<> RE: Amigaworld >Anybody on the net know who the publisher is? (Subscription address, >$$'s, style, content, ... *anything*?) I think its produced by CW communications. Price is around $4.00 (high). They were able to say in one magazine what BYTE said in around 6 (?) pages. Their picture of the Amiga insides seemed out of focus to me. It looked like they had focused on the metal shielding instead. I seem to remember the word 'ultimate' being used. I am trying to assume that the lack of anything substantial may have resulting from a lack of anything real to talk about. Also, the magazine was started as a crash project. They may not have had time to do any serious investigative reporting. After the machine hits the streets, the magazine may improve. What got me to buy a copy were the ads. I wanted to see just what Tecmar was coming out with. harold ravlin {ihnp4,pur-ee}!uiucdcs!uicsl!hr

c'mon... it's a FAN magazine! don't expect to see "the amiga sucks" EVER!
i get "hardcopy" every month, and it's the same way about the DEC equipment
it caters to ("Gee, ain't DEC great?!" or "101 reasons why i love my RT-11").
in both cases, the rags are useful if only for the ads for software and
hardware add-ons. if they happen to have some interesting articles, that's
a bonus!
