 6 months, and then I remembered about it. I called them and their number was changed. After finally tracking them down, I found out they moved and they were a little behind on the publications, but the promised me that the Nov/Dec issue would be coming soon. I still haven't receive any new issues. I wrote attmail!alpha!jou and attmail!alpha!plo (Paul Owens) wrote back. He said that he apologized about the delays and the issues should be coming real soon. This was back in January. It's now March. I just wrote and CANCELLED my subscription wanting a FULL REFUND of $25.00. They have no right in holding my money for over a year with just one issue!! I don't RECOMMEND this Journal at all. Be warned. -Lenny [ The above is, of course, a personal opinion. -mod ] --- US MAIL : Lenny Tropiano, ICUS Computer Group IIIII CCC U U SSS PO Box 1 I C U U S Islip Terrace, New York 11752 I C U U SS PHONE : (516) 968-8576 [H] (516) 582-5525 [W] I C U U S TELEX : 154232428 [ICUS] IIIII CCC UUU SSS AT&T MAIL: ...attmail!icus!lenny UUCP : ...{mtune, ihnp4, boulder, talcott, sbcs, bc-cis}!icus!lenny Volume-Number: Volume 13, Number 36
