[] Looks like a new yuppie mag has just hit the pavement. Just recieved an issue (the first??) of *MULTI-USER Journal of Advanced Computing Technology* . First article in TOC is *The Electronic Puppy* !! 4th article is an exposition on why TurboDOS(TM) will beat out UN*X as a multi-user opsys. A little further down, is an article that explains why UN*X is useless in the commercial marketplace. ... Just what we need. Another rag published by people who don't know what their talking about, riding the computer bandwagon and spreading misinformation and confusion around the world.

... Just what we need. Another rag published by people who don't
know what their talking about, riding the computer bandwagon and
spreading misinformation and confusion around the world.
Just what we need: another message by someone, citing titles out of
context, who doesn't like a new magazine because it contains articles
that present a different viewpoint from the rest of the world, and is
not riding on the Unix computer bandwagon.
It appears that you didn't actually read any of the articles you cited
and just barely looked at the table of contents. That's too bad. You
might have actually learned something had you taken the time.
For some of us who know quite a bit about TurboDOS, for instance,
would agree with some of the viewpoints expressed in the articles
mentioning it. TurboDOS is the sleeper of operating systems for
networked micros.
Frankly, it's about time somebody took a bold step and published a
magazine dealing with this broad subject and did not hesitate to
include articles that mentioned another operating system besides Unix.
By the way, the issue we got was #3... as indicated on the cover.
