In that case, there really ARE no good ones left. A+ is fluff and useless information. Nibble has neat things occasionally, but I'm rarely interested in their regular monthly fare. InCider is okay, but just barely. (If they don't stop mailing me packets asking me to susbscribe, the rating goes down to "joke" too.) The only Apple-oriented magazine I read and enjoy with any regularity since Softalk died is Hardcore COMPUTIST, but even that is pretty limited, with a focus on removing copy-protection from commercial software. Who publishes MacWorld? That seems to be an interesting magazine, or maybe it's just my lust for the Mac that makes it look good. I wouldn't mind an Apple //-series specific magazine in that style. .rne. ----- Real World . .

I subscribe to 2 good mags. One of which I just found and am pleasently
surprised. First is Dr. Dobbs of course.....
The other is 68 Micro Journal. It reminds me a lot of Dr. Dobbs about
5 years ago. No slick pages (they do have a slick cover), looks like it was
mimeographed, etc. They mostly cover 6809 systems running flex or os-9.
But are starting to do more with 68K systems. There's been Mac articles in
both the issues I've seen. And they're of course covering os-9/68K.
And they have hardware articles too.
I just wish they wouldn't cover flex so heavily....but thats just
there for Historical Reasons.
